ond junk almost under our bows, and
such of our men as were not at the
guns, assisted by the soldiers opened
fire with muskets. We got a hot fire
back. but only for a couple of min
utes. Then the big guns pumped their
shells into her, and she was simply
torn open to follow number one to the
bottom. Out of her complement of
fifty men we observed about half a
dozen clinging to the wreckage. The
third junk hung in the wind for mo-
ment and then made off to the west
ward.

When we got in the wake of the

Is SANTA FE VETERAN.
Henry III. RoeIof, Who Had First An
nual Pass, Was Here.

Henry H. Roelof, the man who pos
sesses the first annual pass the Santa
Fe railroad ever issued, was in the city
a few days last week. He now lives at
Philadelphia and is associated with his
father-iR-law. John B. Stetson, in the
hat making business.
Mr.. Roelof was in the general freight
agents office of the Santa Fe, when the
road was first operated 81 years ago, at
the time when only seventeen miles OF
the railroad was in existence
Among the associates Mr.. Roelof had
in the general freight office nearly all
have risen to positions of prominence.
But Mr. Roelof did not remain in railroad
work very long. He left it for the bus
mess of a halter. His visit here last
week was for the purpose of renewing
his acquaintance of old times and to
see again the scene of his early en-
deavors.
Upon his return home he will send
his old annual pass, the first one ever
issued by the Santa Fe, back to Mr..
Wilder. the treasurer. who will have
it framed and kept as one of the relics
of the company.

tainable eluded perfect possession. The
body consisted of number of aec1an-
isms which had the closest and most
exact relations. AS they Appropriated
TO harmony there was health, but when
dtscord came--ill health.
