were almost sorry for 1t. In the round
house an engine had been smoking
badly and part &C the house was filed
with smoke. In this brass collars" be-
came lost and could not find the doors.
One of them, in trying to reach an
opening. fell through the floor over an
old engine pipe and barked his shins.
Another stumbled over an iron wheel
barrow and said lot of things this Z:
are not In the Bible. The general sup
er.ntendent himself Is credited with
with falling into six foot deep open
sewer ditch. and after he got out pro-
nounced the Emporia roundhouse the
most mixed up affair he was ever In.
It took the officials the rest of the
night to clear their lungs OF the coal
