Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Last Tuesday was moving day
for Art Wickham and his gang OF
pipeftters, coppersmiths and help
ers. The pipe and tin shop is now
located in the northwest corner OF
Cap Blumlein's machine shop. Il
took the gang just half day tc
desert their former ''hang-out' TAX
ing with them all working tools
and line OF "hotair" The move
was occasioned on account of the
splendid headway being made by
our contracting friend, c. E. Jones
and crew of "dismantlers' in tear
ing down the rOundhouse. The
freight side" is now nothing but
a Skeleton" Alta boy! We're fol-
you Mr.. Jones.
Joe Adams, winsome chap from
the L. A. auditing office, arrived in
town last Wednesday and will So
journ with us a while during which
time he'll make diligent search
(but all in vain) for mistakes IN
the records of the mechanical de-
partment timekeepers.
"Geei That had me nervous for
a little while" said acting general
foreman Kuhn when Charles Atsya
reported that he had been. injured
via a piece Of brass in his eye. In
fact all workmen were just about
ready to scalp Atsya as there has
not been a single accident in the
shops so far this year. 1t was a
great relief therefore when DR..
Brown could find nothing in the In
dians eye except "sty" if it was
even that bad.
The cleaners on the riptrack are
preparing REFERS for the Phoenix

ever thunk it? Bennett Coaka, car

cidentally a real ride 'em cowboy
master of horses and even wild
buffalos, beside being a first string
baseball "chucker" on the all-In-
dian nine, took upon himself a
bride. Last Sunday, Ben departed
for Prescott and returned Tuesday
on train No. %, with Miss Kowana
Gates, as his wife. 1t surely was
a big surprise to everyone and the
gang Immediately demanded two
for-two-bits" cigars. Best wishes
are hereby extended.
Four former apprentice boys of
the local shops were visitors over
last weekend and all received a
hearty welcome. They were Will
lard Wellman, now located in Gal
lup and "Our Danny" Hitchcock,
E. E. Cowboy Holt and Walter
Lewis, from San Bernardino. The
boys apparently enjoyed their short
stay judging the way they went
over big" at the long winded dance
at the Green Mill BY the way,
folks, it is said that Saturday
nights frolic was the biggest sue
cess since the Shop Supervisors
Ball in the Arcadia Hall last Janu
ary. Only once did Mr.. Howe stray
from his agreement in regard to
choosing the winners Of the prize
dances but he soon got 'rerailed. "
