The ! n. 4 r train is running regu-
hrly now. the road having been cleared

ductor Maner determined to start out
with his train, let the obstacles be what
they mas.
The snow WIS piled in deep drifts on
tic r0ld bed, and NIL the tanks were
frozen up, making il impossible to get
water by That means Pesides this, the
mercury being away down below zero
IL required mare than ordinary bravery
10 venture out on such an undertaking
When one Of these snow drifts wa,
renched, Mr. Abshcr would just pull
open the throttle and let the little en-.
CINE plow through While this WI,
going on the snow would fly back in
dense clouds, binding the men aboarc
the engine.
The truin men were materially assist
ed At Howell Station by Messrs. Jesse
Evans AMI Whit Rcdford. These gen
slemen went to work and hauled watei
for thc engine, and by their energeti,
eflortz enabled it 90 proceed ON its way
The railroad officials also express them
selves under obligations to Esq. Ton
Majors, at lIerndon for assistance Civ
en- and ayors shown them.
Conductor Manner says 1t was prett,
tough trip, but nevertheless - success
Gal one The track is now free OF snow
and Tive train is running regularly. Tn
gentlemen deserve much praise for lhei
heroic undertaking 1t will be a YER
cold DIZZY when such men don't succee,
