EARLY RAILROADS RECALLED IN TALK
MADE BY VETERAN ENGINEER TUESDAY

George B. Dougan, veteran railroad
er, had an interested audience at the
banquet Of the Veteran Employees as
sociation of the Richmond division OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Tuesday
night, when he presented an account
of early days on the railroad.
Dougan was a pioneer railroader
with the Pennsylvania, entering it's
employ in 1856 when only boy, work
ing at first for the depot restaurant
and finally working up to fireman and
then to an engine of his own. II was
a boy II years old when l first came
to Richmond" said Dougan, land
first went to work for Ruben Fuller
who ran the depot restaurant"

cat that time, what we now call the
Chicago road was built as far as New
castle. The president was Judge Bun
dy of Newcastle Gather of General
Bundy of World war fame); superin-
tendent Albert Blanchard of Boston,
Mass; and the master mechanic was
William Skinner, brother-in-law of
Blanchard and Fuller. The shops were
then at Newcastle Later they were
moved to Richmond, and located back
Hardware store and 1. R. Howard gro
Gerry store.
'The road reached Logansport in
1857. The station was south of the
river in TabOrtOwn and passengers and
freight were carried across the river
in wagons, carts, anything that would
carry them.
Followed Road Builders.
From Logansport the road was con-
tinued to Chicago and then was the be-
ginning of my service,r he said Il

Plenty Of Game.
We had boarding cars for the Ia
horers laying the track but there were
two crews of train men and we found
boarding places along the line where

for the Good Cheer class of the U. B.
church. The guests were received by
Mrs. Ollie Harter as Martha Washing

Martha Washington tea room. all the
guests wore colonial costumes. From
a cherry tree planted in one room the

cherries from the branches. Refresh

we were comfortable but we never
had any meat that two years, only
such game as was killed by our board
ing-house keeper or some of our own
boys. You could get a deer any day
within 100 yards of the house and
could kill turkey day or night with
any kind of a shooting implement and
more of them were killed with the old
pepper box revolver or horsc pistol
than with gun, in fact the rifle
"muzzle" loader was the only gun
ever saw there and the most of them
were of the flint lock make, the per-
cussion cap was just coming in but
the natives had not taken to it yet.
After trains were put on, there was
not day or night that deer were not
seen on the road bed and the country
at that time had not been drained out
and I will say that from Winamac to
LaCross was all lake excepting the
sand hills and those were the places
the wild game made their habitation.
Hundreds of deer were killed by the
train and it was but a common occur
renee to find a turkey on the front
end of the engine when you came to a
stop.
Green Wood is Fuel.
We had a pretty tough experience
for several years. AA engines were
wood burners and all the wood was
what we called green four-foot wood
no blowers and when they would die
it was wait until that wood in the fire
box got to burning then keep that fire
box full-that was the important
thing. OF course, the Poney engine

FOR ITCHING TORTURE
Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin,
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes skin
diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples. rashes,
blackheads, in most cases give way
to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes
disappear overnight. Itching usually
stops instantly. Zerno is safe. anti
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, Sl.O0. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

his school books and go into pro-
fessional baseball in any league.
But he won't. He'll stick 10 his

He throws a fast-brealdnR drop
with perfect control He handles
himself smoothly in the box and
wears a good head on his shoulders.
In his record game Barnes threw
but 7S balls. He struck out 10
men.

had not fumbled an easy bounder
to reach first base, Barnes accom-

He would have come near equal
