Station of South McCook, Monday.
A daughter was born to Conductor
and Mrs. G. E. Denton, last Friday.
Engine 27O2 was given some new
fues, this week, and is ready for business
again.
The company could use a dozen more
engines on this division, just now, if
they had them.
Storekeeper and Mrs. G. W. Britt ar.

chief d~ispatcher's Office spent Sunday

Conductor G. L. Miller was on Mon
day relieved from further service for the
company on account of his interest in
the Schramm wreck of a few weeks ago.
A freight train that left Hastings,
Monday morning at 7 o'clock, got into
McCook, Wednesday afternoon at APO,
without a hot box, so the v~eracious &C
count runs.
A. J. VanCamp. who resigned his po-
sition in the local telegraph Office some
time ago, is working in the relay Office
at Lincoln. Roswell Cutler succeeded
him here.
The following boilermakers from
Horton, Kansas, started to work for the
company here, this week: John Anwyl,
G. Stansberger, S. E. Bradley and Ed
ward Scott.
The switch engine and two road en-
gines got mixed up in the yard at
Brush, rear end of last week, and the
trio are the worse for the encounter and
shopped for repairs.
J. o. Macarthur, successor to Heating
as head of the boilermakers, will have
his family move here from Horton,
Kansas, as soon as he is able to secure
board and room in some private family
if possible.
Engine 291O and 145 are in for an
overhauling. No. 372 is about ready to
go out of the backshop. Engine 1859,
the Denver switch engine is down on
her wheels and will shortly go back into
the yard service.
Brakeman w. B. Craven sustained a
painful injury at Culbertson, Tuesday.
He slipped on a sugar beet and his arm
fell between the bumpers. His elbow
and arm were quite badly pinched. An
engine and car went up from here and
brought him down for medical attention.
He was with Conductor W. T. Wilcott.
No. 3 ran into a small bunch of freight
cars in the west end of the Oxford
yard, last Saturday night. Her engine
was disabled and the box-cars were
scattered over the main line, blocking
the same for several hours and delaying
No. 3 to that extent. The cars had
been pushed out onto the main line to
let a freight train in the clear, and they
were forgotten,-with the above result.
A pair of s%uspenders will be promptly
cut for that oversight.
Machine Shop Foreman F. G. Fuller
has been transferred from McCook to
Sheridan, Wyo., where he gets a similar
position. He left for Sheridan, Wednes-
day, on No. ID, to assume his new posi-
ton with the company. The family will
follow as 500 as a home can be secured
for their reception. MI. Fuller has
made a popular and efficient foreman
for the company here, and it is with
real regret only that the boys see him
leave McCook. John D. Young succeeds
him as machine shop foreman at this
place. He is a young man of experience
and ability in that position and will
doubtless give the company and en-
ployes satisfactory service. Here's we'll
wishes for the outgoing and success to
his successor.

ception in the master mechanics Office,
