Santa Fe depot yesterday afternoon,

kets. The railroad allows ono man to
accompany a car of horses, but IL seems
that Randall was not satisfied with
going alone. but desired to give his
wife and three grown girls free ride
So he hit on feasible scheme. After
loading his horses into the car, Ran
dali purchased some lumber and built
a partition at one end of the car. max
ing an apartment just large enough To
admit OF his family. Randall then pro.
vided himself with an oil stove, box
Of bread. some crackers, canned goods
and meats, and depos ting his family
in the improvised compartment The
car was attached TO the regular stock
train aud started for Kansas City,
Randall's family Jared well until Guth'
rie was reached when the inopportunt
singing oJ one of the Randall girls,
precipitated an investigation by the
trainmen, and Randall's odd bouffe
scheme was disclosed. The trainmen
experienced hard work in dislodging
the family but threat from Agent
Delaney that he would side track the
car II Randall did not vamoose, brought
the stick Texan to terms. Subsequent.
ly he purchased tickets from here tC
Kansas City for his wife and daugh

who is. generally beliked and has

of our people, had his heart glad

question and gives him great encour-
agement in his work. DIR. Harper
preached again at night, and Mr..
Van Pelt rendered several more
sweet solos.
