Hale would be worth at least this

CHILD TAKES
TRIP TO ALBA
MISUNDERSTANDl between
PULLMAN CONDUCTOR AND
PASSENGERS DELAY TRIP.

Restored to her mothers embracing
arms and feeling the maternal kiss
was the happy conclusion Of an unus
ual experience Of little Luelma Nef1

her parents and little sister and car
ried her to Abba. Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.
Neff Of Hedrick, parents of the little
girl, were at the union depot this
morning preparatory to boarding Bur.
lington No. and going to San Diego,
Cal, to spend the winter. A misun.
derstanding between the Pullman car
conductor and the tourists in connec
ton with some reservations made by
the Neffs last Saturday resulted in
only little Luelma safely boarding the
train, and before the misunderstood
ing could be Strengthened out the train
pulled out of the station and left the
frantic parents with their other
daughter, Miss Florence, behind on
the platform. A telegram was i'm
mediately sent to Abba, and little
Luelma was again united with her par.
ents and sister when she returned on
Burlington No. ITS at 11:15 a. m.
In explaining the matter, Mr.. Nef
said that he had secured reservations
on this mornings train, No. 8, fol
himself, wife and two children, from
Ottumwa to San Diego, but that the
Pullman conductor failed to locate
their names on his list of reservations
until too late for the entire party to
board the train. The misunderstood
ing will necessitate the Neff family re
naming here until tomorrow morn
ing, when they will depart on the trip
to the west.
