The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-03-08
S are taking no risks,


though and his steps are followed and guard-
ed by the secret police, who on the slightest
indication OF an accident, would appear in the
guise of beggars, street merchants, passersby
1t is when he goes on the railroad that the
risks are greater. There is no simple sending
his secretary to get ticket and book seats.
No. The whole railroad system over which he
is to travel has to be mentally reviewed. The
officials have to be called to a conference with
the minister In charge, when the route is ar
ranged, the time table fixed and then the tele-
graph gets busy. The special train is prepared
and steam is kept up ready to start at any
minute. Word is sent ahead to the garrisons
along the line and the sodiery have to be pre-
pared to take positions along each side of the
line at distance of very few yards. Station
masters are warned and the whole plan Is alb
solutely perfect. But one thing is wanting, the
exact day and hour of the journey. That is
known only to the car and one or two in his
complete confidence. Once his mind Is made
I'D his train leaves and word Is passed on
lust ahead of IT, pilot engine with carriages
Is run a short time In front, and no one knows
whether the car is on the pilot train or the
train behind but both trains are impart1ally
saluted Any person found lurking IN the VI
cinity of the railroad Is liable to be shot, for
It is not once, but many times that the secret
kept so closely has leaked out by some I'M
known channel, and the rails have been under
mined bridges have been partially destroyed,
and all kinds of internal machines deposited
on the track, timed to explode at the exact mo
ment of the passage Of the train.
1t Is the same whenever the car travels
his presence in foreign town Is always de-
noted by the number OF apparently CASUAL Wis
itors of Russian appearance.
