Twenty-cight years IS long time between visits, but that is the period which has elapsed since J. w. Smith, of Douglas, was last here. On the occasion of his former trip Mr. Smith was summoned as witness in the celebrated criminal case against the bandit who held up a Santa Fe train in Canyon Diablo and was pursued and captured by Bucky O'Neill. However, he was not called to the stand as the accused pleaded guilty. Mir. Smith was the fireman on the train. Railroading he decided was too strenuous so he got job as en- gincer for the C. & A. and for l3 years stuck to the post with only one short vacation and that was when he took lay-off to sec the fair at Frisco. After all the years of toll he decided that he was entitled to real vacation and came back to the place that impressed him so favorably in the years agonc.
