Tires of the Elfleda and
Sells Tt.

The Saturday Evening Posts statis-
tics on private cars which were in
Guided in the story The Private Car
Mania" by Edward Hungerford, which
appeared IN the current number Of the
Post, are in need OF revision down
ward.-Since the story was edited and
went to press one Of the statements
made in it is In urgent need Of re-
vision. The article states that, in spite
OF the great flock OF private cars,
there are not more than 40 that are
owned by persons not connected with
the railroads. OF this number the Ell
fleda, owned by John Bunting. of San
Francisco, who is known as the mill
lionaire brakeman, is described in de-
tail.
But the EIfleda is no longer the
property Of the millionaire brakeman.
After having 1t sideswiped in a wreck
in Mexico, Bunting decided that he
was tired of his private car and after
1t had stood in the union station yards
for several days with the gaping
wound in dts off side, the car was sold
to r L. Hearon, general manager and
traffic manager of the Colorado &
Wyoming railroad, the affiliated line
Of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company.
1t was kicked out Of Is coy corner in
the station yards Friday, coupled to a
siding for it's new owner, who left for
Denver in 1t last night.
This was the passing Of the Elfleda,
the car which has been a sermon on
wheels to the brake" on the car
roof, showing to him the infinite pos
sibilities that are ahead Of him if he
does as the cars owner did. and buy oil
stock when oil is down and sell when
oil is up Bunting, who says he is a
millionaire mail clerk instead of a
millionaire brakeman, had the Elfleda
fitted up with mechanical appliances
of his own devising, many Of which
were thought out while he was In the
service. the Post says. To this car
every railroad man in the country was
welcome, according to the Posts story
OF the private car bug. and II served as
the millionaires plaything, a toy
without which John Rockefeller and
J. P Morgan managed TO exc out an
existence.
