Here is a story Of new engine,
slow time and a fast walker, says the
GoodlAnd Republic. Tuesday morn
Tag Engineer Lon Patrick left Phil
lipsburg on engine 478, pulling train
No. Al. AS the train was about 10
leave boy stepped up and asked
Lon for ride, but as a new engine
does not always promote good temper
the applicant was told to get of the
earth. When Prairieview was reaCh-
cd, five hours later, the first person
Patrick saw was the boy who had
asked him for a ride. "How did
you get here" said Lon. Walked"
replied the boy. The engineer got
purple in the face, glared at tho
frightened kid and then burst out.
"Get on that train and stay there,
you red.heRded impl / don't allow
no blankety blank tie counter TO ont.
travel the 473" N. B.-Prsirieyiew
is just Is miles west Of the burg"
and as the boy seemed to be in no
hurry, he got on and rode.
%. d. Heath is one Of Oldest SET
tiers, and can tell more fthe happen
lngs Of the past twenty-five years than
anyone else. Tuesday he was in
reminiscent mood, and told story Of
an event that took plack in IT, 81
was out hunting in ~ with Ira ORA
per, and when up in what is now
Dayton township, we saw buffalo
calf Of about a year old. We had
expended all Of our ammunition and
wanted buffalo meat very bad. In
those days l was runner and / told
Ira to start back 10 camp and I would
run the calf down, ard lead IL home.
Ira took our guns and took after
the calf. After @ chase Of about two
hours I cornered the Critter, and was
about TO rope and tic il, when 1 dis.
covered that band Of Indians on
ponies we're after me. / made q
bride Of my suspenderg, mounted
the calf and rode away from tho
Indians. They chased me up 10 near
where Jim Murphy lives. Jim and
l had built a log cabin and had 81
pierced with loop holes. / reached
che cabin in safety, and drove my
buffalo into it, We fought the Indians
for several days, killing q dozen or
more Of them, when they left.,"
"What was done with the caIi~ was
asked. sour provisions during the
siege gave out and / killed il, and
thus again, my life was saved by
buffalo calf" was Mr.. Heath's reply.
'Some day." said Mr.. Heath, "when
I feel real we'll / will tell you fellows
a good story about the time Mr..
Grow Of Kansas City came to town."
