ROAD TO NOWHERE
Mysterious Old Man With
Mule and Scraper.
Right Of Ways Are Bought As
Fast As the Work
Progresses.

Dodge City, Kan, Sept. 17.-Out on
the prairie to the northwest Is being
built the strangest railroad in Am
erica. One man is building it all by
himsS T, and it runs from nowhere to
nowhere.
| Rudolph Meyer is the promoter.
president. purchasing agent, civil
engineer, superintendent, construc-
tion boss, crew. mule skinner and
water boy.
There are no trains running yet.
There isn't even any track laid. But
there are five miles Of perfectly good
grade ready for the ties and rails,
and there will be more of 1t as long
as Meyers money. mules and strength
last. What the purpose Is nobody
knows but Meyer. and he won't tell.
In the spring Of 1908 this old Ger
man appeared In the Spring Creek
Valley. north Of the Hodgman County
line. and asked a farmer to sell him
a strip of land for a railroad right Of
way. He declared that he was the
sole builder of the line and was not
backed by any railroad company.
The wondering farmer sold him the
land and he started to work with a
team of mules, a wagon and one
scraper. In a year or so. he finished
the grade on the strip he had bought
and purchased more land from the
neighboring farm to continue his line
Year after year he has toiled on.
pushing ahead with his leveling, cut
ting and filling, absolutely alone.
with his single mule team and scrape
and whenever he has reached the end
of his right of way he has demand
ed the next strip of land and paid
the price.
1t is a tremendous job that this
man has tackled sing.e-handed. One
,,f his fills is 70 feet high-a great
dixie of dirt hauled into place slowly,
month after month. a little scraper-
full at a time. Just ahead Of him Is
another deep depression to fill up,
and beyond that rises high hill tina
has to be cut thru.
That's all right" says Meyer. "It's
level further on"
When asked why he chose this To-
cation for railroad. he answers. "Ot
tjust picked out an easy place to
build one"
The roadbed runs In a northeast
erly direction. and IL 1t were being
built in the usual way. by railroad
men, the purpose would seem to be
the connection of Dodge City, sew
eral miles to the southwest, with
Jetmore, a village to the northeast
The Santa Fe has a branch to Jet
more, running west from Great Bend,
and this connection would make a
loop with the main line. But Meyer
declares he has nothing at all to do
with the Santa Fe and his peculiar
methods seem to bear him out.
He lives alone i'm little cook
shack, which he moves along as the
work advances. When the weather
is fine he works all day, and when
the ground is frozen or water-soak-
ed he loafs in his shack.
Meyer is trying now TO buy some
more right of way. and the owners
are holding him up. hoping to force
him to tell his real plans. But Mey-
er just I'iugs along patiently, with
out saying a word and apparently
without worrying.

THAW CASE To
SUPREME COURT
If Governor of New Hamp-
shire Finds Adversely.
In the Extradition Hearing On
Next Tuesday---Point is
Won at Littleton.


for Harry X. Thaw today laid the
foundation for plans to carry his case
to the supreme court of the United
States, If the governor of New Hamp
shire finds adversely to Thaw in the
extradition hearing next Tuesday
United States district court and
The findings will be reviewed by the
United States district court and
should the decision there be adverse
to Thaw, successive appeals win be
taken until the case reaches the
highest court in the land. This was
the announcement made by the Thaw
lawyers tonight, after the fugitive
he'd scored victory today by having
indefinitely suspended the habeas
corpus bearing in the federal court.
In an open discussion with Mt.
Jerome after announcing the suspen-
sion OF the hearing. Judge AEdrich
said that search of the statutes had
failed to reveal to him any law un-
der which a man in Thaws position,
a lunatic, charged with crime,
could be extradited.
Mr.. Jerome tried to tlock the
postponement, on the ground that the
writ had been obtained as a matter
of expediency. He produced an affi-
davit of a newspaper man quoting
Thaw's counsel as saying this. but he
was unwilling to press the matter
after counsel for Thaw had assured
the court that the application for the
writ hsde been entirely regular. -
''What do you propose to do,
then?' insisted the Judge.
Jerome hesitated.
"The immediate question" con-
tinued the court, sis whether the
proceedings shall go on or be sus-
pended. 1t is the judgment of the
court that a suspension would not
menace the interests of either side,
and in view of the fact that the gov
ernor hesitates to proceed with the
extradition hearing until the status
of this matter Is assured, l suspend
it. 1t is not adjourned, but sus-
pehded. and l suggest that either
side notify me within six days when
they are prepared to go on with it,"

He was remanded- back to the joint
custody OF Sheriff Drew. of Coos

the tail; which is no easy task, for it
will wriggle and twist and turn in a
manner that would tax severely the
strongest wrist; whilst the doctor
forces the jaws open with surgical
instrument until he gets hold of the
bag containing the poisonous serum.
A small glass dish is held directly
beneath the bag, and the doctor pro-
ceeds to drain it of it's contents. Each
snake yields something like thirty cen
tigrames of serum, which in appear
ance greatly resembles ordinary milk
When the operation is over the
snake is taken away and placed in a
large garden, from which escape is a
matter of impossibility
OF course, it would be most cruel
to turn the poor, defenseless snake
adrift into the woods again, for he
would be entirely at the mercy of his
enemies, and soon succumb. So this
garden, which contains almost every
thing Mr.. Snake would find in his ma.
ural element, trees, shrubs, long and
thick, pools and streams, where he
may disport himself on warm days, Is
provided by the institute.
Hundreds of perfectly harmless rep
tiles of almost every kind may be seeI
gliding about in these gardens, and ont
can well imagine the horror traveller
with no knowledge of the circum
stance, would experience in finding
himself suddenly surrounded by horde
, of these reptiles.-London Tit-Bits.
