of tactics in the military sense,
was the great Theban general, Epami-

Leuctra, B. C. 371, fought between
the Thebans and Spartans, for TIE
first time introduced the scientific
mode of fighting. Prior to that time

that of the Caion.

That OF the Cajon.
The feat was in the nature of
an experiment and it was with
some misgiving that the officials
took off the regular engine at
San Bernardino and coupled on
the 1900 for the trip from this
city, over the "hill", and to Bar
stow. The regular engine was
sent out following the limited to
sategard against the 1900 stall
ing or breaking down on the
heavy pull between Cajon and

Althoug % minutes were lost
between Sau Bernardino and
Summit, Is minutes of this time
was made up and the limited
was taken into Barstow with
only 13 minutes lost on the sche-
dule between this city and the
northern terminus of the division.
Engineer Marley was in charge
of the engine, but several officials
also accompanied it, including

gine from Topeka to Needles
