How Storm nnd Wind Made
linton Train No. U One We
Late.
F.ur-
I
htiu t
SuPil At WuOd WatCutd the
falling Thursday and recalled to a lii
tle group of conversationalists the
great storm of April 1872, when a
heavy snow fell and when the wind
blew It into drifts that made Bur
lington No. 2 from Kearney arrive
In Lincoln Just one week late. Mr.
Atwood had cause to remember that
storm and the trouble It caused the
Burlington, because he was a conduc
tor on a freight train In those days,
running between Lincoln and Kear
ney. Mr. Atwood declares that the Bur
lington railroad in Nebraska was ne
ver tied up more completely than at
that time. It required one week to
open the line between Lincoln and
Kearney, and before the cuts were
cleared of the snow sufficiently to per
mft trains to pass through, farmers
were plowing In the nearby fields.
The wind had blown the fields clear
of the' snow and piled it In the cuts
and the low places. One result
of "bucking the drifts" in the vicin
ity of Sutton was the crushing of
three engines In a drift so badly that
but one of them could be used to get
the "funeral train," back to Lincoln.
"We had driven the train in a drift
so far that we had to dig It out
and pull one engine out at a time"
explained Mr. Atwood. "General
Manager Holdrege was then a train
master and he was out with us dir
ecting the work. We had three
engines with a wedge plow bolted to
the one ahead. Engineer Mike
Egan was on the front engine, Engin
eer Fuller on. the second and Engin
eer Denny O'Halloran on the third.
Engineer Egan was afterwards kill
ed in a wreck near Naponee; Ful
ler for a long time was master me
chanic at Denver and the last I heard
of Denny O'Halloran he was with
some railroad in Wisconsin, I think.
When we got the engines out Mr.
Holdrege told me to back down about
half a mile.uncouple the cars behind
us, and when he gave the signal to
make a run for the drift with the en
gines. In the meantime Mr Hold
rege, directing the shovelers, had
been digging pits in the drift to les
sen the shock when the engines
should strike it. He told me to have
the enginemen clear their fire boxes
and get up steam, and when they
started for the drift to hit It about
thirty miles an hour. He thought
it would stand that much speed at
least.
"Well, we had no more than back
ed down the road and gol ready than
the engineers began to josh each
about their engines and their run
nings. O'Halloran was a great Jok
er and he made it so warm for
Egan that I got uneasy. The boys
were showing spirit in their debate.
Egan's eyes flashed fire, and, he
wound up by telling O'Halloran to
do a little pushing when they made
the run insinuated that the head
engine had been pulling the other
two engines into the drifts all day.
Ho thought they might make bet
ter progress if the rear engines
would do some pushing. "That I
will," said O'Halloran, and to this
Fuller assented with more energy
than I relished. Finally Mr. Hold
rege, standing On the bunk of the
cut above the snow drift, gave me
the highball and I transmitted it to
Egan of the head engine. He gave
the start signal and it was answered
so quickly by the engines behind
him that it made me nervous. Those
engines started like a Jackrabblt--with
a Jump. , I had told them to
hit the drift thirty miles an hour
and they were stretching the speed
limit. I was on the rear engine with
O'Halloran and when I saw what they
were doing I yelled to Denny to hold
them. I was In command and he
obeyed. When we struck the drift
his engine was working reversed and
was dragging into the cut, but that
had not slackened 4he speed suffici
ently. The three engines were
crushed Into a space no longer than
the length of two engines. Engln
eer isgan ana nis nreman were
thrown out of their cab to one side,
practically unhurt but the crew of
the second engine did not fare so
well.
"That was merely one incident of
a week or snow bucking In which
we finally cleared the main line
For a week we had little rest and
mighty poor fare. We were met in
tho cut west of Juniata by the pas
senger train from Kearney which
had worked Its way down that far
during tho week. It arriving !
Lincoln Just a week late."
During his service with the Bur
llngUm In those early days Mr. At
wood encountered otner tilings so
strange that eastern people yet re
fuse to believe them, although rest
dents of the state In that time can bi
found who will corroborate them and
add to tho statements other equally
strange incidents. When tho grass
hoppers covered the state in the
early seventies Mr. Atwood frequent
ly had to divide his train In two and
three parts to get It over Berks hill
II. ATWOOD TKLLS
OF STOKM OF
southwest of Lincoln, then known as
Highland hill. During the day the
rails would get very warm from the
sun. hen night came on the rail:
would ool slowly and the grasshop
pers would gft on the rails to enjoy
its warmth. When a grasshopper
covered rail would be struck by an
engine on a grade trouble always fol
lowed. The wheels would crush the
insects and made the rails as difficult
for the engine drivers to adhere to as
though the track had been soaped.
Mr. Atwood remembers that a St.
Joe and Grand Island crew had to
make five trips from the valley of the
Little Blue river to get its train into
Hastings because of grasshoppers on
the rails. Grasshoppers blocked the
line in the summer and snow in the
winter. State Journal.
Former I'lattsmouth Boy.
The San Bernarldo, Cal., Times-
Index says:
Will Miller is a San Bernardino
boy who has made good at Belmont
ollege this year in football. He is
graduate of the local high school
where he was always strong in ath
letics, and fast in football. This
ear he has played right tackle on
the Belmont team,, which has won
every game It played, except one; that
being a tie game, with Berkley. The
school scored a total of 168 points
7 against it.
The current issue of the "Cricket,"
the college publication, has the fol
lowing to say of Miller's work on
the football team, In the way of a
farewell, as he will go to Berkley
next year.
, "Miller, 156 pounds, at right tack
le was absolutely new to his posi
tion, and, having many things to
learn, did not show his best form un
til the season was well along. He
was very aggressive and in the St.
Mathew's and Berkley games played
like a demon. He was fast, broke
through well and tackled hard. He
blocked the kick of the Berkley
which resulted in Belmont's only
touchdown and took part In the re
markable defensive rally of the same
game. He was fast In getting down
the field, and but for his tendency
to over-run his man, was a close sec
ond to Hartman. He was fond of
the game and seemed to revel In the
hardest sort of a contest. He will
be a big loss to our football inter
ests."
The Will Miller mentioned above
Is a native of this city and a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Will Miller who for
merly lived here.1 Mrs. Miller was
Miss Grace Bennett. The young man
will bo quite well remembered by a
number of the younger generation.
Vof. II. A. Howell, of Havana. Cuba.
Iteconiniends Clinniheiiuin's
Cough Itcincriy.
"As long as I can remember my
mother was a faithful user and flrend
f Chambeiiain'8 Cough Remedy, but
never in my life have I realized its
true value until now," writes Prof.
A. Howell, of Howell's American
School, Havana, Cuba. "On the
night of February 3, our baby was
taken sick with a very fend cold, the
next day was worse and the followi
ng night his condition was desper
ate. He could not lie down and it
was necessary to have him in the
arms every moment. Even then his
breathing was difficult. I did not
think that he would live until morn-
ng. At last t thought of my moth
er s remedy, Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it af
forded prompt relief and now three
days later, he has fully recovered.
Under the circumstances I would not
hesitate a moment In saying that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and
that only, saved the life of our dear
little boy." For sale by F. G. Fricke
