Union Webb was In Columbus ves
torday and he spent the night here
with his brother W. 11. Webb, firuce
has a host of frlonds among the (toys
in OoliimbuH aud they all have known
him for a long time that he is a
"prince" among gcod fellows. But
not until Vast night did thoy know
anything about his "sprinting" abil
ities. It came about In this way.
HrucM was intending to go home last
night with Fred Pratt and John Ben
der on the Norfolk passeuger. He
stood at the station talking with his
brother till the train pulled down past
the switch. He thought It wonld lok
to the station again, lint it didn't,
and liruco gavo chase. It was a pretty
race. The englueor polled the throttle
wide open aud tun Norfolk passenger
neai ly left tho track as it rouiided the
curves. Tho spued would have done
credit to the Twentieth Century Lim
ited. Hut lirucu gained steadily and
ho would havo caught it if his coat
tail hnd not gathered so innch atmos
phere. Hn had to givo op the obase,
however, thorn was nut an eyewitness
of the race who would not haok Hrooe
against any freight train in Nebraska.
There has been talk uf running Bruce
for slier I IT and sliiijp hl demntistra
