ductors should be very careful what
they do. A short time ago a traveller at
Monticello happened to have his trunks
left by conductor of the way fir eight
that leaves at 1890 over the c.. M. &
st. p. and put in a claim for S25 dam
ages. Now those who know the con-
dllctor who runs the train, can say
truthfully that no more accommod dating
railroad employee can be found on that
division, as he will at any and all
times go out of his way to help out
the boys. The claim is likely to cost
the conductor his job, but from what

would be hard blow to us all. just on
account of one of our number not hav-
ing the use of his trunks for four
hours.
