VETERAN RAILRoADER RETIREs.
j. C. Prentice, First Engineer in Kan
sas, Takes Permanent Vacation.

Chanute, Kan, July il. C. Prin-
tice, who came into Kansas with the
first locomotive that ever entered the
state, and who pulled the first trains
into Girard, Pittsburg and Joplin for
the Santa Fe Railroad company, has
retired from railroading.
There was little formality about the
occa sion. The veteran engineer
brought his passenger train in from
Joplin on time. He turned 1t over to
his fireman, climbed down the steps
and went to his handsome home at
100 South Lincoln avenue, where he
started on a vacation which his many
friends hope he will live long to enjoy.
Mr.. Prentice was born in Ga1esburg,
ILL.,, sixty-nine years ago. He began
his railroad career in May of 1863 at
Quincy. ILL.,, where he began firing for
the Quincy & st. Joe back in the days
of wood burners.
Previous to that time he had tried
twice to enlist in the Union army, but
both times his services were rejected
because of his youth and size.
He came to Kansas from Quincy
with the first engine for the Union
Pacific, reaching st. Joseph December
81, 1853. The river was blocked with

THREATEN TO STORM JAIL.
But L. w. w. Members just Send
Notes and Leave Town.

Dodge City, July Threats that
they would have 1000 men in Dodge
City today to rule the town, that the
city hall would be blown up with
dynamite and that prisoners held in
the city Jail would be released by force
were some of the threats made by
members of the I. w. w. who were
incensed by the arrest of four of their
number.
All day the inmates of the Jail kept
the officers out of the Jail by keeping
the keyhole plugged from the inside.
And, like the Mexican trouble. it
wound up with an exchange of diplo-
matte notes and sixty of the 'wob-
blies" left town on a Santa Fe flat
car, eastward bound.
