and was then adoring one of the
big baggage trucks on the depot
platform. The matter was imm-

agent J. c. Pease, and he informed
us that the rumor was absolutely
correct and that the long awaited
machine had arrived. However
We were still somewhat skeptical
with no reflect on the veracity
of our informant, and Mr.. Pease,
but you know, it seemed almost
too good to be true, so we made Il
