Sec. 2. All stock loaded at a. m, any stock
coming too late will be driven to Baird, over
taking the train, and leave on No. go at $780,
If the cattle continue to stand up well, they will
wait until daylight the next morning, SO as to
give them chance to inspect the country they
are passing through.
Sec g. on the arrival of stock at Fort Worth,
they will be side-tracked for two hours at least,
near Union depot, Cor u. P. side), and wait the
arrival of north and uth-bound passenger
trains; so as to allow the passengers and immi-
grants chance TO become acquainted with the
6ne stock of Western Texas.
Sec. 4. Each shipper will be provided with
cattle ext ermlnator, otherwise a speed recorder,
which will be hung to the seat of his pants, for
the purpose of informing his employer how long
he laid over at Fort Worth, Denison, Muskogee,
Parsons and Sedalia, in particular.
Sec. 5. ANY stock car having an inch space
between the stats will be sent the shops with
out delay, for the purpose of weather boarding
the sides to prevent shippers from thrustlng

Sec. I. Superintendents, females, hemales,
stock agents, freight agents, and all who
liable to give the run away, will not be allowed
under any consideration to rice the caboose
with the shippers. as slow running on the Texas
and Pacific is apt to bring sickness, and in many
cases cause them to die young.

engineer before detaching his engine from the
