known as "superheaters" of the "14OO
class" which have a pulling capacity
of about 5000 tons. over this division.
Thes draw trains which are too Ions
to Clear on the present passing
tracks. hence the frightening of
them is necessary. Two gravel trains
are now engaged On the work. They
have recently distributed twenty cars
of rails. fifty-two cars of ties, 10, 900
tie plates and $4,000 spikes for the
work.
The Mott branch is being ballasted
for heavy traffic, and the work on the
extension of the Stanton line Is going
on at a good pace. 1t is contemplate
ed that when the seasons work is
over. improvements in this state will
make a fine showing.

CHAPTER X.
The Three Conspirators.

BALDWIN, by nature, was pompous and pat
ID ronizing. In his capacity as political
boss, representing certain more or less ques
tionable financial interests, he distributed
political patronage with an air of one bestow
ing great favors personally. In spite of his
undoubted wealth. and his alleged political
power, Barney Baldwin was what Easy Ed
Edwards would, with the keen discrimination
of a trained gambler and student of human
nature have designated as a "four-fushing
figurehead."
Baldwns rise to riches and to a certain de-
gree of power had been strange one. He had
started life as a bartender, and had by a GER
tain selfish economy and discreet touch
ing of the till" acquired sufficient money to
purchase the saloon in which he was en-
ployed from the honest German who had
trusted him almost to the verge of bankruptcy.
Certain wealthy men and some others inter-
ested in public utilities had seen in Baldwin a
proper catspaw, and, in a small way, had used
him in politics. From that he had developed
quickly into an official collector of graft money
from disorderly houses, saloons, and places
where gambling was conducted He collected
rigidly and turned over the money, reserving
only a small and safe ''holdout for himself to
persons who were afraid to do the collecting
themselves and were willing to pay him for
the additional chances he took They, in turn
held out a share for themselves and passed
the bulk of the crime-laden coin along to the
bosses, who distributed it in order to maintain

Baldwin had become more
and more independent

learn. His share of the col
