Friend of King
of Bulgaria Brief
Visitor in City
Gus Phillips of Palls City Has Re
ceived Gift of Royal Cigarettes
from European Monarch
Gus Phillips, of Falls City, well
known Missouri Pacific engineer and
personal friend of
King Boris of
! Eulararia
was a brief visitor in
nd brother of Herman
Thomas, former Mop agent here.
Mr. Phillips called briefly at the
Journal office to renew acquaintance
with Journal news men he had met
at the time of the Mynard wreck
on July 30th. Gus was engineer on
the freight train that piled up as a
result of a broken tire on the engine
tender.
While here he left a number of
i the royal cigarettes of his friend the
kins, which had been sent him
re
cently. They bear gold stripes and
the royal coat of arms in gilt, and J
j seem filled with tobacco, although j
j we shall not be given to smoking I
I them, but rather keep them as'
souvenirs of the nearest contact with j
royalty any ordinary news hound in!
democratic America can ever hope to :
make.
Mr. Philips is addressing the Ro
tary flub at York at their noonday
luncheon today. He i3 the only rail
way engineer in the United States
holding membership in Rotary, both;
he and Mr. Thomas belonging to the i
Falls City Ro.tary club.
He had pulled a south bound train
through here early Wednesday morn
ing on his regular run. and expects
to be back in Falls City tonight to
resume his duties on schedule time.
"Gus." as be is familiarly known,
gained national fame when he was
invited to visit Bulgaria several years
ago to teach the Bulgarians how
railroads are operated in this coun
try. The invitation from the king
came as a sequence to the time he
had pulled a special train bearing
the king and party, then on a visit
to the United States. Their friend-
ship has continued, with numerous i
exchanges of gifts. A year ago, Gus j
sent Boris a model streamlined train j
and the king reciprocated by send-j
ing him a diamond stick pin, which j
he prizes very highly. j
The Journal force enjoyed an in- j
teresting visit with this modern day j
Casey Jones of American railroad-
ing, who although he has pulled ;
hundreds of trains through Platts- j
mouth, has visited the downtown sec- j
tion of Plattsmouth but twice the
first time the day of the wreck, when
he caught up a few hours Bleep at
the hotel here, .and yesterday, when
he tarried rather briefly.
