AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
An Arkansas City EngineerRem-
edies Hot Boxes
BY an Invention Of His Own Not
in Use.
Miscellaneous Railroad Items Along
Kansas Lines Personals and
Other Notes.

Engineer Carl Mac of the southern
division of the Santa re running out
of Arkansas City, has originated a de
vice for the prevention of delays on
account of hot boxes on engines, and
has fitted his engine according to his
plan.
Above each box, to the sides of the
tank is attached piece of hose. To
this hose is attached a branch pipe,
one branch running to each box and
making connection with the tank on
each branch is small cock. SO ar
ranged that the water from the tank
can be turned into the boxes when
needed. When box gets hot instead
of stopping, cooling and repacling, all
that is necessary is to turn the water
on and 60 ahead. This ccols the box
off and keeps it in good shape until
the run is finished, when 1T can be re-
packed at leisure AS it takes from q
half to three-quarters of an hour to
cool and repack a box, il can readily
be seen what a saving of time is made
BY this means boxes can be repacked
when the engine reaches the round
house. obviating all necessity of de-
lays in the running time.
At but a small cost, this cooling de-
vice could be made a part of the equip
ment of passenger coaches and freight
cars. and would undoubtedly very often
accomplish a saving in both time and
la Dor

A Syrian Woman Arrested for
Selling Without License.
Sheds Tears and Talks Much in
Her Foreign Tongue,
But the Judge Lets Her Go, and She
Says Tank, Tank and Shows
Her Gratitude by Offering
Lead Pencils.

There was one poor, lone woman weep
ing in police court yesterday afternoon
and she was enough.
She was booked in MI. Disbrow's de
scriptive way as nAssyrian woman" Mr.
Dlsbrow was unable to spell her name.
She had been arrested at the instance
of Frank Kingsley who said she tried to
sell some goods at his mouse at noon and
had no license
She was not very big woman, nor
very young woman nor yet very clean
looking woman. She was a typical
Syrian ped4ler with two braids Of black
hair hang e down her back, uncOuth
clothing, a. Italian complexion and coal
black eyes.
Over her head she wore a shawl and
on the table were the basket and valise
she had with her when arrested, They
contained her stock.
She did not weigh more than 40
pounds, though of medium height and
either one OF the packages would out
weigh her. Sergeant Tim Donovan could
hardly carry one of them.
She began to tell her story before court
began 10 a high shrill voice and her
native tongue.
Her name as she pronounced it sound
ed like "Sidie" 1t is probably spelled
''SidL"
1t was impossible to keep her quiet
though Chief Gardiner, Attorney Bird
and Judge Ferry combined against her
She walked to Mr. Bird and tried 10
explain 20 him exactly how it was.
When she was half thrOugh-she never
would have fnished-the court knew
exactly as much about it as he did be-
fore Her arms swung like windmills
with most elaborate elOquence, and her
tongue ran on like penny whistle.
No interpreter could be secured.
you'll have to talk United States if
you want to do business with us" said
Mr. Bird.
The woman emitted something that
sounded like a statement that business
had been very bad, aud even the court
had 10 laugh.
How long have you been in America"
asked Mr.. Bird.
Three weeks" Offered
where did you live before you came
to American"
'ChiCargo."
Tt was evident the woman could not be
given 2 fair trial. SO she was dismissed
and told to leAve town in Mir. Birds and
Judge Ferry's very londesI tones
w hen the full import Of the dismiss al
struck her she was OverjOyed and the
tears that were in her eyes and on the
end Of her nose dried there.
Tank, tank" she said in her very best
way aud bowed herself out
But she came back again with a hand
full of penny pencils, one of which she
offered to the judge and another to Dir.
Bird, with her compliments.
Sir. Bird took his, but the court refused
TO be subsidized.

He Is Believed to Have Made the
Attempt to Wreck the
Stimson House.
HAD WARNED THE MILLIONAIRE
offered to Prevent the DaStardly
Crime if He Was Paid a Sum
of Money.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 1S.-Hsrry
Coyne, alias Hank Coyne, an alleged de-
tective, was arrested this morning by De-
tectives Auble and Hawley on warrant
charging him with assault with intent to
commit murder. The arrest is the out
growth of the explosion which took place
at the residence of Capitalist T. D. Slim
son, on Figueros street, short time ago.
About three months ago Coyne was en-
gagged by Mr.. Stimson to accompany a son
of the millionaire 10 the City of Mexico.
This son was unruly and ungovernable,
and ne millionaire desired to get him
away from the city. When Coyne re-
turned to Los Angeles he found that his
office furniture had been attached by a
constable to hquidate some of his lndebt-
edness.
A few days after his return Coyne went to
Stimson and apprised him that he Slim
SOM was in danger OF his life. Is stated
that something terrible was likely TO hap
pen him. He minated that he vas in the
secret and that for a certain sum OF money
an exposure OF the guilty parties would be
made. Stimson refused to treat with
COyne, and soon afterward the explosion
occurred.
Stimson went to the Chief of Police and
informed him OF Coyne's actions and i'm
piled threats. Detectives Auble and Raw-
ley were then detailed on the case. Coyne,
who appears to have always maintained
his assurance, called on Chief Glass and
gave him lengthy and detailed account
of another contem plated outrage on Slim
son. He informed the Chief that for $50
he would place the malefactors in the
Chiefs power Coyne's next call was upon
T. D. Stimson. He notified that gentle
man that there were three men in the
scheme to either blow up the Figueroa-
street mansion, set fire to his lGmber-yard
or stab him in the back
The most singular thing IN connection
with this affair was the fact that Coyne
invariably stated that these men were in
his power and would do his bidding. He
made the proposition both TO Mr.. Stimson
and the Chief of Police that if he was paid
$3.50 he would so arrange it that they could
capture the men in the act, but he stipu-
lated that he should be one of the men
who would make the capture.
The police say that Coyne was not alone
in the scheme. When the case OF Coyne
is brought up in the courts sensational de-
velopments are expected. it is limited that
one OF the supposed malefactors is a young
man well known to the community and
not unknown to Mr.. Stimson
