SPENDS THE NIGHT
 WAVING A LANTERN
 ID JET ID PHOENIX

The busiest flagman the Arizona Eastern ever had worked all night of Sunday without pay and without any other authority than a lantern but not without results. He Jagged everything, catching trains coming and going. He was C. w. Grouse, who had never had previous experience in railroadng
 MT. Grouse was coming to Phoenix with a cash register which needed fix ing On account of the stage of the river he drove fram Sacaton to the station of Sacate, the other side of the Gila bridge. to catch a train for Phoe- nix. Sacate is a flag station, and noth- ing more. and if the trainmen could have their way, it would not be that much.
 Mir. Grouse arrived at Sacate after night. The storekeeper there did not want to sit up all nght, so he armed MT. Grouse with a lantern and told him to go to it. He also warned him that he would probably find some of the trainmen grouchy. MT. Grouse was surprised by the volume of the traffic on the Arizona Eastern. He did not know that it was running half as many trains.
 The first train he caught was south bound, and then he became involved in a dispute with a brakeman over a matter of ethics, concerning the side the train to he boarded by MT. Grouse and his baggage. The brakeman was as finicky about sides as a COW to be milker or a cow-pony to be mounted The dispute ended with the train going on south. It was then that Mir. Grouse sought the aid of the train dispatcher and the authority he had received from the store keeper to flag trains was fortified
 Then he began to flag trains going | toward Phoenix The first was 8 freight, which naturally paid no at tention to the waving lantern. Bu along about midnight the flagmar caught and stopped a passenger. He
 slept late yesterday morning Inquiry 1 at the offices of the Arizona Easterr i yesterday brought no word of an in. | tention to abandon Sacate as a flae | station.
