ager passenger and freight agent. su-
perintendent, engineer. fireman. con-
ductor and brakeman OF the system
for the past five years.
The Kansas, Southern & Gulf rail-
fead is probably the only road in the
state that has no bonded or other In
debtedness. Mr.. Morris Is now the
sole owner of the road. but expects
to organize company, improve the
road and in time extend the line to
Wamego.
The railroad is operated by an au-
tomobile. with regular car wheels.
This machine hauls the two or three
small flat cars that constitute the
equipment of the railroad. 1t usually
hauls five or six tons Of freight and
twenty Or twenty-five passengers at a
trip. The regular trips are made once
a day. but when half dozen men

land, special train Is easily OBJ

The railroad does a good business
and is said to be a money maker. 1t

Brokerage company of Kansas City.
Mo. Two years later part of the track
was washed away by heavy rains. The
company. which had been losing
money on the road. refused to operate
1t any longer and the people Of West
moreland took the matter in hand
With teams scrapers, shovels, nearly
every citizen of that thriving county
seat turned out and rebuilt the road.
The company still refused to put the
line in operation and it was thrown
in the hands of a receiver For eigh-
teen months the city Of Westmore-
land managed the railroad.
The road was then foreclosed and
tho city bought it for $13,5OO and
turned it over to Smith Brothers and

road and either extend it to Wameeo
or operate it for fifteen years. After
running it for five years, they laid
down the burden and c. E. Morris

The fact, however, that the goal was

what from the satisfaction Of the victory.
The defence on both sides was superb,
but the work Of the forwards was not
quite all that could he desired. To a large
extent the poor condition OF the field ac-
counted for this.
Brooklyn kicked off and played against
the wind throughout the first half, during

visitors made several dangerous rusnes'
but the remarkable defensive tactics OF
