John Converse spent a pleasant day
last Sunday with friends in Oklahoma
City.
Engineer W. C. Hannon, of Kansas
City, is one of the new men at the
throttle on C. N., and is a pleasant
fellow and doing good service.
Harrv Lucas, our good, genial heart-
ed auditor, went to St. Joseph, Mo.,
last Saturday night. He will spend
the entire week with his family.
Conductor Nicely, the popular relief
passenger conductor, is laying off this
week, enjoying a vacation, but hopes
to be back on duty Monday morning.
The Redmen’s installation and ban-
quet, last Thursday night, was largely
attended, and a pleasant time was had
by all the railroad boys that attended.
Conductor Goss. the popular local
conductor, has been promoted to a
passenger run and looms up with his
brass buttons. The boys all like him
and hope his new job will be perma-
nent.
Mr. Waller is now at Welburton, in
the capacity of yardmaster. George
Berk’cht succeeds him here and gives
good service. He’s from Missouri,and
you’ll “have to show him,” in case
you don’t convince him in the begin-
ning.
Fred Reech, the popular young land
agent of the Choctaw, went east to
Oklahoma City, Saturday night. He
was provided with a liberal supply of
hand bills, advertising Geary to a fin-
ish. to several hundred people on the
train.
Harrison Hargroves, of our freight
department, is off duty this week, ow-
ing to the death of his mother, who
died Sunday, at her home in this city.'
The funeral occurred Tuesday, and
was largely attended by friends of the
family.
J. G. Doughty spent Sunday down
in the new country, near Lawton. He
was fortunate enough to acquire a
claim down there, and spent the day
on his farm, prospecting for coal, oil
and minerals, and expects to develop
into a Rockefeller soon.
Operator Gilbert takes a ten days’
lay-off February 1st, and will move his
family down near Sickles on his claim,
where he will proceed to do the farm-
ing act. We are sorry to lose Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert, as they are very popular
with Geary citizens, but we wish them
well in-their new home.
The Choctaw Northern ran a special
train to Watonga Tuesday night, to
accommodate those desiring to attend
the fancy ball at the “hub.” Ranker
Dillon was in charge of the party, and
they all report a pleasant trip. ^Con-
ductor Nicely had charge of the train,
and gaye them a merry ride, return-
ing them all safely home at two o’clock
next morning.
The Up-to-Date club held a pleasant
meeting Wednesday evening. Their
next meeting will be held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Dillon, as the lady was
initiated at last meeting, and she pro-
poses to entertain them royally next
Wednesday evening. Particulars next
week, as we are unable to secure pro-
gram at this meeting.
The Choctaw Northern boys have
moved, bag and baggage, intq:-their
new general office building, and are
now comfortably located. The new
quarters is a two-story, eight-room
building, with modern, up-to-date
steam heat, and lighted by both gas
and electric lights, which makes the
boys a comfortable home. Saturday
morning an impromptu reception was
held for the public. Mr. Johnson was
master of ceremonies. An elegant
lunch, was served, with a plentiful
' supply of good Havanas, and every-
body went away very much impressed
with the kind treatment received.
The Shakespeare club held their
regular meeting at the residence of
Mrs. Gilbert on ^usday evening. It
was sort of a farewell, good-bye meet-
ing, as Mrs. Gilbert will move away
next month. The study was from the
fifth chapter of Hamlet, and a very
pleasant, instructive and social time
was had. The next regular meeting
will be held at the residence of S. E.
Huff Tuesday evening, and a full at-
tendance is desired.
Conductor Woods has now in his
possession a baby, which was left on
his train. The woman got on at
Weatherford and off at Parkersburg.
Mr. Wood wired Sup’t Barnes of his
tlnd and asked what to do with it.
Mr Barnes answered to keep it, and
he still has it, and Woods’ baby is just-
now attracting very much notoriety
in the newspapers. The miserable
woman who deserted the child has not
been located, but It Is quite fortun-
ate for the little waif to get a prospect
of a good home.
Briefs. — Mr. Mawtln’s r’s are as
scarce as hen’s teeth .. Prince Albert
is now with us. He was introduced by
Conductor Baird, — Mr. McArthur,
of the building department, is'on the
sick list... .Cutter’s new bath rooms
are popular with the boys, although
the water is scarce.. .“Snow, thebeau-
tiful snow,” is with us. Trains late,
on account of cold snap.... .Mr. Huff
reports 2,551 names, and not through
yet. We will give the railroad popu-
lation of Geary next week — Some of
our over-zealous, good railroad friends
made a mistake, and we are sorry the
joke is on them. We are also sorry
and in fact everyboby is sorry, but
mistakes will happen. But in this
case the joke is on Eddie Fogleman, as
he got his right ear frozen, and had to
apply a turnip, and recently he had
his ears boxed, and he appears to be
always in trouble____We hope to see
you all at the opera to-night. It
Is expected that there will be a full
house, the private boxes having al-
ready been engaged by the general
office boys____We are indisposed this
week. Will try and do better next
time.

Geo. Terneus led out by telling of his
cowboy days in Illinois in the 6^’s
hunting buffalo. He said: “I was out
hunting one day when I espied 4 large
herd. I shot and wounded one and
the ugly brute made for me. I ran to
a tree just in time to save myself. The
brute made a jump at me and missed
me, thereby sticking his horn into the
tree. I made myself very small and
went down and out, leavingthe buffalo
sticking to the tree. I was back there
about twenty-one years after that and
the horns were still there, but were
15 or 16 feet from the ground, the tree
having extended skyward during that
time.” All this time George Berry
was still taking off his cap, and strok-
ing his long whiskers with his left
hand, said: “I was fishing on the
Missouri river one day when a fish, in
aiming to turn in the bend, dammed
up the river. I got hold of it and
dragged it out on the bank and cut it
open. There was seven acres of nicely
burned wood, two families and a boy
out digging potatoes.” L. S. Scott
