man stationed in this city is authority
for the statement that a box car was
set out at a small siding on one of the
branches last week, and the wheels
had hardly stopped before three men
began loading wheat in it. 1t resulted
in a regular fist fight as to who was
the rightful renter of the car. There
is an abundance of wheat and with the
record breaking corn crop in sight,
there is no question but that there will
be a shortage of cars in which to trans
port the grain to market.-Newton Re-

failures in t~wenty-fouf hours on ac-
u of leaking fire boxes on this di-
vision. 1t has frequently occurred
since the strike took effect that pas
senger locomotives died out on the
desert, delaying trains, notwithstand-
ing the large force of non-union men
. trying to do the boiler work here, and
the doping of engines with bran,
chopped hemp, wood s%havings, plaster
of paris and iron borings. The locomo-
tives continue to die and the long line
of dead ones ON the sidetrack is
frightening. Traffic is becoming en-
barrassed now for lack of motive
power and this is only the dull season.
There is a busy time coming in a
couple of months for the company. Are
they going to continue to pay a lot OF
helpers, wood-choppers, COOKS and
shoemakers 1856 a day II board to
ruin their locomotive fire Jokes n
meet the busy season in that condition
rather thar pay good bOilermakers 81
a day to do first class work? The
echo in business halls whispers No
The Loilermakers are patient and firm,
but reasonable. Everything looks good
to them"
