the sleepy people in our car and when
we stopped at little way station per-
susded the engineer to let me ride on
the locomotive. The monster rocked
like cradle, for it was cheap branch
road, running up into the wilds OF
North Dakota, but I soon became &C
customed to the pitching and tossing.
When the engineer laughiugly told me
to stoke up 1 sprang down threw open
the furnace door and obeyed orders. 1t
was greet sport, and 1 kept stocking,
getting black enough for pickaninny
act and running splendid pair OF
kids. At the next station we stoppe"
for dinner and l had behaved SO
we'll that the engineer said [ might
ride ten miles further with him, AS
ouly wanted a cup of coffee, L was soon
back in the cab.
Desiring to improve my mind, L ex-
amined the mechanism OF the thing,
and wishing to know the use OF a GER
tain lever, gave it pull just as =!
had seen the engineer do. Gracious!
There was an awful putting and Wheel
ing and snorting, and by the time 1
could gather my wits we we're going
across the prairie lickety split. didn't
know what to do, but the one order to
me had been to stJke up, and stoke up
I did, frantically and with hysterical
strength.
s.Suddenly 1 was selzad from benin
and thrown right into the coal bin ..
and the conductor, who had crawled
in over the tender without warning
me, swore horribly. While we were
backing up to get the engineer and

the Ruby saloon yesterday afternoon
with q crowd of friends. After they
had all called for lemon ade the leader
of the party roticed slot machine
and with a deter mined look on his
face be told the crowd that she was
going to break that thing" The first
time it paid two for one and the next
time he put in two for one. The third
niece of coin that went into the ma
chine the look on the mans face in
dictated that he was in great men
tai agony. He nervously scratched his
head and looked longingly sat the
glitter OF a yellow piece of money he
had p aced in the slot. After regain
ing his equilibrium he gsspingly\ APP
preached the bar tender and told him
that he had placed So in the machine
instead of a five cent piece. The joke
was readily picked up and the excited
gentleman was told that he would have
to wait until the coin passed through
the regular course and came out into
the box "How long will that be?''
was asked. "that depends upon how
much the machine is played. u
was the cool reply. but
must go out on my run in half
hour" said the railroad man. THAT s
your misfortune" said the mixologist
with smile, and for time the crowd
INDUCED in general good time at the
expense of the nervous railroader. He
enumerated things that he had to buy
with the five dollars that amounted to
over twenty-five and wound up bv stat
ing that he had to send $40 of it home
to a sick mother, After the crowd
concluded that the joke had been play
ed long enough the Eve dollar gold
piece was released and handed back to
the owner and he Immediately disap-
peared.

POLICEMEN REPRIMANDED.
One Discarded Part of His Uniform
While on Duty.

Major Sylvester today issued orders repri-
manding Privates flanagan and Sanford Of
the fourth precinct for violating the po-
lice regulations. The former charged
with laying aside a part of his police uni
form in order to aid him in making an ar
rest. In the course of his reprimand
Major Sylvester said:
''In this instance the affair was not of
that deplorable character which would lead
the officer to believe that his life was at
stake; and il was not so serious that the
end justified the means, when he laid aside
his uniform and disguised himself as a
rag tag
when assaulted by persons other than
the one he was attempting to arrest, he was
justified, in my opinion, in using his weapon
in self-defense, but the other features OF
there is some further reason than that
which he advances for taking off his uni
form without the permission OF his superior
officer | will be forced to discipline MIN
for his lack of good judgment: L might add
that charges have been preferred against
Private Banagan, to which l am now giving
consideration"
Major Sylvester also addressed an in
quiry to Lieutenant Hollinberger, saying:
You will please advise me whether you
knew that an officer had taken off his uni
form after he had gone out on police duty.
Recognizing that the lieutenant is privf-
legged, when the occasion should demand, to
use an officer in citizens clothes, l cannot
clear my mind to where the officer In
this instance obtained the right to discard
his uniform that he might make an arrest
in a petty assault case"
Private Sanford's offense was firing his
revolver in the air to attract the atten-
ton of some of his brother officers.

WANTS AN ACCOUNTING.
Suit Of Maud T. Porter Against A. M.
Sayrc.


Maud T. Porter, through Attorney I. Will
Hanson, late yesterday afternoon In
stituted suit in equity against Adolph
M. Sayre for an accounting and for
writ Of ne exeat The accounting is
sought in connection with funds the COM
plainant alleges she placed in the hands of
the defendant to invest for her in stocks.
As he has expressed the intention of going
abroad in a very short time, states the COM
plainant, she asks that the writ of ne exeat
issue to restrain Mr.. Sayre from leaving the
jurisdiction until the matter at issue is
passed upon by the court.
In her bill the complainant sets forth, in
effect, that last January, relying upon as
surances of the defendant that he had ac-
quired vast knowledge and experience in
stock transactions, and having full conf
dence in his integrity, she gave him $50 to
invest for her in stocks. Upon being told
by him that he had realized large profits,
she gave him $500 additional, and later
81 COO making s., $50 in all.
The complainant includes in her bill
number Of letters alleged to have been writ
ten to her by the defendant In these let
ters he stated that the transactions were
netting her large profits. In one of the let
ters he announced that he had realized a
profit of $25, 900, of which 5000 was an
other persons. Being greatly pleased with
this news, the complainant says she con-
cluded she could Withdraw the original
amount she had invested with the defend
ant and leave the large profits with him to
reinvest for her. According to the COM
plainant she met with considerable difficulty
in her efforts to secure the original amount
and finally she sent her attorney to him.
The attorney, so it is stated. was informed
on the occasion of his first call that Sayre
was too busy to talk about the matter and
upon second visit that he had decided not
to talk with an attorney. Thereupon it
was determined to call the matter to the
attention of the court.
Mr.. Sayre is young man, who graduated
from the Columbian Law School in 1895,
and is said to have been successful recently
in stock speculations When seen last night
he stated that he had invested some money
for Miss Porter, but declined to say any
thing further in regard to the proceedings
instituted against him until he has con-
suited with counsel.

Convicted of Theft.

Sadie Coleman, the colored domestic who
was arrested last week by Detectives Helan
and Boyd for robbing Miss Elizabeth Cas-
tell of a gold watch and two skirts, was
arraigned In the Police Court today. The
woman had formerly lived in Miss Castell's s
house, and, after her employment ceased,
it is alleged, she returned and committed
the theft. She admitted her guilt to the
officers, who recovered the watch where she
had sold it. Her plea today was that she
sold the watch for another girl but was un-
able to tell where the girl could be found.
Judge Scott was told by Detective Helan
that Sadie had been arrested on previous
occasions and convicted of theft. The court
imposed fine of SIS, with sixty days in
Jail as the alternative.
