The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-02-20
RAN INTO ARIZONA
RAILROAD CREW THAT DEFlED
UNCLE SAM.
For the Pure Fun of 1t, Reckless Con-
struction Men Steamed Across
State Line Despite Govern
ment's Order.

The first train which ran into Arizo-
so, il ran into that territory during
the night time. with great care not to
make unnecessary noise and in doing
SO passed Fort Yuma and it's garrison
of one commissioned officer and a pri-
vate, who had been on watch for days
to see the Southern Pacific was kept
from doing just what was done that
night by crew of construction &len.
of which William J. Weeks of Butte,
Mont, former president of the Butte
Miners union and a pioneer of Arizo-
ma, was one. He rode in the engine.
The Southern Pacific, building east
through Southern California, arrived
at the Colorado, which formed the
border line between California
and Arizona. On the Arizona side
was Fort Yuma, United States mill
tary post. The Colorado was to be
bridged and the construction gangs
worked early and late to finish it. 1t
was a draw bridge.
The government and the Southern
Pacific had locked horns over some
trifling matter and the commissioned
officer, who formed one-half the nu-
mercial force at Fort Yuma was under
orders not to let trains run across the
bridge into Arizona. He could not
stop them building to or laying track
into the territory, but he could pre-
vent them running a train, and he did.
+ You can imagine the reStlessness
of camp of railway construction men
who had been forbidden to cross the
river with train,' said Mr.. Weeks.
"The bridge was there, track was
there beyond, but there was nothing
doing in the way of advancement, ow-
ing to the orders of the officer in COM
mand of the one man garrison, who, of
course, had received. his instruction
from Washington.
I'VE stood it as long as we could,
and finally made arrangements to go
anyhow. We waited until about three
o'clock in the morning. The locomo-
tive was kept in readiness with two
fiat cars ahead of it. At the designat-
ed time the men scrambled upon the
fiat cars and we crossed the river and
steamed into Arizona Every one kept
quiet, as prearranged, until We had
passed the post.
'"Then the train stopped and the en-
| CINE whistled itself out The engineer
| tied the whistle open and for half an
hour it blew and blew and blew OF
| course, the noise of the locomotives
| screech and the yelling of the men
which followed it awakened the off
Ger and his man. He dressed and
came out to where we were and or
dered us back across the river.
1--WE had had our fun and were per-
| fectly willing to go. After we had
crossed the river the lieutenant
opened the draw SO we couldn't come
back and went back to bed, but we
had the pleasure of being passengers
on the first train that ever ran into
Arizona, and I rode on the engine. The
trouble between the railroad and the
government cit had to do with cross
ing the military reseIvation) was soon
fixed up and the work was pushed into
Arizona, and l believe the east and
| west gangs met some time during
1878. 1 was not with them regularly
however, during that year.

Hunting on a Locomotive.

Engineer Cain Lynn, who pulls one
of the freight trains for the G. & N.
w. railroad, caught big 'possum near
Delphos recently. While running along
at a leisurely pace he saw ahead of
him what looked like a shoat.
He blew his whistle while his fire.
man rang the bell, but the supposed
shoat did not move, and not caring to
put his road to the expense of paying
for fine stock pig from the Biltmore
estate he brought his engine to stop,
after which he and his fireman went
out to drive the porker off the track.
They caught it with little difficulty.
1t turned out to be a 'possum that
weighed 26 pounds.-Yorkville En-
quirer

Not many years ago any sort of
building was thought suited for a cigar
factory. A hot attic or damp base
ment was as likely to be selected as
any other place. Now. greater
thought and attention has been given
to the matter and the best sanitary
conditions surround every process OF
manufacture in modern up-to-date
plants like the Pepperberg Factory.
This manufactures has a bright, airy
and clean factory which employs no
small number of people. Here thou
sands of cigars are made during the
year and distributed in Lincoln and
Nebraska. Their cigars are a pro-
nounced success, and they are enjoy
ing a large sale. which is increasing
more and more. Careful supervision
in their plant; and the finest of work
manship is responsible for this. No
details are overlooked that will make
the cigars better. They will not toll
crate any letting down of the quality,
and the man who smokes their cigars
may be sure that the quality will be
maintained and steadily improved.
Every loyal citizen of Lincoln, who
has the interest of this community at
heart, should be booster and demand
this firms product in preference to
outside factories The product of this
factory bears the union label and
union men and all good citizens will
make no mistake when they buy Pep
perberg's Buds" They are handled
by all first-class dealers.

eurkett Wishes Maeoon Named.

The suggestion that President-Elect
Taft intends to make Jacob McGavock
Dickinson of Chicago and Nashville
his secretary of war. is arousing
great deal OF opposition to this APP
pointment.
Dickinson is attorney for the Hi
nois Central railroad but it is not this
that is causing the unfavorable COM
ment so much as the fact that he is
an ex-Confederate. Grand Army posts
throughout the country view the pro-
posed selection with much displeasure,
and they are sending Taft vigorous
protests.
Senator Burkett of Nebraska is also
organizing q strong movement among
a number OF his western colleagues IN
favor of the appointment as secretary
of war of Charles Z. Nlagoon of Ne
braska, former governor of the Pan
anna canal zone and lately provisional
governor of Cuba.

ticed a person trying to flag his train

from Mayer, three miles, to get him

Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That is in respect to the
power of the federal courts to issue in
functions in industrial disputes. As
to that. my convictions are fixed. Take
away from the courts. If il could be
taken away, the power to issue in
functions in labor disputes. and It
would create a privileged class among
the laborers and save the lawless
among their number from n most need
ful remedy available to all men for
the protection of their business against
lawless invasion. The proposition
that business Is not property or pc.
cuniary right which can be protected
by equitable Injunction is utterly
without foundation in precedent or
reason. The proposition is usually
linked with one to make the second.
ary boycott lawful. Such a proposi.
tion Is at variance with the American
instinct and will find no support in
my judgment when submitted to the
American people. The secondary boy.
colt is an instrument of tyranny, and
ought not to be made legitimate.
The issuing Of a temporary restrain.
ing order without notice has in sew.
eral instances been abused by its in.
considerate exercise, and to remedy
this, the platform upon which I was
elected recommends the formulation in
a statute of the conditions under
which such temporary restraining
order ought to issue. A statute can
and ought to be framed to embody the
best modern practice. and can brina
