| their destination being Waco. The
woman was handsome. with two
pretty baby girh The trip had been
one OF pleasure. and all had gone
well until they reached Texarkana
There they boarded 4 Cotton Belt
train for Waco. On this train the
brakeman In charge was attracted
by The beauty and charms OF the
pretty woman. He kept up his smil-
Ing and attention until the train
reached Mount Pleasant
At this place he had made his
plans 10 allure the woman from her
husband. To do this he had to bring
deception into play. When the train
was signaled to leave Mount Pleas
ant the brakeman went to the hus-
band and Informed him that their
baggage had been wrongly checked
and 1t would be necessary for the
man to consult the baggagemaster
at Mount Pleasant or the baggage
would be left. Not suspecting any
deceit, the husband alighted from the
train as it was pulling out from the
depot, and the train left him at Mt
Pleasant.
The little woman was chagrined to
learn that her husband had been
left, but was consoled by the brake
man by being told by him mat she
would be carefully looked after and
that j, would be necessary for her
to get off at Tyler and wait for her
husband, who would arrive that
night and would necessarily have to
stop at this place.
Tyler was the destination of the
brakeman, being the end of the di-
vision. On their arrival here he infor-
med the woman that he lived in the
city and would take her out to his
hotel. In accordance with this state
ment he procured carriage and
went with her to a boarding house.
On arriving there he told the young
woman that he did not live there,
but took his meals at that place and
would return about supper time. He
-then left and went up town.
During the afternoon the woman
| who had been the victim of the
! brak as she had
| been induced to stop at Tyler--told
the landlady her story and was then
/ informed that the brakeman did not
| take his meals there. The affair was
reported to the trainmen's orders OF
the city and representatives from
! those organizations went to consult
| with the lady the next morning and
got the story.
Shortly after nightfall the brake
man returned to the boarding house,
but he was made TO leave with
threats of reporting him to the Off
GERS.
During the night the husband went
on through to Waco, not knowing
that his wife had been decoyed from
the train at Tyler.
The woman claimed that the
brakeman had promised to meet her
husband at the train and inform him
as to her whereabouts, but this he
failed to do. When the husband ar
rived in Waco and met friends who
were to meet the family at the depot
he was greatly alarmed on finding
that his wife had not arrived. No in
formation of her whereabouts was re-
ceiyed until the next day about noon.
after tn. railroad organizations at
this place had taken the matter mp.
II is claimed that the trainmen at
this place were wrought up over the
action of the brakeman and there
was talk of violence for several days.
The proper railroad officials took
the matter under consideration and
~ once discharged the brakeman
with The winning smile.
