ne would stop when and where he
pleased and that, too, without any ref
erence to orders from the conductor,
Whom he did not regard as his superior
III the management of the train. The
aIIercation grew very heated and Wolf
invited the engineer from the cab to
settle the matter. and the challenge
was quickly accepted.
Passengers and a group OF men who
had gathered at the station to see the
tram come in formed a ring about the
compatants, but the fight did nor last
long, as Wolf proved by far the SUI
perlor artist with his fists and with
few blows made it almost impossible
for the engineer to see sumciently to
compete his run, but Fogg admitted
that he had been fairly beaten, and the
supremacy Of the conductor on train
was settled for all time
AS the log signal was crude and in
effective, Wolf devised the use of a
bell OF he locomotive, and this method
was soon adopted by all Of the Amer
lean railroads. Then a code Of sig
mas was adopted, and these remain
practically to this day. The only
change in the bell cord is that by use
OF the air from the brake System a
whistle has superseded the bell in the
