SEARCH AND SEIZURE.
superintendent strylker Takes the
Law and the Liquor in His
Own Hands.

One of the principal speakers on the
POpulist side OF the present campaign
was making a drive across the country
in the western part of the state with
superintendent Stryker a few nights
ago. They had already made speeches
that night and were driving to a town
twenty miles away to catch an early
morning train. The night was chilly
and the wind that swept over the prai-
rie chilled the travellers to the marrow.
Before starting Stryker's companion
had invested in a pint of something
warming" and as he rode over the prai-
RE he occasionally took a nip at 1t.
Stryker stood it as long as he could
but he finally thought that the COM
panion was becoming entirely too talk
ative, and was afraid that the liquor
was having a bad effect. Little by lit
tie he slipped the bottle from the other
mans pocket, and getting it over the
back of the seat, threw it far out into
the grass.
The next time the other man went for
the bottle it was not there, but he made
no complaint. AS soon as he got back
to the Populist head adquarters. however,
he notified the state committee that he
didn't want to be sent out to make any
more speeches with Strylzer, especially
if it was to be n the short grass country
where he would have to make -verland
trips in the cold

Year

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 22-It is stated
here that the expected reorganization
of the Union Pacific. the Oregon Short
Line and Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton companies will have the effect of
consolidating the Short Line and the
Oregon Railway and Navigation con-
Germ into one system to be operated
from Portland, Ore. Inquiry at the
general Office of the short line brought
out the statement that this is what has
been expected all along by the officials
of the road.
One who is well posted in the secrets
of the Union Pacific said that the rumor
was well founded and made the further
statement that in less than one year
the same combination would control the
Central Pacific as we'll and that the
meetings in this city and the election of
the Union Pacific officers on the Short
Line board was only the beginning of
the working out of a design that will
be far reaching in it's effect.
