In the San Francisco Bulletin of last
evening also appeared number of state
ments by delayed passengers.
W NJ Neville of Bozeman, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Bozeman Electric Light
Company, said the railroad company did
all in its power to make the passengers
comfortable. The latter did hold meetings
and sent dispatches to the railroad people,
but that was TO have been expected from
lot of people cooped up in q limited space,
and with no signs of an early delivery. He
was as impatient as any of them, but now
looks back upon the detention with soft
ened feelings, and was satisfied all was
done that could be accomplished 10 break
the blockade. As the train came on through
the great cuts in the snow they could see
what vast amount of work had been done
to open the road. There was food enough
for all, but there was complaint that 1t was
not plentiful. The Midget died OF
quinsy, superinduced by tonsilitis. The
air in the cars was not that fthe best ssni-
tary condition. There was one French
girl who did not make her wants known
and she went hungry until some one spoke
to her in French, when she told that she
needed food and ii was at once supplied.
P. E. Record, who was detained at Reno,
said II was royalty treated while / was
there. Our food was good and plentiful,
and, as the railroad company was paying
the bills, believe some of the passengers
ate as they had never eaten before. Our
sleeping quarters were of necessity crsmped.
In fact, l never yet saw bed on rsilroad
train or steamer that was quite as COM
Portable as one at home or in nrst-class
hotel. but outside of this l do not believe
there was a passenger at Reno who had
cause to complain. There were grumblers
on the train. but some men will grumole
under the most favorable condition OF az
fairs. I give the railroad company great
credit for the work it has done in raising
the blockade. You may think You have an
idea of the snow-drifts and the labor in.
volved in clearing the tracks, but you would
have to be at the scene OF action to have II
fully impressed on your mind
J. B. Meehan, Superintendent OF the
Pullman car service, exhibited resolutions
signed by all the Emigrant Gap delayed
passengers warmly commencing the Pull
man employees for the care taken of Their
passengers. He said that the Pullmans dc
not carry food enough for such long
blockade of course but all was done that
could be for the comfort of passengers Mr.
Meehan was especially severe upon the
knot of grumblers on the trains, who were
composed of people who are chronic growt
ers.
Railway Mail Clerk Thomas A. White
who was in the whole of the blockade, said
MY opinion of the situation is that nc
company could contend against the ele'
meats as arrayed against the Central Pacific
Company 1000 feet above the sea- All the
power that money could procure was Sc
cured by the company, and they did the
best they could to get the trains and pas
sengers through. There were between 70l
