Great Railroad Career.

And there began career that has
but few parallels in the history of rail
reading. While at Abba he drew upon
himself the notice of his superiors by
the manner in which he guarded the
interests of the company when an i'm
migrant train was wrecked near his
station. Although he really had no
authority in such matters he went to
work with great promptness, cared
for the wounded and the dead, and
settled on the spot all claims against
the company for damages. The &C.
ton OF the young agent gained the
prompt approval of Superintendent
Charles E. Perkins, and Mr.. Potter
was promoted to the office of chief
clerk in the roadmaster's department.
He remained in that position until
1873, and then promotion followed pro-
motion until in 1884 he became first
vice president and general manager
OF the road, portion of which he had
helped survey as an humble assistant
to civil engineer. In the spring of
1887 Mr. Potter accepted very flatter-
ing proposition and became the vice
president and general manager of the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Railway
and Transportation companies, and in
enc year he had worked marvellous
improve ment in the properly under
his charge. But the task proved to be
his undoing. His health broke down.
under the terrific strain, and on March
9, 1888, he passed away at Washington.
D. G. He was one unspoiled by sue
cess, and his meteoric career won for
him new friends everywhere. while
all his old trends gloried in his sue
cess, and he never forgot the humblest
of the men whom he had known when
he was at the bottom of the ladder.
He was always Tom Potter to them,
and he was always glad to see them,
and to do for them if need be.

The Potter Family.
Thomas J.. Potter was one Of the
foremost railroad men of this country.
He was born in Carroll county, o.,
August 16, 1910, and like many of the
really successful men of this country
he passed his youth on farm. In
1853 he came to Iowa with his parents
where his father engaged in the hotel
business in Ottumwa. In 1862 Tom
Potter engaged with surveying party
which laid out the Burlington & Mis-
souri, River road from Ottumwa to
Council Bluffs. But in January, 1863,
he went where duty called SO many of
Iowa's sons, and enlisted in the
Seventh cavalry as a private. When
he was discharged in 1866 he had
risen to the rank Of captain. The r.s-
giment was not sent south, but to 1t
fell the no less ardols and dangerous
duty Of guarding the state line, which
carried the mail to the Pacific coast.
After having been in the service but a
few months, Mr.. otter obtained a

Miss Urdillia Jane Wood of Ottumwa,
a defendant OF good revolutionary
stock. Immediately after the wedding
Mr.. Potter returned to the front. ac-
companied by his young wife, who
shared the hardships and trials and
dangers of that wild hard life with
the man she loved as she did the sue
cesses of his later years. And she
remained with her husband at the
front until in 1866 Captain Tom Potter
received his honorable discharge. In
1867 he became station agent for the

immigration in self defense, especially
as laborers are needed to harvest the
sugar crop.
There Is much cattle stealing in
Camaguey. One owner, foreigner.
says his cattle are stolen when on his
own land, but when he sends them to
pasture on land owned by Cubans, they
are not touched. 1t is estimated 1000
head of cattle were stolen last year.
The stealing was checked by rural
guards, but it has broken out again
since the revolution.
