Two Maidens Separated From
Their Clothing While on a
Sleeping Car
A DILEMMA FOR ALL CONCERNED
Left Their Own Car to go to Toilet
Room of Another, When Train Is Cut
In Two and Sent In Different Direc
tions-Train Stopped and Girls TAX
en- Back to Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, July 2S.-Clad in lace
and lingerie their pink little feet peep
ing like wee white mice from the atten-
uated skirts of their evening attire, the
Misses Luella Cotter and Olive Arthur,
bound for Omaha from Minneapolis,
stopped the Minneapolis and ST. Louis
flyer as it was spinning on its way to
Des Mones at 8 a. m. yesterday. With
tears in their eyes like the dew on
pansy and bushes that heligraphed
across their faces red as the morning
sum- the young society maidens forced
the conductor to stop the train when II
had almost reached Kalo and back all
the way to Fort Dodge in order to place
them on the Omaha sleeper which con-
tanned the remaining portion of their
wardrobe.
The girls came near being carried to
Des Moines wearing nothing but the
daintiest of snowy but attenuated dis
habille, having locked themselves in the
toilet room of the st. Louis sleeper just
as their own car, the Omaha sleeper
west bound train at Fort Dodge.
1t was only with sobs and gasps that
one of the young ladies could bring her
self to summon the porter and have him
stop the train. The porter himself was
so frightened that he is alleged to have
turned black in the face.
The conductor of the fast overland
train at first declined to run back, but
faced by the enhancing virgins and
confronted with summary of the dire
calamities that would occur If the girls
were brought to Des Moines and put
off the train with hardly enough cloth
ing to wad small pop gun, he relented
and backed into FIT. Dodge. The train
arrived at the union station just as the
Illinois Central passenger started for
Omaha. The train was tagged and the
two sleepers backed close together.
! Thru the hidden confines Of the yes
tibules the two young ladies then slip
ped to their own berths in the Omaha
sleeper.
They were described by the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis trainmen as pretty
girls, about is years of age.
The story they told of their predica-
ment was that, arising to perform
early morning additions, they had
found the toilet compartment in their
sleeper locked They therefore went
into the car beyond. The Omaha sleep
err from Minneapolis is set off by the
Minneapolis & st. Louis train at TT.
Dodge and taken up by the Illinois
Central. When this was done the
young ladies failed to take notice, not
knowing that they had been started
for Des Moines on the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis until they started back for
their own sleeper and found it was
gone. AS the affair happened at 5
o'clock in the morning the girls were
not embarrassed by a crowd of sight
seers.
