REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Fort Scott. Kas., June l7.-Mrs. c. b.
Hammond. daughter of a Butte tAiont.)
millionaire and a bride of a few months.
has just packed her trousseau of costly
Partisan gowns. loaded them into a freight
car on the Kansas City. Fort Scott and
Memphis road in this city and taken up her
residence in the car with her young hus-
band.
Though Mr.. Hammond was but a section
hand on the railroad during the several
months of their residence here, they lived
in fire style and their recent departure is
an incident from which Fort Scott society
can hardly recover.
Millionaire Barrett Of Butte. took his wife
and daughter TO Hot Springs. Ark, early
last fall 20 spend the winter. The daughter
was . years old. They took apartments at
the Park Hotel. Young Hammond. who is
the son Of General Superintendent H. II.
Hammond of the Kansas City. Fort Scott
and Memphis road. was at Hot Springs re-
cuperafing from an injury sustained in a
runaway. At the hotel he met Miss Bar
rett. Her parents frowned upon him, but
frally consented TO a marriage and decided
to. give an elaborate wedding at the hotel.
A trcusseau was ordered from one of the
fashionable modIstes in Paris.
But meantime something happened-no-
body knows just what-that caused Miss
Barrett,s parents to desire a less formal
wedding and the order for an os.entatious
service at the hotel vas countermanded.
Young and his afianced were
then clandestinely married at one Of the
other hotels.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett were greatly morti-
ned by this incident. 1t is understood they
nave. distnherited their daughter.
After the marriage the young couple went
TO Kansas City. Hammond's father pro-
posed to help him In a business way. only
on condition that he began at the bottom
OF the railroad business and mastered 1t by
nard. actual experience. He was assigned
To a section gang in this city under Fore
man Sullivan. Every work day for months
ne was seen with the gang at work in the
yards here. and every time he rode by the
station on a load of dirt or ballast some
one would point him out to an interested
company of spectators. He wore overalls,
a jumper and a broad brimmed hat, and
was soon smoking a cob pipe: but was
easily distinguished from the other section
men by his more refined features.
Recently young Hammond concluded that
he had learned the business of road-making
and his father made him second man in
authority on a work train which is now
stationed at Garland, Kas., cutting down
a grade. A small box car or. as IT is known
In railroad parlance, a 'shanty car" was
htted up for him especially. Ventilation
