MCCormiCk's Sad Dilemma.

General passenger agents some
times have troubles of their own and
as we'll as the rest of US. Mr.. E. O..
Mccormick. passenger traffic manager
of the Southern Pacific, is an extern
sive advertiser-in fact, it is through
his liberal policy in using printer S
ink that he is mostly indebted for his
rapid achievement as traffic official.
A few days since he issued circu-
lars stating that politicians,
lawyers, doctors, merchants and me-
chsnics, on July to IL, could purchase
tickets to Los Angeles at reduced
rates. After 10000 had been run off it
was discove red that the word "thieves"
had been substituted for the word me
chsnics'' by some neal who cared more
for mischief than for business, and it
was necessary to destroy them How
ever some of the circulars found cir
culstion, which only augmented Mr..
McCormick's troubles. Jour

Tandem Eaolnel

The new tandem compound engine
No. 997, which was turned out of the
Santa Fe shops short time ago, has
broken the record for heavy hauling.
The engine was built as an experiment
and was put into the mountain service,
where the grades are steep and the
loads extra heavy. 1t was hoped that
this kind of engines would
be capable of doing the
work of the usual double headers
which are generally run on that part of
the system, and if today's performance
is any criterion the engines will meet
ell expectations. The 997, without ex-
ira exertion, came into Topeka today
from Argentine pulling q load of 1000
tons, composed of so cars, which is the
heaviest load ever pulled by
one engine in Kansas. The
pulling power of these new
compound engines is an unknown guam
tity and without doubt is capable of
q greater load than was brought in to-
Cay. Another engine. identical in
every respect to No. 997 is No. 99S,
which is in the paint shops and will be
ready for service in few days. The
men are anxious for a demon
stration of the maximum power of these
engines.-Topeka journal.

BRAKEMAN ON TRIAL.
He Was Subjected to the Wrath of
Gar Lockart.-BOund Over to
the County Court.

P. E. and J. J. McCue, one of them a
brakeman on the G. b. & S. A, ap-
peared in police court last night to an
swer TO the charge of assault and bat
terry on the person of Michael Coffee at
thu ST.. George hotel.
Walter Wall, who is the principal
wisuess 10 the case. appeared and stat
ed that he was there when the fight
commenced. and that one Of the McCue
boys struck Coffee on the head with
bottle. cutting him badly. When Nc
Cue attempted to strike Coffee second
time Wall interferred and received q
bruise on the left hand which has since
made him unable to work.
When Wall started to make his
statement the Times reporter stepped
forward to hear what he had to say.
He was imm ediately ordered to sit
down by the chief of police just the
sam as if he had been q criminal.
Immediately after the case had been
decided and the McCue brothers had
been ordered to be confined in the
county Jail, switchm in the G.. n.
& S. A. yards. stepped forward and
offered to put up a cash bond for their
release. The sw lehman asked the
HERALD reporter to explain the mat
ter to the recorder and, If possible,
have the men released. The record der
