rainy season
While pulling a party of Illinois edi-
tors and politicians in 1876, Mr.. Teller
averted an accident and saved the train
from plunging into a torrent that had
swept away the bridge, by reversing his
engine and turning sand on the track,
instead of jumping The excited passen-
gers poured out of the train and when
they found the engine hanging over the
brink. and realized to whom they owed
their escape, the politicians at once pass
ed resolutions thanking him, and the ed
itors started a subscription for a watch.
Three hundred and eighty dollars were
raised IN few minutes and turned over
to committee to buy and engrave a
watch for the faithful engineer. 1t is
fair to the politicians to say he received
their resolutions but never received the
watch, though he read in eastern papers
the particulars Of its presentation and
his happy reply.

the Central Passenger association adopt
ed a seal to imprint excursion tickets

companies had obtained the better OF
ticket maHipulators. The railroad agents
went SO far as to offer a reward of $500
for the arrest and conviction OF any per
son or persons who forged the seal and
the accompanying signatures
The seal was used FOR several big
meetings. including one or two in Chi

on sale it was discovered that brokers
were initiating the seal and getting

SANTA FE VETERAN.
Peter Teller is the Oldest Engineer in
Length Of Service

Peter Teller, who is now in charge OF
an engine running between Newton and
JetmOre, is the oldest engineer In length
OF service on the Santa Fe He has
watched the growth OF the great Kansas
railroad almost since its inception. and
his stock of "reminiscences IS something
wonderful.
Engineer Teller began work for the
Santa Fe near AtchfsOn in August, 1863
a shoveler on the second days work
OF construction, and has worked contin-
uously for the company ever since. He
began firing in June, 1870, and was given
an engine in August, 1872 He ran
construction train engine the next year
and took the first engine over the Ar
kansas river near Granada, Colorado
That was in 1878 and the first engine that
ever crossed the river bore the name
Kansas NO. 3D. The road was open
ed at Granada with q huge celebration
on July 4. The terminus remained at
Granada till the summer of 1875 when
the building of the road was resumed to
Pueblo. In 1875 President Hayes and
family, and Baron Rothschild, while
guests OF the Santa Fee, were given in
charge of Mr. Teller and his engine, from
Las AnimaS to Coolidge.
While the speed in those days was not
great, the danger was greater than now.
Deer, buffalo and cattle invariably
sought the tracks in cold weather to
sleep and were frequently discovered "

meeting it was demonstrated that the
effectiveness OF the copyrighted attach
ment had been rendered nil by the ma
nipuIators. The scalpers were handling
the sealed tickets with as much liberty
and success as they had been before
Officers Of these roads have now de-
cided to abandon the seal and use a
sticker- This is in the form of a three
coupon ticket The first coupon is given
the depositor of the ticket and serves as
his receipt. The second is fled with the
joint agent for the roads to show the
number OF tickets deposited, and the
third coupon is pasted to the return part
of the deposited transportation On this
coupon is written the name Of the road
issuing the ticket, its form and number
and the destination Of the holder This
description must tally with lie attach
ed ticket or the latter will not be ac-
cepted for passage If another ticket is
pasted it will not correspond with the
description on the coupon and the ma
nipulation will be at once discovered
Officers of the road say they do not
hope to invent anything that will for
ever prevent manipulatfons Of tickets
but they will only attempt to block de-
signing brokers and others by changing
the safeguards as often as possible and
in this way keep the scalpers guessing
