Conductor Frank Kendlen , who has
been visiting his brother up in Minnesota -
seta , arrived home , last Saturday night.
He visited St. Paul , Minneapolis and other -
er Minnesota points during his absence.
"BORN-May 19 , 1895 , at Washington
Heights , Chicago , Ill. , to Engineer and
Mrs. B. H. Douglass , a daughter. Mother -
er and child are doing well" is the reading -
ing of a note received from Chicago ,
Tuesday of this week.
The wrecker and crew went up to
Hudson , Colorado , from this point , Friday -
day afternoon , to pick a portion of a
freight train out of the ditch. Engine
281 was drawing the train. The damage
was not very severe , we understand.
An article in the Cambridge Kaleidoscope -
scope of May loth grossly misrepresents
Conductor Frank Kendlen , one of the
Burlington's most capable , trusted and
courteous passenger conductors. The
Kaleidoscope pretends to recount the
facts of the Gromm incident but with
marvelous success and dexterity succeeds -
ceeds only in misrepresenting about every
single fact in connection with the affair.
A man named A. E. Gromm of Kansas
City was a passenger on No. 3 , Friday ,
May 3d , for Cambridge. Groom knew
from several sources that No. 3 would
not stop at Cambridge and when Conductor -
ductor Kendlen demanded the fare to
McCook , $ t.02 ( with the 25 cent rebate
included in the amount ) Gromm refused
to pay , although the demand was simply
in compliance with the rules of company
in such cases. The demand was made a
second and a third time , the , last time
train was stopped and with the aid of
two brakemen an effort was made to put
Gromm off the train. Seeing that the
man could not be put off without injuring -
ing him the trainmen desisted and
Gromm rode on to this city. The story
that Conductor Kendlen demanded $ l.oo
fare is variest bosh , as the regular fare
is only 77 cents. The statement that
Gromm's clothing was disarranged as
though "he had been playing with a
Kansas cyclone" , is also a mere figment
of the imagination ; while the fable
about Gromm "getting the brakeman
around the neck and threatening to pnsh
him the window" is
through an amusing -
ing , impossible yarn. Groom seems to
have deported himself on the train in a
manner which warranted more forcible
treatment than he received ; and there are
men in the passenger service who would
have fired him off the train without cer-
emony. After arriving here , Groom
kept up his blowing and bragging about
the depot. The proper thing for the
Kaleidoscope to do is to correct its misrepresentations -
representations promptly , and thus right
as far is possible the injustice perhaps
I unwittingly done Conductor Kendlen.

Chime. Whistles on Passenger
Engines.
It is announced by some of the technical -
nical papers that the Pennsylvania railroad -
road has adopted chime whistlesas standard -
dard for its passengerengines. The , fact
is that this road hasbeen equipping its
passenger engines with chime whistles
for the past two years , and is now push-
jug such equipment as rapidly as possi-
ble. This is not only complimentary to
the good sense of the Pennsylvania's
management , butit isalso a healthysign
of the increased attention that is being
given by managers to what we have frequently -
quently spoken of as the refinements of
railroad management.
The most successful managers of large
retail establishments vie with each other
in adopting refinements of their service
that eliminate every possible phase of
trade that is disagreeable to their pa-
trons. The same'policy should prevail
in railroad operating. Railroads have
transportation to sell , and much of it is
retailed to individual passengers who are
apt to bestow their future patronage
where the results promise to be most
pleasant ; or , at least , where there is a
minimum of disagreeable features. The
squalling , bellowing , screeching whistles
used on many passenger engines are
properly classed among the latter. Their
rasping tones are annoying in the daytime -
time and exasperating at night , wlieil
they frequently startle sleeping passengers -
gers , or entirely chase away the gentle
god vainly being wooed.
The action of such roads as the Pennsylvania -
sylvania and Michigan Central i n recognizing -
nizing these facts and adopting whistles
with soft , pleasant tones for their passenger -
ger engines , will surely have the effect
of prompting other roads to do likewise
or of drawing a larger proportion of
patronage to themselves.-National Car
Builder.

Oscar Yarger made a flying trip to
Denver , Tuesday night.

,
liance , Monday morning
Denver and Gulf cars can now be occasionally -
ionally seen on the Burlington.
Engineer A. Snyder expects to go to
the mines up in Fremont county , Wyoming -
ing , within about two weeks.
Oscar Yarger returned to Red Cloud ,
this morning , and will return to McCook ,
Sunday. He has been transferred to
Akron , Colorado.
Electrician Brown of McCook was in
the city , the latter part of last week , finishing -
ishing the telephone line from the depot
to the First and Arapahoe State banks.
All the lines are in hello order.-Arapa-
hoe Mirror.
Engineer Holliday's horse caused a
momentary ripple ofexcitement Wednesday -
day afternoon by breaking away from
him , while en route to the station fo r
shipment to Denver , and tearing down
Main avenue at break-neck speed. The
animal was captured without injury.
While indulging in a "flying switch"
at Wray , Colorado , Monday afternoon ,
Tom Wilkinson had the misfortune to
unload some car wheels rather unceremoniously -
moniously , for which the company rewarded -
warded him with a thirty-day vacation.
Tom's bad luck has become proverbial.
The ditching of the mogul engine 281
at Hudson , last Friday morning , was
caused by the removal of a rail by the
steel laying gang , we understand. Instead -
stead of the engineer of 281 stopping as
ordered at this point , he simply slowed
up , and when it was discovered that a
rail was out it was too late to stop. The
engine men both jumped before the engine -
gine went into the ditch. We hear it
stated that the engine went over the
space where the rail had been removed
and back again on the track on th e
other side but was then ditched by a
rail lying across the track.
