Bale Waggener, the Missouri Pacific

stories as follows:
lone time there was Kansas man
took a sleeper on the Branch at Atch-

went to sleep his car was shunted on
to a siding and it staid there all night
because of waShout up the road
The next morning that man sat on
the side of his berth with his heels
hanging down and told the porter
tale of woe about how he had been
thrown all over his berth that night
by the pitching of the car as it rocked
over the rough track like a ship in
storm. He swore that his head had
been battered into pulp against the
walls and that he had saved his life
many times by holding on to the sides
with a desperate grip.
When the porter called his atten-
ton to the fact that the car had been
stationary all night on a siding the
man was up against it. but he was
resident in the Central Branch ter
ritory and he was equal to the emer-
gency. Said he: Well, I must have
had a bad nightmare. then, caused by
thoughts of previous trips over the

not present at this most important
meeting. Only Frank Ryan of Leav-
enworth represented the board.
