Engineer Runs Amuck.


George Lewis, an old time d. & r.
G. engineer run amuck yesterday and
created considerable disturbance in
Chama and Durango. For some time
his associates have recognized that
his mental condition was not quite
normal. About week ago it became
so serious that railroad officials
pulled him off" the road. Yester-
day forenoon he attempted to burn
the town of Chama, but was thwart-
ed in his efforts. When the Eastern
passed through the town Durango
bound, he escaped from the officers
and came here. After reaching Du-
rango he committed number of of
fenses which gave evidence of his
fitness for the insane asylum. Dur
ing the night he broke into the Golden
Ruple store, changed his good suit
of clothes for one of theirs, and left
behind his diamond pin and pocket
book. 1t took the combined efforts of
the railroad boys and the city peace
officers to get aboard the train to be
taken back to his home in Alamosa
this morning. After he was in the
coach it was necessary to hand cuff
him to keep him under control. One
of the railroad boys made the trip
in the capacity of guard. At one
time Lewis was engineer on the pas
senger. A few years ago he sus-
tanned injuries in wreck on Cum
bres when the engine went over the
mountain side. Since he has never
been able to walk without cane.
He has a family in Alamosa but it
is reported that the domestic rela-
tions have not been harmonious, and
possibly this has had part in caus-
ing his mental condition.

Troubles in Newspaper Office.

When work is rushing and time
is limited, it does not add materially
to the good nature of the manager of

ing for duty and say 81 have quit. =
That is the way we were left in the
