The Brotherhood of Loco

to have as its general counsel a

engine driver. He is James r.
Howe of Galesburg, Illinois,
since 1883 an engineer on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
on which road he has held
some ofithe fastest and best
runs. In June, 1890, he was
admitted to the practice in the
state and federal courts and
since then has made a special

laws. AS general counsel of

it looked for a while as though
they would have trouble in
saving their house. The War

and probably cost $500 when
built. Both buildings were
empty.
