Lyle has gone thru the hardships
of the early-day railway life in the
middle west. He has fought with the
negro bootleggers at the express Of
flee, he has been snowbound and he
has heard the bullets of train robbers
whistllng around his express car on
the Oklahoma plains in the early days.
Lyle entered the express service in
1880 as a messenger for the American
Express company, running from In
dianapolis to st. Louis. In 1884 he
became a messenger for the Wells
Fargo Express company, running from
Kansas City to Albuquerque.
In 1889 he became the Wells-Fargo
agent at Emporia and two years later
was promoted to route agent for west
ern Kansas lines of the Santa Fe from
Hutchinson to Denver. A year later
he was appointed route agent for the
eastern Kansas lines of the Santa re
with headquarters at Emporia. The
headquarters for the route gent were
transferred to Topeka in 1897 and
Lyle has been a Topeka resident ever
since.
Glad Booze Is Gone.
Lytle's duties during all these years
has been to audit the accounts of all
agents between Kansas City and Su-
Derior. Neb, solicit trade from the
Shippers, straighten out quarrels be-
tween agents and shippers ana actlnS
as a mediator for kicks and trade dis
agreements on the roads in eastern
Kansas. He has seen the bootlegging
business in its zenith and IT'S ueclhe
and finally in it's death
''The bookkeeping business was the
chief grief of the express men, sald
TNtle. I'VE had the ignorant and
0uarreIsome element in every town to
ri after
express came in from Kansas City or
some other wet town. 1t made US lots
of money but we are making it up
with other business now"
Outlaws Held Up Train.
While a route agent Lyle was on
an express car one night in Oklahoma
wnen a band of outlaws held up the
train. Lytle and the express agent
heard shots but thought at first it
was dynamite on the track. Then a
shot struck the door of the car.
I'VE both climbed out and lined
IN with the train crew." said Lyle.
'The robbers blew up our safe but
found no money in it. They debated
as to whether they should search the
passengers but finally decided to let
chem alone. They fired few volleys
and rode away.
"As we were lined up there along
the right-of-way We could look into
the cars. We knew we had full load
of passengers when we left but the
train certainly looked vacant. Every
passenger was ducked down under his
seat fearful that a chance bullet
might strike him.
The war calling three Topeka en-
ployes of the Wells-Fargo to their
country's service hasn't made LytIe's
new job a bed of roses. T. K. Law
renee OF Ottawa, will succeed -ytle
as route agent. Mr.. Lawrence will
move his family to Topeka

The United States in the employ
