FUN ON THE PLAINS.
expbrihncb OF LOCOMOTIVE EN
GINE -*3 ON THE PLAINS.
In the Far West from the Days of the
Buffalo Down to the Present—And
the Stories of Various Wild Animals
That Get on the Track.
From the Denver Xews.
Many a strange story the locomotive en
gineers tell of their experience with animals
on the prairies of the far west. Between
the Missouri river and the Rocky moun
tains are the great plains, spreading out for
hundreds of miles. Probably in no part of
the country do the engineers come more in
contact with animal life. They have taken
the place of old jehus of the overland mail
and express in the more modern days of
rapid transportation. Often the old stages
were in danger of the great herds of stam
peding buffalo. The driver,express agent aud
prsseugers, all of whom were well armed,
only found safety in the sharp crack, crack
of the rifle. This would either turn the
buffalo, rushing with almost toe roar of
thunder over the plains, or would split the
herd, so that it would pass in two droves
on either side of the stage. It required
men of nerve, for sometimes the buffalo
would hardly swerve from their course uu
til almost upon the stage and passenger*
The rear of the herd, crowding and urg
ing oa the leaders, made it a difficult task,
testing the courage of the men who faced
them-
BUFFALO Ok THE TRACK.
The buffalo, or bison, more correctly
named, still roamed the plains after the
railroads came. The old engineers of the
Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific and the
Hanta Fo used to cut their wav through the
herds of buffalo. The blow of the whistle
and the discharge of flrearms would make
them scamper a way. Sometimes they would
blockade a train, but often raced with the
looomotive, giving f,he passengers an easy
char.oe to slaughter them. Trains were
also stopped to give passengers a chance to
kill them.
If buffalo could live and thrive on the
plains why nrt cattle* Thus the stockmea
reasoned and soon millions of oattle took
the place of the raDidly disappearing
buffalo and th >y were nearly as wild. The
buffalo, wild horse, antelope, deer, oattle.
sheep, wolves and other animals were along
the lines of the pioneer railroads. The well
fenced farming country of the east pro
tected the railway track from animals. But
not so the boundless prairies In the earlier
days, although the west has greatly changed
in reeen t years.
The rating of the locomotive with the
wild horse and buffalo is n thing of the past.
The buffalo Is almost extinct and the wild
horse is rarely found. Roping the wild
•orse used to be a rare sport, and quite an
industry. A few are still said to roam the
I.nramie plains and remote sections of coun
try.
But notwithstanding these charges, there
is still much of Interest to the engineer, as
well as to guard against, on tht great plains.
Recently at Holyoke, in Northeastern
Colorado, Dear the Nebraska and Kansas
line, I was detained oval Sunday. It is in
the heart of the plains country, and is the
division station of the Burlington branch
that extends from Holdrege, through West
ern Nebraska, Northeastern Colorado, to
Cheyenne, Wyo. Locomotive engineers are
good s.ory toilers, and many an incident
was related that Sunday afternoon of their
experience on the great plains. J. S. Wil
lard, who then pulled a freight train be
tween Holyoke and Cheyenne, I found an
□teresting talker.
ENGINEERS DREAD SHEEP.
"Sheep," he said, “cause more trouble
than any other stock. An engineer always
trios to guard against killing stock, but if I
had my choice I had rather run into cattle,
horses, hogs, or any animal, rather than
sheep. Many thousands of sheep are in the
great flocks that sometimes cross the weat
ert railroads. Where there are no fences a
quick turn in the road through a out may
hnd the looomotive mowing right through
them. It is well known that rheep follow
their leader. Notwithstanding the
moving train they continue to
rush under the cars, and some
times many are killed that the looomotive
never touched. They really oommit suicide
crowding under the wheels before the train
oan be s;o,ped. 8. me times over 200 or 300
sheep have been killed. But the wool gets
into the running gear of the engine, and
this causes the engineer more trouble than
the killing of other Btock. Sometimes the
engineer is compelled to stop and clean out
the wool that works its way into the more
delicate machinery. At the end of the trip
a search is also made for wool that may
have esoaped the attention of the engineer
in his more hurried examination.
CATTLE ARK CLUMSY.
“Next to sheep I think cattle are the
worst They are slow and clumsy. Take
it in the winter during stormy weather.
They often seek the railroad cuts for shelter.
Be as careful as you will, during a sand or
snowstorm especially, an engineer is liable
to run into a herd. These kind of accidents
the engineer is not compelled to guard
against sc closely in the older settled states,
where the traoks are well fenced in. The
hair from cattle also give some trouble by
getting into the machinery, but it is not so
bad for us as wool."
"Does not the locomotive give the en
gineer a pretty good shock when cutting
through a herd of cattle!”
"Not so great as one m gbt suppose. An
engineer told me that his engine had killed
seventeen cattle in a out, and he did not
feel a jar. Horses,” oontinued Mr. Willard,
"are more active and generally get out of
the way, and aocidents to them are not so
common. In a more thickly settled coun
try a horse iuside the track fenoe will often
race with a train. Hogs nocked off the
track are nearly always killed. Their legs
are short and body large, and hence Msily
struck in a vital part.”
"Wolves and coyotes are numerous, but
are rarely struck by an engine, Near the
Herbert ranch, east of Cheyenne, I have
6een a coyote on a wire fence, which seems
to have been thrown there by an engine.
The wolf of the plains is either oaugbt in
traps, or by sportsmen closing in on a pack,
in a drive. Sometimes they are killed by
ranchmen putting poison in the carcasses
of cattle and sheep. Wolve9 hamstring
and then kill stock. Coyotes suck the blood
of sheep. The wolf drive is a flue sport on
the plains. The wolf, wildcat and coyote
are quick, and jump from the track. But
the jack rabbit is less fortunate. The head
light has a strange fascination for this fleet
and frisky animal, and often they are
killed."
It might be added that engineers are
sometimes said to be blamed for the killing
of stock that a locomotive never touched.
It has been claimed that dead cattle, sheep
and horses have sometimes been hauled up
to the side of the track. their limbs broken
and carcasses bruised and the blame thrown
on the engineer.
WILD ANIMAL RED LIGHTS.
‘‘Yes, we have a gpod deal of experience
with wild animals,” he continued, “but not
•° thrilling as that of the engineers on the
western roads when the buffalo was com
mon on the plains. But there is enough
•till left of wild animal life to make it in
teresting. The eyes of the wulf, coyote,
wildcat, jack rabbit, poleoat and other ani
mals look like a red light when facing the
headlight. Did not these animals quickly
Undeceive us by turning their heads, an en
engmeer might think his train was being
flogged and stop his engine. There are
plenty of wildcats between Wellfleet and
Jtlwood, Neb. On Medicine creek they trap
for beaver. It seems to be a favorite flsh
mg plaao for beaver and coons. Yes, coons
will flb. They have little paths down to
the edge of the stream, aid there, soorotiug
themselves, ca-ch Ush with their paws.
A story was told of how a wolf caught in
u steel trap had escaped with the trap, but
Was agaiu caught by the chain beoomiDg
entangled in a wire fence. The engineer
stopped the train, and the express messenger
uuu mail clerk tried to kill it, but failed.
J. h ? rang the bell
t ' U,U Uu * ;ttd *
STORIES OF THE ANTELOPE.
The antelope still wanders, sometimes,
iFown into the section of wire fences. Being
unable to escape, this fleet animal runs from
tee tram, making one of the prettiest races
in the west. One engineer told a story of
how in Eastern Wyoming a pet auteloiie
was sept ou the ranch of a stockman. The
owner had two line doer hounds, but they
and the antel jpe were great frieuds. Often
-rom his cab window the engineer had seen
the antelope and the hounds playing to
gether. ®
Incidents were related by some of the
party of the slaughter of birds. In the
spring time prairie chickens, on a wet
morning, often sit on the rails and are
sometimes killed by the engine. Quail also
meet a similar fata Thousands of snow
birds are also killed. An engineer related
an interesting Incident of a meadow lark
that was pursued by a rmuse hawk. The
frightened lark took refuge on the running
board, having less fear of the engineer and
iirsmao than its enemy. It remained with
the engine till safe from the hawk, and
theu left its peroh on the running bnard.
Owls and mouse hawks are sometimes
killed by breaking through the glass win
dows of the ca*>.
THE FLEET-FOOTED SWIFT.
Engineer Willard again resumed, saying:
I think the swift is one of the most inter
esting animals on the plains. I saw one at
Akron, Cob, that was about 18 inohes long
and 10 inches high. It was reddish in oolor,
had a white belly and a bushy tail. It is
very fleet, as it name signifies, aud can out
ran a deer bound. Walter Baxter at Akrou
had one which ho sent to New York. They
feed mostly on birds. I have seen meat
held out to this one, but the swift would
not touch it. But turn your bead and tee
swift would grab the meat in a second. I
never beard of a swift being killed by au
engine. Prairii dogs? Well, they are pretty
thick, but they nearly always get out of the
way of an engine. The prairie dog," said
the engineer philosophizing, "is beiog driven
westward, like the Indian, by the maroh of
oivilization. The cultivation of tho soil Is
gradually driving the prairie dog from the
plains toward the mountains.”
A PET MOUSE.
A story was then told of Engineer Hurd
and his pet mouso, when laying the track
from Holyoke to Cheyenne. The mouse
found its way into tho engine and made its
home in the waste-box. Two or three
times a day it would leave its cosy nest aud
feed on the greaso of the swab of the piston.
The englneei and fireman made a pet of it.
The mouse was with this engine about three
months, it would run and play around
the oab and then seek its place in the waste
box.
As the railroads on the plains begin to
near the Rocky mountains the light atmos
phere extends the vision and you can see
further than in the murky, moist weather
of the east. An engineer from an eastern
read is at first greatly deceived as to dis
tances. At one section of the Burlington,
in Eastern Colorado, a headlight can bo
seen forty miles. A tenderfoot would think
it was not more than two or three miles
away. "In this elear atmosphere," said an
engineer, "when It seems that I am olose to
a headlight, I look to see If the reflection of
the opposite light is on the rails."
THE HAKE ATMOSPHERE.
At Stonham. CoL, a station on the Chey
enne brunch of the Burlington, there Is a
straight track of eight miles, where traius
meet half way for the side track. It took
seine new engineers a luug time to get used
to it. for at first they would slow up their
trains long before they were near the on
coming train, when at first seeiued so near.
Stories have been told of how new engi
neers have whistled down brakes on the
plains, in mistaking the morning star for a
headlight. There may be more truth than
romance in it.
