BRAKEMAN LOST
in PILE OF
COAL
w. o. MEREDITH is DUG OUT BY
OTHER RAILROADS JUST
IN TIME

Sunday night a coal train on the
Dawson division of the Southwestern
was wrecked by al broken wheel, caus-
ing the disabled car to be thrown
.crosswise of the right of way and the
derailment Of II cars, says the Tucum
carl Sun.
At the time Of the derailment Brake
man w. o. Meredith was riding coal
car HS was precipitated to the ground
and covered with the contents Of one
of the large 100000 pound capacity
coal cars which had turned turtle di-
rectly about him. Some of his COM
rades heard faint call and located
the unfortunate man far beneath the
mass Of coal under the overturned
car. After almost superhuman effort
on the part of the crew they succeed
ed in making an opening through the
mass of coal so thar the man could
get air, and finally dug him out Of the
death trap.
The man suffered greatly from the
shock and his many injuries He was
brought to the Tucumcari hospital for
treatment. His right leg was found
to be crushed but it is thought the
limb will be saved
All the railroad men are talking OF
Meredith's miraculous escape from
what seemed certain death. The in
jured mans sister and daughter ar
rived Tuesday night over the Rock
Island from Coffeyyille, Kas., and viii
remain during the serious part of his
illness.

Unique Method Of Keeping
Track Of Burlesque Shows
by the Booking Office.

ny HEN a sun man asked an old
M theatergoer a week ago to tell
him just what a "bUrlesque
vheelv was the theatergoer admitted
rather reluctantly that he hadn't the
remotest idea. He religiously saw a
burlesuue performance once a week.
he said, and guessed that 1t was
called 'WheeI' because the various
companies went around the country
in a circle.
Further Investigation by the inquirer
1c.eloped the fact that there were
few theatrical managers, actors and
AGENTS who knew. Only those imme-
d1atelv connected with burlesQue
could give an approximate answer
and some of them were a little doubt
fui; yet all were using the well known
term almost daily.
Take the Columbia Amusement as
s0ciatiOn. operators of the Columbia
BurlesQue wheel and see how the man
agement keeps track of the shows. In
the office they have a big tin disc
on which is painted the name, extend
ing out like a spoke from the hub, OF
the different shOWS-"The Taxi Girls,
THE Gayety Girls" etc. Around this
is a biz circle Of tin on which are
painted the names of the burlesque
theaters and the towns they are in
also radiating like spokes. The IN
side disc is turned each week and
shows where each of the companies
is playing, as the name Of the com
pany on the disc appears opposite the
name of the town in the outer circle.
For instance, this week THE Gayety
Girls" on the inner disc, are opposite
Kansas City and THE Taxi Girls" are
opposite Omaha. All other companies
appear opposite some other town or
theater. Next week, the disc will be
turned and each company will be
moved forward a notch. 1.-THE Gayety
Girls" viii move over to Omaha, and
the Taxi Girls who are this week
in Omaha. move forward to another
locality, while Rose SydeIPs company,
opposite st. Louis this week. moves
up to Kansas City.
In the wheel there are IS compan-
