Passenger Engine Runs By a now arrangement which went into effect yesterday Burlington engine crews running on the fast trains be tween Lincoln and McCook will here after run through instead of changing at Hastings Last summer the engines were sent through and the test of the engines was entirely satisfactory It was thought then that it might be better to run the crews through as it was believed that the last half of the trip could be better made by the engi neer who had run the engine than by a new man to the rngine taking it after it had made a performance of a hundred miles or more This summer when the new longer run schedule was arranged it was decided to send the engineers through The first trips were made yesterday By the new schedule the engineers will earn 200 per montf 1 average Where they formerly received 740 for the trip to Hastings and return they will now get S1550 for the trip to Mc Cook and back Seven enginemen have been chosen to make this run and all of them will live in Lincoln Four of the men named live in the city now and the other three will be brought from McCook F D Palmer J F Duffy W N McLennan and H L Beatty of Lincoln and Barney Sharkey
