Mr.. Jewell was born in Topeka "A
years ago. He received his education
there and began his business life in the
employ of the Santa F'e railroad. Later
he was with the Rock Island and in
the early nineties while he was en-
played as a train dispatcher with the
Rock Island he discovered what he
thought was a method of bringing rain
to drouth stricken districts. The Rock
Island had faith enough in Mr.. Jewell
and his scheme to fit out a car with a
funnel shaped stack through the top of
which certain gases were let which
we're supposed to assemble moisture in
in the heavens and precipitate it. For
two or three seasons Mr.. Jewell did
little else than operate this car and
ed. However, it earned Mr. Jewell fame
the rainmaker." For the last seven
years he has been with the Missouri
Pacific at Coffeyville.
He was well known in lodge circles

REAL RAILROAD WAR ON.
Dynamite Used by Hill Forces to Scare
Hartman Men Aaway.

Portland, Ore. April 12-The ore
gonian says that on Monday the Hill
and Hartman forces met in a serious
clash near LaCamas. According to the
version Of the Columbia Valley rail-
road men, they stole a march on their
opponents, the Portland & Seattle rail-
road forces. and occupied a deep cut
near LaCamas where they began dig
ging to lower the Portland & Seattle
grade.
The article goes on to say that in
order to brighten away the Hartman
forces the Portland & Seattle graders
dropped dynamite into the cut The
first few sticks, it states. were not
lighted. Then several came down with
lighted fuses which were promptly
pulled out by Chief Engineer wise.
Seeing that their ruse did not frfrhten
away the Hartman graders, the Hill
forces are alleged to have dropped
down some sticks with such short fuses
that it was foolhardy to try and pull
them out and both crews of railroad
ers ran away leaving the dynamite to
explode harmlessly. The Portland &
Sea tile officials deny any knowledge of
dynamite throwing by their construc-
ton gangs

ton that there will be 9. maximum fare of
S25 from Chicago and a ma ximum fare of

in Chicago were to the effect that the
Rock Island had announced it was going
to run homeseeker excursions each week
instead of bi-mOnthly and that it was like
~ the other roads tapping the southwest
would follow suit
These reports seem to have been incor-
rect in view of the information received
by Mr.. Cornell
At the Rock Island offices this morning
it was stated that the understanding there
was to the effect that weekly homeseek-
er excursions would be established on that
road. but that no Official circular had been

It is safe to say that a bunch of finer
Indian ponies has not been gathered
together for some time. The twelve
ponies represent a value of close to
$1,000. and great deal of effort and
time was expended in gathering them
together. The ponies will be used for
the children who come out to spend the
