in Railroad Circles.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 21.=At the in
quest into the cause of the death of
Elmer Derrick, the express messen-
ger killed in the wreck of No. II
Tuesday morning on the Santa Fe, it
developed that a boy who has been in
the county Jail a month, ostensiby on
a vagrancy charge, is being held for
Santa Fe Detective Germaine He is
said to have confessed to being con-
nected with a gang consisting of three
men and a woman, who wrecked No.
1t last May. None of the facts in his
story has been verified so far, and it
has been discovered that he was in
Ohio at the time of the wreck here,
but he is still being held in the hope
that he may have some information as
to who the wreckers are.
All of the witnesses examined, with
the exception of two boys who live
near the scene of the wreck, were
Santa Fe employees. The testimony
submitted by the witnesses made it
clear that the railway company will
endeavor to show that the disaster was
the work of train wreckers. A piece
of track was built near the court
house, and several ties and the rail
where the engine left the track were
submitted in evidence.
According to the testimony of the
railway men, all of the spikes but two
securing the rail which caused the dis
aster were pulled, the fish plates re-
moved, and the end of the rail moved
a few inches out of line by the wreck
ers. The jury adjourned until z
O. clock Thursday afternoon.

Himself in New Mexico.
Down at GIorietta. New Mexico. they
are still telling the story Of how ]. W.
Riggs of Kingman county, Kan, avert
ed a serious wreck. Mr.. Riggs IS
travelling representative of national bu-
reau of forestry and as such gets over
every nook and corner of the nation.
The incident at GIorietta happened on
one of his tours, and shows how one
mans sudden presence of mind can OF
ten be of incalculable value to his Eel
low beings.
A number of travelling men were
waiting at the Glorietta depot to board
a freight train toward Santa Fe. A
special excursion train bearing hum
dreds of people was on the stretch OF
track between there and Lama, but II
seems that rome Of those waiting knew
anything of it but Mr.. Riggs, who had
been wired from a station down the
road by some one on the special, on
whom he was waiting. Orders came
from the train dispatcher to hold the
freight until the special had passed, but
the operator was under the influence OF
liquor so that he neglected to give the
orders to the conductor and the latter
proceeded to pull out The trelgnl
started and everybody made run Tor II
but Mr.. Riggs, who knew there was
something wrong. He stood resolutely
in the center of the track and refused
to let the engineer proceed. He induced
the officials to investigate the depot tel
egraph room, where the undelivered or
ders were found, and it is said no man
ever sobered up quicker in Glorlelta
than that agent. A moment later the
special dashed up. The trains would
have met on that dangerous grade be-
yond and there is no telling what dam
age or loss of life might have been.
Railway officials on that DIVISION ana
people at Glorietta are still speaking OF
the matter with bated breath when they
consider on what a slender thread hung
the fate of hundreds. Mr.. Riggs sud
den and determined act saved the ran
road probably half a million dollars

cause he tried to put them off A few
days prior to this one of these tramps
almost killed the yaTdmaster at San Mar
cial- The matter is getting serious, and
If something isn't done by the authorities
at the different towns through which
these tramps pass, I believe that the cit
liens will form organizations and take
the matter into their own hands.
1T seems to me that all the tramps in
the United States are going over our
lines these days headed for FL Paso and
the south. The jails along the line are
full Of them, and stin we are having
trouble Many of those arrested have
been caught breaking into cars of mer-
chandfse, and will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law, but many of them
we are forced to let go, as we can not
secure sufficient evidence to convict
THE tramp question is one of the most
serious that we have had to deal with in
some time. We viii have to establish a
patrol to keep them off the trains and
when the work at the Belen cut-off is
completed and hundreds from there 90

FIVE ENGINES ON HUGE TRAIN.
One TNvo-thirds of a Mile Long in
California Hills.

san Bernardino, Cal. Dec. 21.-
About the longest train ever in this
section was that which went over the
hill from the Santa Fe yards Monday
with seventy-five cars, two cabooses
and five engines making total length
Of something like 1854 feet, as nearly
as 1t can be figured out, or just /, $50
feet less than one mile. The weight
of the train was 2 400 tons.
But the train was not made up by
design. A train had been sent UP
drawn by one engine weighing 700
tons with the dynamometer car at
tached to make tests going up the
grade to the summit. Arriving in
Terrace cut, the strain proved so
great that a dynamometer was not
needed to show that the engine had
been overtaxed. and the train stuck
right there, putting and straining, but
unable to make any Roadway Ehe
regular train, weighing 100 tons and
drawn by four of the company's big
engines came up with it, and the two
trains were made up into one on the
mountain side the trip to Summit be
ing made without further accident, but
the trainmen say they have seldom
seen a prettier sight. than that long
train winding around the curves, the

rether as though they were one.

<. Q. STUDENTS m A PLAY.
The Dramatic Club Presented Gan
American Citizen.o

Lawrence, Kan. Dec. 21-The ORA
matte club Of the University of Kan
sas presented An American Citizen
here last evening. This was the sixth
annual production of the Dramatic club
and it was a decided success. Unlike
the usual class Of student dramatics, the
dialogue was smooth, the characters
were never stiff. the heavier scenes were
natural and the climaxes wood.
Mr.. Harry Campbell of Wichita and
Miss Maud Olander of Kansas City car
ried the leading parts well. Scion Smith
OK StocktOu as Barbury handled cleverly
the most difficult character IN the cast.
Frank Ellis Of Kansas City was good as
Sir Humphrey Bum ana fred Wulfe-
kuhler of LeavenWorth carried nicely
the difficult dialect part of Otto Stree
bel. The work of Miss Nina Fell of
COncordia as Georgia Chaplin was ap-
preciated. Miss Clara Carr OF Leaven-
worth was good as Lady Bum. Eu-
STAGE Smith of Kinsley was a clever
butler. Master Paul Haworth, son Of
Prof. z. Haworth, did wen his part Of
Mercury. Prof. E. G. Frazier directed
the play.
All the leading parts were this year
taken by prominent fraternity students
and nearly every frat had a Zine
party" at the performance. All the good
seats were sold two hours after the
sale opened and early in the evening
standing room was sold.
