TRAINMEN MADE SURGEONS.
Northwestern Railway Makes New
and Novel Move.

Conductors, liTGE1en. engineers and
trainmep on the M2.thwestern rail
road are to be t.ia amateur sur
geons. Beginning at once, all of the
train crews in the employ of the big
system, will be given instructions in
the rudiments OF surgery, the dispens-
ing Of first aid to the injured and the
dressing of wounds received IL wrecks
and other accidents.
The adoption OF such system
marks another line Of progress in
modern railroad operation. For sew,
eral years the Northwestern has had
a surgical department completely
equipped and extending over the en-
tire system. 1t is under the direction
of Drs. John E. Owens end J. d.
Andrews chief and assistant chief sur
geons. They have the railroad sys-
TEN divided into two districts, in each
of which there are five or more chief
surgeons. Each district is sub-divided
and local surgeon is stationed at ey-
cry important point; either at stations
or at intervals OF thirty to fifty miles
These local surgeons are under the
district surgeons, who are in turn the
chief and his assistants. They are al
ways on duty subject to call day or
night In the Chicago district large
and fully equipped modern dispensary
is maintained, on Kinzie street, near
the Northwestern depot.
BY means Of written instructions
special demonstrations and a course OF
lectures by Drs. Owens and Andrews
all of the conductors, engineers, fire
men and brakemen are to be posted
on first aid to the injured" These
employees will each be furnished with
| a kit of necessary materials for dress
4 ing wounds. On each train, freight a!
well as passenger, large kits of sim
pie but necessary surgical instruments
! bandages, antiseptic dressings, ant
remedies will be placed so that in the
event of wreck or serious accident
! Immediate treatment can be given tc
the injured.
III this way it is believed by the OF
fcials of the Northwestern many
lives will be saved, also many fingers
hands, feet, arms and legs that fire.

from w. H. Cook of Los Angelas. CAL.
who is well known in this city where

though very unwilling one. Mr.. Cook
was making business trip from Los
Angeles to Bartlett Springs, town
about 700 miles away. A portion of
the journey was made in stage coach
in which there were nine passengers
When well up the mountain side the
coach was suddenly brought to a full
stop by man who, armed with a
fine Winchester rifle ordered the driv.
er to get down, compelled the men
to alight and form in a line. after
which he selected one of their number
to whom he said, Now, you go through
the line and get money. I don't want
watches or jewelry." Standing in full
range of an ugly looking Winchester
rifle, to hear was to obey. The man
went down the line and caught Mr.
Cook, whose purse contained $3.50. re
ceived 81, while Mr. Cook stated that
he never carried large sums of money
but would write them out check fol-
a large sum if that was acceptable; tc
this end his check book was produced
but the offer was declined. The mar
took up about $3.50, which was handed
over to the man with the rifle and he
bowling politely lifted his hat and went
on his way rejoicing.
