partment, chief clerk in the auditing
department and ticket auditor.
Upon the appointment of w. F. Mer-
rill as general manager of the con-
solidated Burlington lines, with head
quarters in St. Joseph. Mr.. Browne
was made chief clerk to the general
manager. He held this position dur
ing the administrations of w. F. Mer-
rilI, W. c. Brown and Howard Elliott,
under whose administration the office
of general manager was removed to
St Joseph. Mr.. Browne remained
here as representative of the general
manager until the position was abol-
ished, after which he was connected
with the auditing department
Mr.. Browne also is secretary and
treasurer of the st. Joseph Union De-
pot company, which Office he has held
ever since the St Joseph Union Depot
company was formed and he is one
of the most popular railroad men
whose home has been in ST Joseph.
He is a vestry man of Christ Episcopal
church and has been very active in the
mems society of that church, as we'll
as in other church work.
1t is doubtful if any railroad man,
or other man in st. Joseph has as
many warm friends as Ed Browne,
who has lived here nearly all his life
and who has never been engaged in
anything but railroad work. His de-
parture will be keenly regretted. al
though there will be general rejoic-
ing that he has been appointed to
so important a position in the service
of the Union Pacific. which position
he unquestionably will fill with credit
to himself and to his employers.

Charley Lewis living on the Hastings

ces under which he went is about as
follows: Mr.. Hastings believing ne nao
more horses on his place than was

WHERE is BOB osTRANDER?
His Friends Believe He Has Been
Foully Dealt With

Independence, Kan, Aug. 17.-The
many friends of Robert Ostrander are
worried over his absence from the city
since August 6. On that date he was
seen by several acquaintance driving
west and since then no word has been
received from him. and 1t Is thoughI
that he has met with foul play.
About ten days ago he and several
companions were in a resort near the
Missouri Pacific railroad and while
there he had fight with two negroes
in which he succeeded in giving them
a good beating. After the fight was
over one of the colored men said that
he was going to LAY for MIN
(Ostrander) and that he would fix
him proper"
Ostrander told of this threat to
Charles Reed, Barney Babb and one
or two other friend and said that he
was worried over it. On Sunday after
noon he told several friends that ne
was going out to that place again that
night and wanted them to go with
him, but they declined. saying that
they had something else that they
had to look after On the way out ne
met Barney Babb and asked him to
fun, as he called it, but Babb was In a
hurry to get back to the city, ana ala
not see how he could go with him.
This was the last seen of Ostrander
and last night several of his friends
decided they would inform the police
of the affair. but on inquiry at the
police headquarters this morning
nothing further could be ascertained
upon the subject. Mr. Ostrander
came here from California and had
been working in the field both as TOOL
dresser and rig builder His home is
in Prairie Depot, Ohio, and is known
in all the oil fields from Pennsylvania
to the coast. When he departed ne

in sight of them, they ran, trying TO
hide in a cornfield. But he soon round
ed them up, finding them on the very
verge of physical exhaustion. He mad
much trouble getting them to town, as
they had walked all the way and had
had no food since leaving.
After resuscitating them ne TOOK
them to Arkansas City and turned
them over to the superintendent. The

SEVEN BRAKEMEN DISCHARGED.
Santa Fe Detectives Catch Them
KNOCKING Down. Fares.

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 17.-Seven
freight brakemen in the employ of the
Santa Fe through and out of Ottawa
have received their walking papers in
the last few weeks as result of spot
ting done by a clever railroad de-
tective.
The identity of the latter is still un-
known, so quietly and effectively has
he worked, but the results of his work
show his vigilance.
In each case the brakeman was
fired for collecting and knocking
down. fares.
To those familiar with railroad af-
fairs it is an old story about the
''hobo'' who boards a freight and
when detected by a brakeman or con-
ductor goes down into his pocket and
divides his stock of money for the
privilege of continuing his journey.
Comparatively few railroad employees
accept such fares nowadays, but that
extent is proven by the "spotter" and
his work
The detective has been watching the
freight trains on the Southern Kansas
division. 1t is said that on one trip
from Garrett to Ottawa he Caught
two brakemen. Jumping on one train
he paid brakeman half a dollar,
jumped off, boarded a second and
later freight and again paid his fare
In neither case was the money turned
in and both brakemen lost their jobs.
1t is said that the detective has the
ability of a Nick Carter at Disgusting
himself and that on one occasion he
played solitaire in a back seat of the
Burlington passenger train, disguised
as a travelling man. He found nothing
wrong on this trip.

letter from No. A King St. Troy N

such symptoms Peruna should be
taken. 1t strikes the root of the dis
