Engine Headlight Illumi
nates For ?6 Miles.!
Tyrone, Okla., Oct 10.—From
7 to 9 o'clock each evening the I
dozen homes of Tyrone are
lighted by the great headlight of
a Rock Island passenger train,
and the story of a traveling man's
discomfiture and the $2 it cost
him for cigars for the men of
the town explains the distinction
held bv this Panhandle
metropolis.
J. P. Bancroft, representing a |
Kansas City house, had been j
sent down here to establish a
new customer. He had finished
his work and intended to a take
night train back to Liberal. With
a half dozen men Bancroft sat
in the hotel balcony playing
cards. He looked down the i
track and saw a great headlight
looming up. He made a rush
for his grips and yelled for the
boy to take them over to the
depot quick. Bancroft rushed
up to the ticket window and
demanded a ticket for Liberal.
"How's this?" he said to the
agent, "I thought this train
wasn't due for an hour, and
here she is not a mile away."
"Mister," the agent replied,
"you had better go back to the
h:tel and buy cigars for that
bunch. I guess this is your
first trip down here. That
headlight is just forty-nine
miles away; you've got nearly
an hour to finish that game of
pinochle.
"This is the longest stretch of
straight track in the United
States—76 miles clear across the
panhandle without a curve. You
see that house over there?
That's where I live. I don't
have to light up until after 9
o'clock winter nights. About
twilight the Golden State
limited looms up down about
Texhoma and she shines right
into my kitchen window for an
hour, finally getting so bright
that my wife has to pull the
curtain, and 10 minutes behind
her comes the 34, and it takes
her 70 minutes to get by with
her light.
"It's a great saving for me,
and my wife now won't wash
dishes by anything but electric
light. I never have to call the
dispatcher to r et the time on
trains. I climb to the roof of
the station, get a line on the
headlight and make up my
j board accordingly."
