MACHINISTS GO HUNTING.
A party of G. H. machinists. consist
ing of Bob Sykes, John Scott, Rod
Moore. Bert Sherwood. Jim Gooch and
Tom Williams, drove up to Canutillo.
Saturday night on a hunting expedi-
ton. This sextet of skillful
should be ashamed of themselves for
the awful slaughter of animals which
they perpetrated. They killed six rab-
bits, one quail and one woodpecker.
One of h party says that Bob Sykes's
gun got tired waiting for him to find
something to shoot at and just went
off on it's own hook. For a wonder
there was no one in front of it. Sykes's
timidness probably kept him from
shooting at anything. for coming back
he and Rod Moore walked over that
big hill because they were afraid to
stay in the wagon willis it was going
over.

SAFES FOR PULLMANS.
Safes for Pullman sleeping cars are
said to be under contemplation by the
company. The purpose OF the
safes is to furnish a place where the
passengers may deposit their money
and valuables upon retiring, similar to
the hotel plan. Statistics show, how
ever. that Pullman passengers, as a
rule, do not carry much money or val
uables when travelling. This fact is at
tested by a recent western holdup
where the robbers got SIS from the
Pullman passengers, $3.50 from the day
coach and 1910 from a tramp machin-
list who was stealing a ride on the
blind baggage.
