CUT OFF OWN LEG WITH KNIFE.
Man With RemarkabIe1 Record Is
Buried at CLAY Center

Clay Center, Kan, April 22.-Lean-
der M. Trowbridge, who was buried
Wednesday, has soldier record that
was extraordinary He was member
of Company F, Sixth West Virginia
infantry, and saw service that required
a quality of endurance and daring
scarcely excelled. After three years
of service he was on his way to Wheel
ing to be mustered out. There was
collision and his train was wrecked.
He found himself thrown against a
stove with his leg crushed below the
knee. A heavy timber held him fast
He was severely burned, but crowding
his overcoat between himself and the
stove he got out his pocket knife and
cut off the broken leg, bound up the
stump with a handkerchief and stop
ped the flow of blood. Then he helped
two other injured people out through
a hole in the wreckage and crawled
out himself. He lay from o'clock in
the morning till 8 in the forenoon
without medical aid. He was for
eighty days in a hospital to which he
was taken and several amputations
were necessary because of gangrene
setting in.

Attorney General.

Guthrie, Okla, April 22.-That the
Santa Fe railroad will commence
work soon in giving the Denver.
Enid & Gulf road a thorough bal
lasting preparatory to the handling of
the heavy freight traffic over that

New Meter Service on e, p, Will
Not Reach Topeka.
Interurban Connections Be.
tween nc. and Lawrence.
FOR BONNER SPRINGS
Plan to Utilize Trolley Line Now
Running Through City.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

II would seem from the announce
ments recently made by Union Pacific
ofhclals that the interurban motor
service which was rumored a short
time ago would reach Topeka is to
extend no further west than Law
renee
H. G. Kali, assistant general freight
and passenger agent of the Union Pa
cific at Kansas City is out with an an
nouncement that the officials of the
road are considering the inauguration
of an interurban passenger service
between Kansas City, Bonner Springs
and Lawrence. The plan contempIates
the operation of motor cars of the
pattern now in use by the Union Pa
cific out of Denver and Omaha.
RumorS of the interurban motor
service have been rife for some time
and it was generally supposed that the
service would extend west to Topeka
on account of the Onaga line. This
rumor. which is the first official in
formation on the subject, would seem
to preclude any such favors for To-
peka.
The Union Pacific has thirty-eight
gasoline motor cars in service on it's
numerous branch lines. One of these
cars is being operated between
LeavenwOrth and Lawrence and
dill u the passenger DuSl0 eSS
and acts as a feeder for the main line
trains.
From Mr.. Kaill's announcement it
would appear that the motor service
would be inaugurated primarily for
the benefit of Bonner Springs, which
is now under new management and
which promises to blossom into a
health resort more prominent than
any other in this section of the
country. There is a small trolley line
which now runs from the Lake of the
Woods through Bonner Springs to
Forest Lake. AS near as can be
learned the proposition is to connect
this line with the Union Pacific at
Forest Lake, which is one-half miles
west of Edwardsville. This arrange
ment would give the Union Pacific
motor cars an entrance to Bonner
Springs and would also carry passen-
gers to both of the famous lakes, and
the chautauqua grounds where a new
$4,000 hotel is now being built
Bonner Springs is but twenty-three
miles from Kansas City, and with
hourly connection Bonner Springs
would grow. The Union Pacific sta
ton is located some little distance
from the city proper. With this SER
vice, Lawrence would be feasible as
a western terminal for the motor SER
vice, and for thistreaso the line of
motor traffic will probably extend to
the Douglas metropolis.

5000 tons. 500 tons of which is for
the northern end and Wichita yards
tracks; the rest for the Sweetwater
extension, about seventy-six miles to
San Angelo. The invoice due today
will lay about nine miles of track
1t is expected now the first ship
ment is here, that from now on the
rails will be kept coming this way
rapidly. as fast as the mills can turn
out the order, and that the gap down
there will be completed and trains
running by September 1.
1t is expected that San Angelo will
have a great boom. 1t is now $4,000
population and only needs direct con-
nection with Wichita to make it
flourish. This will likewise result in
huge increase in Wichita business in
that section as San Angelo is the
great distributing point for all west
Texas. They annually ship out 5000
cars of cattle for eastern markets.

UPHELD NINE HOUR LAW.
Judge Lands Decides in Test Case
AGAINST the Santa Ee.

Chicago, April 22.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court here
in the test case against the Santa Fe
road in the nine hour law governing
telegraphers upheld the law.
The contention between the govern
ment and the railroads is as to what
the law means. The Santa Fe en-
ployed two operators who by the ex-
pedient of three hour rest in the
midst of IL hour tricks, really per-
formed actual labor only nine hours
each day.
The government alleges that this
constituted a violation of the law
Judge lands admitted that the con-
struction of the statute was open to
question and by agreement of counsel
the defendant was allowed to plead
guilty and was fined 800. The de-
cision will be appealed as the case is
the first one started under the "hours

BUSY AT AUGUSTA.
Santa Fe is Planning Many I'm
prOvementS.

Augusta, Kan, April 22.-The Santa
Fe yards will be busy place, the
coming year. The improvements con-
templated are many and will be put
in as fast as the Santa Fe officials
can get to them in the regular
routine.
The first improvement will be the
installation of a coal chute. Five adj
ditiona1 tracks will be put in. There
will be two main lines, two passing
tracks and two storage tracks. The
water tank will be enlarged, and last,
but by no means least, a new and
modern depot will be put in. These
facts were brought out by the re-
quest of Bird Middleton for a site for
an ice warehouse on the Santa Fe
track BY it's geographical location,
Augusta is bound to be an important
station on the Santa Fe system.

to reports received here from farmers
