FIRST WRECK IN 80 YEARS.
Joe Cadden's Record No Longer Is
Absolutely Clean.

Salina, Kan, Aug 23.-Engineer
Joe Cadden's remarkable ''wreckless''
career is broken-broken after thirty
years Of railro&ding without a mishap
of any kind.
Joe gladden. is one of the best known
railroad men in the state. He pulls
the Solomon branch train from Solo
mon to Beloit where he lives.
For ten years lengthy stories of Mr..
Cadden's remarkable career have oc-
cupied much space in the papers. First
twenty, then twenty-five. then thirty
years at the throttle on an engine
without nishap Of any kind. No
other railroad man in the state, I'M
doubtedly, can boast such a record.
And, until last year Mr.. Cadden's
engine had never taken a human life.
But a farmer drove onto the track
ahead of the train. Bushes and
hedges obscured the view The train
hit the buggy and the farmer was
killed. 1t is said that Mr.. gladden. cried
like a child at this first death by his
train.
But the wreck record remained
clear until a few days ago Then 1t
was that Mr. gladden. was engineer of
a special taking a load of people to
Delphos. Soft tracks, caused by the
heavy rains, spread the rails and the
engine went off, and with it the first
coach.
Mr.. gladden. and the fireman had a
narrow escape, but both were unin-
jured. But the little wreck ends Joe
Cadden's remarkable "wreckless" ca
reer of thirty years.

OLD TALK is REVIVED

Upton, Aug. 23.-Tipton wants a rail-
road, and the people in the vicinity
will pay good price to obtain a rail-
road outlet. The nearest railroad to
Upton is the Missouri Pacific to the
north, IA miles. Both the Santa Fe.
the Union Pacific and the Rock Island
are farther away.
The Salina, Upton & Northwestern
railroad. was chartered in 1905 and a
preliminary survey was made, Upton
putting up $1,000 in cash to help out the
survey. Soon after the completion of
this survey another gang of railroad
promoters appeared on the scene and
made the Upton people another
straw" proposition. This time the
name was changed slightly to the Sa-
lima & Northern road, but nothing was
done with this proposition. Upton peo-
pie told the straw railroad promoters
that they wanted I company to plan
in earnest. Then they would subscribe
literally in cash and bonds to build the
road.
At another time an electric line was
proposed to run between Upton and
Cawker City. 1t looked for time as
if the promoters meant business. AS
usual it fell through.
Now comes Hal w. Neiswanger of
lima. Upton & Northwestern project is
being revived. I'm company with Hugh
Palmer of Montreal. Canada, they have
been over the proposed route as far as
Salina, and they find the people are
taking interest in the matter.
The Upton country deserves a rail-
road; they raise excellent crops in this
section of the country, and they haul
them for shipment to Cawker City, IA
miles; Downs, Is miles, and Osborne,
20 miles.
Upton is in Mitchell county. 1t is
surrounded by a country unsurpassed
in fertility for agricultural pursuits.
1t is one of the oldest settlements in the
country, settled principally by Ger
mans, many of them living on Easy
street" The rest of them are getting
there at a lively gait They deserve
railroad outlet and are willing to dig
down in their pocketbooks to get 1t.
