SNAKE IN THE TRAIN.
Creates CONSERVATION Among the

Passengers Near Fort Scott
Fort Scott Monitor: A lady passenger
who arrived here on the belated Mis-
souri, Pacific train from the east yes
terday morning told a story of a sensa-
tional happening on the train as it was
coming through western Missouri.
She said man boarded the train at
one Of the small towns, carrying a small
box which proved to be filed with
snakes Neither the conductor nor pas
Sengers were aware of what the box
contained until after they had Travelled
some miles, when they were awakened
by deafening shrek from a woman
who had been asleep, beside her small
child just in front of the man with the
box. One of the snakes, a reptile said to
be about six feet long, had escaped
from the box, crawled up the back of
seat and was passi@g over the child's
body when the owner discovered 1t.
Fearing the mother, who was just doz-
ing. would see the snake before he
could catch It and make an undue out
break, he laid his hand upon her and
babe her not to be alarmed But she
was and at sight of the snake she ut
tered a scream that brought nearly all
the passengers of the car to her side.
Meantime the snake owner had grab
bed the reptile in his hands, coiled it
and dropped it in his coat pocket.
The conductor had also heard the
outcry and he ran to the car and COM
PEELED the owner of the snakes to take

Colorado is experiencing the heaviest
demand for railway men in her history
and, apparently. the shortage in en-
pioyes will be difficult to fill. From ev-
cry division headquarters comes the
working as much if not more than the
men care to. On some of the divisions
especially on the hills, the braxemen go
through the trains and make deals with
the deadhead passengers in box cars
to get out on top and earn their pas
sage and a square meal besides by
manipulating the brake sticks. In this
way the regular men save their strength
for longer hours as well as handle
trains with greater safety
On the Gulf every cabOOse is occupied
by a regular crew and last night an
extra set of men went south with a ca
boose imprOvised from box car lately
used by a construction gang. From Co
mo came a demand from Superintendent
81. Rainey to send up few men to man
the freights over Alpine and Boreas
hills. Division superintendent along
the RirO Grande at Salida, Alamosa and
Grand Junction likewise wired in re-
quests for brakemen, while the Midland
announced that it could use men on eV-

AFTER TIE TRAmPs.
Santa Fe Securing Evidence to Help
Pass Legislative Bill

One of the moves that the railroads
contemplate getting before the Iegisla-
ture this winter is the prohibiting of
tramps from riding upon the trains.
This is always a disagreeable feature
that trainmen have to contend with and
in throwing them off injuries are often
inflicted upon both the trainmen and
the parties seeking to ride without pay
ing fare. This the brakemen and con-
ductors of passenger trains do not have
to contend with so much as the train
men of freights. But the force on each
have many skirmishes of a serious ma
ture.
Some time since an order was issued
out of the Santa Fe department for con-
ductors to report to Trainmaster Tice
all occasions where tramps had made
an attack upon their trains of any ma
ture, whether any one was hurt or not
This will be used as evidence before the
legislative committee to further the
passage of the bill. The Santa Fe is
in possession of much valuable evidence
bearing on the case and in connection
with other roads hopes to push bill
through at the next session of the legis-
lature making it a capital offense for
tramps caught trying to steal a ride or
cumming on the company in any such
manner.

A CoNTENTED MAN.
The Cinder Shoveler at the Santa Ee
Philosopher.

One of the interesting characters in
the Santa Fe yards is the aged employe
who loads cinders from the pit to the
car.
He is a faithful old man bent with
years but day after day, rain or shine,
he is ALWAYS at his post He loads from
a car to a car and a half day and new
er complains, although his duties are
most arduous.
He is required to shovel straight over
his head and as each car contains IA
cubic yards it can be seen that his po-
sition is no sinecure. But he is a
faithful soul, never complains and is
seemingly happy with his lot.
