JOHN O'LEARY
 VETERAN (R.R. MAN
 VISITS HOME CITY
Present Roadmaster of Great Northern System Rose From Waterboy Here.

John O'Leary, brother of Police Lieut. William H. O'Leary and son of the late Patrick OLearys for many years general foreman on the New Haven road residing at the old homestead at the corner Of Crescent avenue and Hallett street has return ed to this city for a visit after an absence of five years. His present residence is Minneapolis, Minn-, position of authority with the Great Northern railroad.
 His advent into Bridgeport where he is renewing acquaintance of his youth and earlier life brings forcibly to mind the long railroad history of the O'Ieary family, for his father way back in the early days of the New Haven system was a section fore man and elevated himself up to gem eral foreman of the division. John O'Ieary started under his father as waterboy and two other brothers, William H., the present police lieu tenant and James, all worked under their father William remained in the railroad employ until he became a member of the uniformed police of this city IT years ago.
 John continued in the service of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford road for a period of IS years during which time he rose to sue ceed his father as general foreman of the division Later he went with the Chicago & Alton railroad, being stationed at Joliet, H., where he re- mained for 12 years. a trfbate to his fathers teachings and his own per severance. His first appointment with the Alton was supervisor of track, but he was elevated by. sue cessive stages until he became general roadmaster.
 After twelve years with the Alton he entered the employ of the Great Northern, commanded by that great builder of the Northwest, James J H1l1. He has for the past four years been division roadmaster with that line, the title being equivalent to that he held with the Alton. His duties
 lie dffectly within the city of Min. l neapolis.
 It is interesting to note that the great railroad system over which he has partial Jurisdiction is the great grain road of the west, having thous- ands of cars enter it's terminal daily daily enter the city of Minneapolis and the great freight of the west
 passes over its lines. for no car can come into the city except over the Great Northern rails.
 Since leaving Bridgeport three daughters have been born to MT O'Leary, all of whom have married 1 two residing at present at Minnea- polls and one in Joliet. He has fo91l grandchildren. While here his many l friends and brother EIks will not be
 surprised to again see the genial. com panion of their youth.

There are several makes Of iron

they are put up in hurry they are
very little better than a wire gate.
