A new floor has been put in in the office of General Foreman Hack-ley of the car department. Dave Brown worked in the car department last night for Bob Slov-er, and on his own shift today. W. E. Akers, A.

J. Martin, J. W. Gunn, C. O.

Norton and E. C. Dobbs, were the extra brakemen of the Santa Fe at this point today. Bob Chattam, returned to Skedee this morning, where he has charge of the Santa Fe pumping plant, after spending Sunday with relatives in the city. Conductors Craig, Dennis, Heck, Adams, Cusson, Martin, Day and Clay, were in charge of the south bound freigTit trains on the Santa Fe today.

E'ngineers Suhl, Simons, Ruggley, Hawley, Firemen McKnight; Leslie, Patton and Smith, of the Middle division were in the city last night and today. E. P. Gray, general foreman of the shops, laid off today to super intend the moving of his household goods. "Frenchy" Secord officiated at the roundhouse.

Conductors Brown, O'Donnell, and Stephens were irT the city today from Emporia. They arrived last evening and they paid the storm in that vicinity was the worst they had ever seen in Kansas. E. P. Ray, manager of the Arkansas City Produce plant, talked over long distance to a business acquaintance in Kansas City this morning, who told him that one foot of snow has fallen there and there was no sign of it abating.

These are the brakemen who were called to go out on southbound freight trains today, Pearson, Carr, Caveney, Humphrey, Phillips, Heim- elic, Huffman, Adams, Newman, Read, Jackson, Goodan, Goff, Rog ers, Miller, Gilbert and McGee. The Santa Fe has dispatched a small ramy of men to the scenes in Western Kansas, where the snow drifts have blockaded the traffic. A continuance of the storm or a repetition of it later in the week, as is predicted, will tie up the traffic west of Newton indefinitely. The officials and wrecking crew of Arkansas City are jubilant that the severe storm which raged in Western Kansas yesterday did not extend to the Oklahoma division. There was enough grief experienced on this line on account of the snow storm which blocked traffic on the Shawnee line a few days a go.

The enginemen and trainmen of the Oklahoma division assembled in the freight office at this point yes terday, to talk over railroad matters as concerned their interests and oc cupations. They held a very prot- table meeting and gained much val uable information that will be bene ficent to them and their work. The railroad men listened to an interesting address by James H. Wood, gen eral air brake instructor at Topeka, Kan! There was a good attenuance spite of the bad weather. The Gem Promises its Patrons one of the Best Vaudeville acts of the Season.

The terrific storm of yesterday beginning with a driving rain and developing into a snow blizzard of tremendous has caused vastly more inconvenience to the railroads all over Kansas, particularly south west, Missouri and extending into Colorado, than the recent show Rtnrm. No trains attempted to leave Newton westbound yesterday, and no doubr the same conditions will exist today or longer. Snow plows are in great demand and these machines are not able to cope very successfully with the monstrous sonw drifts that have so effectually blockaded traffic.

The street car lines in several Kansas towns are hit as hard as the railways. Arkansas City seems to have been struck by only the tail of the blizzard, and the railways running into Arkansas City from the south are having very little, if any trouble, occasioned by the storm. Trains ar riving from the north are making good time considering the difficulties they have to face further north. No. 17 a passenger train of the Santa Fe, arrived here about two hours late this morning, and the top of every car was a solid mass of ice and long icycles hung from the roofs.

This condition was due to the high wind and the train running so swiftly, caused the snow and rain to freeze solid and become ice. The Oklahoma division has experienced no trouble, as yet. However, every precaution is being taken against a re-occurence of the conditions that existed a few days ago when the cuts on the Shawnee line filled in with huge snow drifts and traffic was temporarily abandoned. Anoth er storm is predicted for Wednesday or Thursday of this week and the Santa Fe is making preparations now to keep line south of here cleared, if it is possible to do so with the equipment they have at hand here. The Rock Island and Santa Fe in southwestern Kansas tvere hit harder by the present storm than at any time previously this winter, and this is including the severe storm of some weeks ago when traffic in western Kansas was tied up1 for several days.

The offi cials describe the storm of yesterday as the worst they have had to con tend with in years. Locating the Santa Fe. James Smith and Joseph Wilson, draughtsmen from the office of the division engineer, at Chanute, are here comparing the plats of the Santa Fe railroad with the town plats and other maps in the office of the register of deeds. This is for the purpose of determining exactly what townships and school districts the road runs through, and what additions to towns have been made since the road was built. This will have considerable to do with the assessment of the road for taxes in tho several municipalities and districts, and with the responsibility of the road in maintaining crossings and other improvements.

courier Another Shooting Affair. Only a few days following the kill ing of a Santa Fe officer at Guthrie another man serving the Santa Fe in a similar capacity was shot down at Oklahoma City. J. M. Thonfas was the victim.

The bullet took effect in his neck, and he was hurried to a hospital from whence comes the report that he will perhaps recover. Watchman Thomas said after the shooting that he spoke to two negroes in the yard, and passed on. One of them fired at the officer and escaped. Engineer Frank Myer, is laying off for a few trips. Joe Lively of the car department laid off yesterday.
