Uncle Sans Mail Ground
Under Wheels of
Santa Fe Train


and free delivery of mail matter
was performed here by mail train
No. Z last Friday noon. We
have heard of passenger trains
taking water while running at
full speed, but the idea of mail
train undertaking to distribute a
sack of U. S. mail to a star
tied population while passing
through a town at a forty-mile
gait never occurred to us before.
The distribution was perfect
as far as it went-and it seemed
to go far enough too, from the
water tank to the stockyards,
but heretofore we had gotten in
to the habit of calling at the post
office for mail and this sudden
innovation of the Santa Fe mail
service was a little puzzling at
first. To the little knot of citi-
zens gathered at the station as
the train whizzed past it had the
appearance of an Uncle Toms
Cabin Snowstorm consisting of
a cloud of white bits of paper,
but upon closer investigation it
proved to be, or3rather had been,
a sack of mail matter destined
to Fort Apache, which when
kicked out of the mail car of the
rapidly moving train was by the
suction drawn under the wheels.
The pouch and contents were
instantly torn to shreds and
strewn more than a. hundred
yards along the track.
Most of the matter in this par
ticular pouch seemed to have
been newspapers and periodicals
but several pieces Of letters and
envelopes were picked up with
portions of the address still dis
tinguishable, which indicated
that there had also been letter
mail in the bag. A few parcels,
letters, and papers were unbro-
ken but all were more or less
damaged. The scraps and bits
of mail matter were carefully
picked up and a list of the dam
aged and soiled letters and par
GELS was prepared by the post
master together with a state
ment of the cause, signed by doz-
ems of eye-witnesses. This list
and statement has been forward
ed to the Santa Fe headquarters
at Los Angeles. An effort will
be made to have a law enacted
during the present session of the
Legislature to compel all mail
trains to stop at least three min
utes at all county seats through
which they pass.

considerable interest in the topic was

his theme.
