typhoid fever, brings from the man
agement Of the Harvey system what
are said to be the facts In the case.
The young girl was stricken Ill while
in the conlpany's employ at Ash Fork.
The regular physician employed by the
Harveys at THAT point advised that she
be taken to Los Angeles, as Ash Fork
was considered too high an altitude.
The head waitress. who for some rea-
fellow employees of the deceased, vol
unteered to accompany her She wired
from Needles to Manager S. B Sny-
der, at Los Angeles, requesting him to
have an ambulance at the station. The
two women occupied berths in a Pull
man, and had every comfort that rail-
road companies afford After the train
left Barstow, the sick woman breathed
her last. The head waitress. not de-
sf-iug to cause a disasreeable Sensa-
tiou among the passengers, kept the
Wo1lans death a secret and for fear
thS the news might leak out, she even
faxed to notify Manager Snyder at
Los Angeles, who personally met the
trim with an ambulance as requested,

Agent George c. West, of the Santa
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix, at Phoenix,
reports that the business of the road

nearly impossible to find a place to
put them. The sidings are all filed
with cars from which merchandise, in
Guiding mining machinery, lumber, and
in fact all kinds of merchandise is be-

Even the scale track and repair track
have to be pressed into service. One
OF the largest items of freight that is

NO MORE PAY CARS.
Union Pacific Will Hsnceforth Pay
Its Men by Checks.

Monday evening was the last time
that Union Pacific employees will re-
The employees checks will hereafter
be sent to the station agents who will
pay off the men under them. This new
system will save much expense to the
railroad company. The abandoning of
the pay car, which has generally been
a special train will be a relief to the
many employees of the road. What time
it would arrive at any station has al
ways been a matter of doubt until it
pulled up to the depot and stopped.
This uncertainty has always been a
matter of dissatisfaction with the en-
ployes, especially those who worked at
night and had to sit up all day and
wait for the pay car. In all these years
that the Union Pacific has operated
pay cars only one of these cars have
been held up and robbed.

REMOVED By MAGNETISM.
Steel Splinter Drawn Out of Santa Fe
Mans EyebalI.

William Brown, a machinist appren-
tice at the San Bernardino shops of the
Santa F'e, met with a painful accident
while at work the other morning which
will probably cost him the sight of his
right eye. While at work on a lathe a
bit of steel turning flew into his eye,
penetrating to the iris. He was taken
lis. the company surgeon, who dressed
the eye as best he could and then sent
the man to Los Angeles. There the
turning was removed by means of an
immense magnet purposely made for
such operations. The eye is in very
bad shape, and will probably have to
be removed altogether.

WHITE GOES AGAIN.
Leaves Emporia Second Time With
out Paying His Debts.

Emporia, Kan. Dec 2s.-The Gazette
says:
Willard White, the missing cattle
man, returned home Thursday and left
again but did not report where he in
tended to go. His leave this time was
as unexpected as his first disappear
ance and in fact he came and went
so fast that his partner Mr.. Sullivan.
did not get a chance to settle with him.
He went to Mr.. Sullivan's place after
a saddle belonging to him. The two
men had a conversation in which Mr.
White learned the state of their af-
fairs. White said he was going out
in the country to settle for a COW which
he bought before he left the other time.
Willard went to his brothers for din
ner and Immediately after dinner took
his grip and left town. He did not
call on any of the attorneys or pretend
to settle any of the mortgages. He
stated that he would mortgage his
property for no creditor but that if he
was successful enough to make the
money he would pay off all. He is said
to have left with about thousand dol
lars which he said would be enough to
get another start. Some say he had as
much as $500 when he left yesterday.

REGISTER THE PASSENGERS.
New Check System on Conductors
Said to Be in Use.

1t is rumored among railroad men
that the Santa F'e, with the co-opera-
ton of other roads, has devised a sys-
tenn for registering passengers which,
it is stated, viii curtail the populations
of dishonest conductors and add to the
profits of the COMPANIES. Although de-
tails of the plan have not been made
public, it is known that the plan is to
register all passengers upon going
aboard trains and check them off upon
leaving, the registration and checking
to be done by station employees instead
of any member Of the train crew or
train agent.
