HAVE GONE TO HARDIN.
Santa Fe Steel Workers Expect to
Return in Two Weeks.

Frank Hammond took his force of
steel bridge workmen to Hardin, MO,
last night, where they will put in a short
time repairing Orders Thence they viii
go to GaleSburg, ILL.,, for Il similar pur-
pose, and after that they will return to
Topeka. Two weeks from last Tuesday
they expect to be ready to begin the
structural portion of the new machine
shop and that job will hold them here
the remainder of the winter and we'll
into the summer. Tuesday they moved
the Traveller by means of which much
of the material is hoiSted, from its posi-
ton south of the new blacksmith shop
into location that was formerly on
North Klein street, from where it can
be quickly set for use-on the new struc-
ture. The other day Hammond's men,
seventeen in number, showed their APP
probation of their foreman by present
ing him with a $50 solid gold watch.
Hammond has had charge of the steel
structural work on the Santa Fe for
eight years. Previous to connecting
himself with the railroad he did con-
tracts of this class on buildings. de
erected the steel frame of the Hartford
building of Chicago, 16 stories high; the
Teutonic and Boyce, of the same city,
10 and Is stories respectively, and the
Union Trust building, of st. Louis, 16
stories He only recently brought his
gang in from Los Angeles, Cal, where
they have been constructing bridge.

at Majuba, removed their boots, climb
ed the precipice without noise and COM
pletely surprised the sleeping British
camp The terrible struggle lasted bare
ly half an hour. Three more British
officers have died from wounds re-
ceived in these engagements, making
