Two Eed Flags by day, two Eed Lights front of engine. , _ . _. . , ' , , .7 ,and two Eed Hags at night, shall be carried on the front of the engine to indicate that the engine or train is to be followed by another engine or train. The absence of a Red Signal at Redsignai? e ° points where such ii signal is usually shown will be considered a signal of danger, and trains must be brought to a full stop and the cause of the absence of such signal ascertained, and the train will not proceed until the way is known to be clear. 34. Two White Flags by day. two White Lights and two White Flags at night, shall be carried on the front of the engine to indicate in^front ofTn- *^at it is an irregular or wild train, but il must s ine - be distinctly understood that the White Signals 13 confer no rights whatever other than those of an irregular train : and it must be further under- A ^liitfc fluff t>6- stood that White Signals, carried on wild or ir- tween sections regular trains, running between two sections of train. regular trains does not in any way interfere with the rights of regular trains.

All Night Passenger Trains must carry two Eed Lights on rear car, and all Night Freights two or more Eed Lights on Caboose. Day Freight Rear signals. Trains two Eed Flags. Engines when running alone at night will carry two Eed Lamps on rear of tender. Eear Lights should be looked to frequently to prevent them going out. Instructions Concerning Signals. 42. Engineers, when nagged, will give two low blasts of the whistle as notice that the signal is seen, provided it is not necessary to call for brakes the instant he sees the signal. 43. Engineers when carrying Eed Signals, as per Eule 33, will invariably call the attention of the Engineer and Conductor of opposing trains, wherever met, to his signals by five (5) short blasts of the whistle, which must be answered by two (2) low whistles as an acknowledgment that the Can attention signal is heard and understood. When the re- to slgnai r s esp ° nd sponse is not given, the train giving the signal must stop and give notice, and whenever com- pelled to stop for this acknowledgment, the facts must be reported to the Superintendent. En- gineers will also give notice of their signals to Section men and Bridge men by five (5) short blasts of the whistle. When trains being met also have signals, they will answer by two short blasts and then call attention to their own sig- When flagged. 17 nals by rive (5) short blasts, which will be an- Bwered by the opposing train by two (2) short blasts: 44.

Regtilar Trains when carrying Eed Sig- R eg uiartrains n;iN and running in advance of time, will con- wm n confi 8 nuf tinue the Red Signals. It is understood that !HoftinIe! n Regular Trains in advance of time have only the rights of Irregular or Wild Trains while ahead of time, and when they fail to keep ahead of time they assume all the rights of the Regular Train which they represent. Regular Trains not in Re |dJance ai of carrying Bed Signals and receiving an order to time w . 11 * n . ot * ° ° ° carry white sig- rnn in advance of time, will not carry White nal8 - lalfl while ahead of time. |g Kngineera of Freight Trains running after dark will call for signal from the Conductor at whenCon- -.. , _, . -. ductor does not every Station where Side or lop Lights of Ca- respond to whis- . , ^ .,. r f , . . tie for side boose cannot be seen, r ailing to receive this sig- lights, nal they will assume that the train has parted and be governed by Rule 106.

Avoid taking the wrong switching sig- nal. ing signals — such as Red and White Lanterns, Red and White Flags and Torpedoes — must be carried in the Baggage car or Caboose of every train. 47. Flagging against trains means a man ahead of the train three-fourths ( f ) of a mile with Danger Signals. Those giving signals must locate themselves so as to be plainly seen, and make them in such a manner as to be readily understood. The utmost care must bv exercised by train men to avoid taking the w r rong signal when two or more trains are passing each other at >ta tions or in yards. Unless both the Conductor and Engineer are positive that the signal given is for them tney w^ill not move their trains until com- munication is made by word of mouth. SECTION THIRD. STANDARD TIME. Standard time. Variation of watches. How regii' lated. 48. The clock in the Dispatcher's office of each Division is the Standard of Time for such Division, and watches of all Conductors, Engineers and other employes of the respective divisions must be regulated daily by this standard. No excuse will be taken for variation of watches. The time will be regulated by telegraph from Dispatcher's office of each Division at 12 o'clock M. daily The Standard of Time for all Divisions and Branches east of Mandan is "Central " Or 90th Meridian Time; for all Divisions and Branches west of and including Mandan to Eeron, "Mount- ain" or 105th Meridian Time, and for all Divisions and Branches west of and including Heron. "Pa- cific" or 120th Meridian Time. compare time. 49. Conductors and Engineers will compare 19 their watches with the clocks at the points where their runs commence, and will furnish the time to Other employes on the road. BULLETINS. |9}. Bulletins will be kept at all Eegistering Stations. Additions to Bulletins must invariably be timed, and when they affect trains on line be- fore same can reach & Terminal or Eegistering ;<»n. must be telegraphed to them and their Acknowledgment taken. SECTION FOUKTH. RULES FOR THE RUNNING OF TRAINS. 50. The Trains are Classed as to priority of classification right to the road as indicated on the Time Tables, of trains. For the purpose of this book, trains will be referred to as "Superior" ' • IMS Trains. Superior Class Trains are First Class Train.*: Inferior <'la»s Trains are Second and Third Class. If necessarv to refer to Second and Third Class separately, the class in question will be specified. 51. Trains which have their time at stations What are reg- ular and what specified in lime lable are Resrular Trains. All are irregular . . _ trains. other trains are Irregular. 53. Whenever a train becomes twenty-four hours i 24) or more behind its own time, it loses all when a train right off rack, and can only proceed as an Irreg- (24) hours late. ular Train, as per Rule 71. 52 . All train orders received, excepting such as pertain to abandonments, expire when Duration of train- become twenty-four (24) hours late. Running orders given to Wild or Irregular Train- remain in force until ex. •cute. 1 or counter- manded. 53. On all Divisions and Branched of the Road, the Eastward and Southward Hound train orders. Rights 20 Trains shall have the right to the Road against all Westward and Northward Bound Trains, t the same or Inferior Class ; but no Eastward or Southward Bound Train must leave any Station or meeting point where by the Time Table it should meet a train of the same class, until live minutes after its own time per table, and this five minutes allowed for variation of watches must be observed at every succeeding station until it shall trams. have met the expected train. This rule is not in- tended to give any rights to a train of an Inferior Class against a train of a Superior Class, but is only to affect the trains of the same class in regard to each other. No portion of the five minutes al- lowed for variation of watches must be used by trains running in either direction. 54. The direction in which trains, on all braich° trains. branches and operated lines, are considered run- ning, will be indicated on the time card. 55. All trains of an Inferior Class must keep f o"t > of the keep out of the way of all trains of a Superior Tram's! Superi ° r Class going in either direction. 56. Trains of an Inferior Class moving in the same direction with trains of a Superior Class, must get out of their way by going on to the nearest siding. On Mountain Districts an Infer- abead of Supe- ior Train, ascending, will not precede a Superior Train, without orders, unless it has ample time to reach the top and report before a Superior train is due to leave the last telegraph station at the foot of mountain. 57. A Train must not leave a Station under Must not leave any circumstances, before its time as specified in the Time Table without a Special Order from the 21 Superintendent. When no arriving time is Specified, Passenger Trains may arrive at stations Passengers tlnvo (3) minutes, and Freight ten (10) minutes KLTnd 6 (or less, as may be sufficient for the purpose) j^jgjjjj ^ad ahead of their leaving time, in order to do station of time, business and leave on time, or let following sec- tions come in; provided they do not exceed the maximum speed prescribed in Kule 59. 58. The running time of a train is intended to be used in running, and not wasted at ^ "' Do not kill stations. Trains having slow speed will not time at stations. wait at stations to kill time, but will consume all the time in running, except as provided in Rule 59. The maximum Rate of Speed for Passen- ger Trains is one and a half (1 £) minutes to the mile. Stock and Mixed Trains three (3) minutes 8 peed Ximum to the mile. Freight and Wild Trains four (4) min- i » the mile, except as provided in Rule 1 99. See Speed Table, Page 76. 60. Passenger Trains meeting Passenger Trains, whether by Time Table Regulations or trSTSing by Special Order, will come to a fnll stop be- each other - tween switches and as near to each other as prac- ticable. Passenger Trains will approach all sta- tions with care, and will not pass the first switch at stations where trains of any class are being g ^ oyer met, without train being under perfect control. "Pitches. The rate of speed of all trains over switches shall be fixed by Division Superintendents on their sev- eral Divisions. r>l. Inferior Class, Wild and Working Trains Inferior will come to a full stop at stations when meeting ££ Sting any train. Tin-* ruk is hereby modified so as to strain. 22 stock trains P ermit Stock Trains meeting Inferior, Wild or rnferior^vfidof Working Trains, to pass stations at ten (10) miles work trains. p er hour; providing such Stock Trains learn posi- tively what trains are in waiting, and communicate definitely what trains they (the stock) are.

See Kule 56. 23 66. Leaving Time of trains is always to be taken for Card Time. When a train has but one t ime! partlnR time at a station such time will be considered as the Departing Time. 6?. The Full Faced Figures on the Time Fullfaced fig . Tables indicate the regular Meeting and Passing ures - places for trains. 68. Should it become necessary for a Superior Class Train to occupy the Main Track at a sta- tion or turnout, on the time of any train of the WhenaSupe . same .lass which by the Time Table should either ^dass train stop, meet or pass any Superior Class Train at such W- station or turnout, no signal shall be given to such approaching train except as provided in Rule 70. 69. Should an Inferior Class Train be com- pelled to occupy the Main Track on the time of any Superior Class Train, the Conductor of the Inferior Class Train must send out the proper An inferior T , class train occu- Daiiircr Signals to prevent accident.

If the Engineer cannot make sure that the rear part has stopped, he will proceed to the nearest siding, where he will leave the forward part of his train, after which he will Flag his Engine back to the rear part, presuming that it is still in motion, and taking mu^nlSVTe g reat care not t0 collide with it. As soon as the by 8 foJio°w W ing men u P on tne rear portion of the train discover train. that it has broken apart, they will stop it, and protect the front and rear by the usual Danger Signals.

If the new Card takes effect when certain trains are between stations, all such trains will Flag to the next Telegraph Station. It must be dis- tinctly understood that the moment a new Card takes effect the old one is thrown away, and if the new Card calls for trains that should have left the terminal before the new Card took effect, such trains have an existence from the very moment the Card takes effect, no matter if between stations, and all trains affected will not run against these trains without special orders. 108.

In moving Trains by Special Order, Each section each Section shall be taken and considered as a of a train con- ra d te r t e r d ain sepa ~ separate and distinct train, and shall receive and run only -under Special Orders addressed to its own Conductor and Engineer. 115. All orders for the movement of trains by telegraph will be addressed to the Conductor and Engineer, and written by the Receiving Operator on manifold paper, so arranged that three im- pressions shall be taken. The Conductor and Engineer addressed shall read the order carefully and, if understood, shall sign it, adding train number, which must be transmitted with it' den shall be ad- It will then be repeated back over their signa- traa«mitUd' tures to the Dispatcher, who will, if the ord» delivered. aad correctly repeated, reply, "Order Number" (give 37 number) "is O.

One impression of the order, when properly signed, will be given to Conductor, and one to Engineer. The third impression must be kept by the Oper- ator in his manifold book. Receiving Operators must not, under any circumstances, repeat an order back until the personal signatures of the Conductor and Engineer are first obtained. 115 J. Where orders are sent to a train at a non- Telegraph Station through the medium of the Conductor and Engineer of another train, the orders sent to Conductor and Engineer carrying the order will {gfegraph "Vtal send back their understanding to the Dispatcher; tions - the order can then be delivered to the other train and have the same force and effect as though signed by them. 116. All Orders and Messages relative to the movement of trains must be written in full, and no abbreviations used, except the telegraph abbre- viations.

A Special Order for the movement of train-, sen! by telegraph, has no force or value, until the understanding of the Conductor and Engineer has been repeated to the person giving i i- !• and been approved by him as "O.

Alterations, Interlineations and Erasures must not appear on orders delivered to Trainmen. Should it be necessary to make any change in etolnotlitowed! nrst copy, the Dispatcher must repeat the entire order, and a new copy be made by receiving Operator. 121. Not more than one person on a District or Division shall be permitted, at the same time, Only one per- . -~ . * . .. son can give or- to give Special Orders lor the movement ot ders. trains. 122.

At change of night and tors are chang- day Operator, the relieving Operator will sign hold- ing orders, and have them repeated to Dispatcher for his 0. K. 129. In giving orders against Passenger Trains, Dispatchers will in every case get the understanding from Conductor and Engineer of train having the right to the road, before moving any train against them, except at Terminal Stations, where Dispatchers may depend upon Operator, Green Signal and the signature of two or more responsible employes to the order. The signatures of Agent and Yard Master, with the Operator, are preferable, but. if they cannot be when giving obtained, then the signature of any other respond- passengertri?ni ble employe will answer. If it is not possible to 41 obtain the additional signatures without serious delay, and the train to be held is obliged to pass the telegraph office before it can leave the station^ then the Green Signal and the Operator's signa- ture can be used for moving trains against, but the Operator must secure the additional signatures as soon as possible. If, however, the train can pull out of the yard without passing the telegraph Office, then under no circumstances will trains be i against it until the three signatures are obtained to the order. 130. The general rule to be observed in mov- ing Freight Trains against each other is to obtain the understanding of the Conductor and Engineer of the train having the right to the road before running any train against them. If, however, the conditions are favorable for holding Freight Trams through the Operator and serious delays can be avoided thereby Dispatcher can depend upon the signature of the Operator, Green Sig- nal and Torpedoes to hold such ruling train when moving for orders at any Telegraph Station, other than aTa^nst'Vach the meeting point, and in extreme cases trains can In- held for each other at the meeting points by putting out Red Signals and Torpedoes 1,000 feet in both directions from the Telegraph Office in addition to the Green Signal and Torpedoes at the Telegraph Office-.

They are required to inspect the Genera] Bulletin Boards, as well as those in Round Houses, before starting from Terminal Stations^ 226. They will compare time with their Con- ductors before starting from Terminal Stations. They will also, when practicable, compare time with other Conductors and Engineers whom they may meet on the Road. 227. Each Engineer is held responsible for the engine under his charge, for the general efficiency of the machinery or working parts, the cleanli- ness of the same, and for the proper working of the air-brake. He must in no case carry exces- sive pressure of air, sixty pounds being the maximum pressure for from two to six car^ or seventy pounds for seven or more cars. They must report, on arrival at Terminal Stations, any failure of the air-brake, or any defects in the appliances connected therewith, and must know that they are in proper order before leaving such station. 228. Engineers and Firemen must be care- ful in the use of all property belonging to the Company, especially Tank Discharge Spouts, which must never, in any case, be pulled over or thrown from the tender while the engine is in motion. The spouts must always be allowed to empty them- selves before being thrown oif the tender, and they must also see that the spouts are properly secured before leaving. are take 71 '2'2\). Engineers must not take any wood or ooal at other points than those designated by the Proper Officer, except in case of emergency, when when they thev will inform the Superintendent of the J^Hged t0 Division by telegraph, and the Superintendent of Machinery in writing, of the amount taken and point taken from ; if from a car, the number and initial of car must be given. 290. Kngineers will use every precaution to prevent fire catching from their engines along the line They must carefully and frequently inspect nettings or other apparatus provided for • , j .l x. • j Prevent fire averting sparks, and see that they are in good on line. order. They will not throw out any burning waste or similar material along the line. SSL Engineers must close the dampers of their close dampen engines, and use as little steam as possible in J.^ n e8 crossing errasiftg all bridges. 232. Engineers must pay particular attention to the various Signals displayed by Bridgemen, Pay attention Trackmen and others. When a Danger Signal is shown, never receive instructions concerning it until you come to a full stop. && Engineers will not allow any person not employed upon their engines to ride there, ex- Mustnotaiiow oepl the Officers of the Road, the Conductors of ride on engines. their trains, the Supervisors of Bridges and Track, and as provided in Rule -290. % 9j 2Si» The number of cars assigned as the ordinary loads for engines, is fixed with a view to the general grades of the Road. Between cer- Numbe r of tain points, where the grades are favorable, more cars per train - oao frequently l>e hauled. Engineers must be in.' 1 accordingly, and must co-operate fully 72 with Conductors in this matter, both striving to advance the interests of the Company. 235. Engineers will report without delay to their Conductors, all the facts connected with inf persons* etc" the striking of any person, animal, wagon or the like, upon or near the track. Also any negli- gence on the part of their Brakemen. 236. In cases where any injury is done to any Person, or Team, or to any Live Stock, or where of M acc k iden!r[o Property is damaged, the Engineer will make out superintendent. his own separate re port of the facts to the Super- intendent of the Division, in addition to the Con- ductor's report of the same and upon the same form. 237.

In case of disability of Engineer, the Fireman* if considered competent by the Division Master Mechanic or Foreman. may be authorized to complete the trip in his stead. 240. When any unusual defect is observed in the Track, the Engineer will stop and examine the Defect in track. cauf ^ and . f ungafej the Conductor shall notify the Sectionman in charge, and leave a man with proper Signals to warn approaching trains, until the tr;uk is repaired. 241. Engineers must protect front end of train inding the Fireman out as Flagman when no other Flagman is available. When the Engineer cannot see the Signals on side of rear car, he will call for them to be displayed by giving two long and two short blasts of the whistle (seeKule36), and if Signal is not then displayed, will consider thai train has broken in two, and will be gov- erned by Rules 106 and 244. •24*2. Engineers when applying the Air-Brake must not use the full pressure of the air except in eases ol emergency. For ordinary stops the air most be applied slowly, and at a sufficient dis- tance from the stopping place to enable them to stop without discomfort to passengers, sliding the wheels, or injury to the machinery or the train. 243. When the Air- Whistle or Gong on En- gine is sounded as a Signal to stop at Flag Station the Engineer will answer by two short Masts of the whistle. (See Eule 36.) '244. Engineers or Firemen should look back frequently to Bee that all is right; and in ease the train i- broken apart, great care must be taken, to keep the forward part out of the way of the detached part, and every precaution used to pre- vent a collision. Engineers will in till oases go bach after the detached portion, with their en- « under the protection of a flag, but must be absolutely sure that the detached part has Trains coming up behind will wait indefinitely, unless otherwise ordered by ihv Su- perintendent Protect front of train.

Firemen belong in the Department of Motive Power, and, in all things relating to that To wh department are strictly responsible to, and receive sponsible, their instructions from, the Superintendent of Machinery, or his proper representative; but in all matters connected with the road service or train rights and duties, they will receive their instruc- tions direct from the Superintendent of the Divis- ion under whose orders they are at all times subject to, after crossing the turn-table for service. '2V.K While on duty they are subject to the directions of their own Engineers, and will obey obey Engineer. their instructions and render them such assist- ance, in the performance of their duties, as may be practicable. 860. They are required to be at their engines, at starting points, in time to have them out of to^^^ttmt the house forty-five minutes in advance of Time Table leaving time or sooner if necessary. 25L In addition to the performance of their regular duties, they will, in cases of emergency, Act a8 Flag . act as Flagmen, as required by Eule 241, or per- man - form su how they are broken or lost; and it broken or lost ^y eareless- - iperintendenf of the Division can 80 require the guilty party to pay the cost price of the same. 261. No employe, whatever may be his rank, is allowed to take, for his own use, any Company propria^ °co!£ supplies, material or other property, whether con- pany'a material, gidgj.^ f va i ue or otherwise.

Agents at Way Stations must go over their yards at least once every day ami pick up pany's property, all links, pins, grain-doors, or other property o£ a similar nature, and store the same in a seen re place for future use. 878. Agents who have authority to employ assistants, or laborers, are required to keep their force cut down to conform to the amount of business done. This they are expected to do Unnecessary . , . . i , assistants. without waiting for a special order from the Su- perintendent. Every Agent who fails in thin re- spect neglects his duty. 274s Agents will see that their subordinates Exercise cour- exercise courtesy in their dealings with the public and with each other. 275. In weighing cars they must in all cases be uncoupled at both ends and stand entirely alone and motionless upon the scale. When the weight of an empty car varies 200 pounds from the weight marked on the car, Agents will tele- Weighing cars, graph at once to Division Superintendent, giving full particulars (number of ear, number of train, weight marked on car, weight as shown by scales, etc.), to enable him to arrange with Superintend- ent of Machinery to have car remarked with correct weight at end of run. 276. Station Agents will at once report, in Report irreg- writing, to their Division Superintendent all matters interfering with the interests of the Com- pany or prompt dispatch of business, and all ir- regularities of conduct or neglect of duty on the part of employes. They will be held particularly for e accideni to responsible for accidents to freight or other prop- erty, occurring through deficient facilities that they have failed to report to their Superintendent 277. They will not allow a car to stand up- on the Main Track to be loaded or unloaded, without special permission from their Division Superintendent. ','7S. Agents in flagging trains for passengers or freight, will display a white flag by day, and a white light by night. In flagging trains for other purposes, use green or red flags or lights, ■S per Rules 31 and 35. If, from any cause, Agents are required to use the white signals for other pur- than above described they must swing the signals violently. *J?9. Station Agents are held responsible for the safety of switches, which must always (ex- oept when a man is standing by) be kept locked and right for trains running on the main track. (This is not intended to relieve Conductors and others from care of switches they may use; who- ever throws a switch upon side track must see it set back on main line.)

It often becomes a duty to administer to the suf- ferings of those who meet with accidents on the line of the Road, as hours must elapse, frequently, before surgical aid can be reached; since much of the country through which the Road passes is sparsely settled. It is in these cases of emergency that great service may be rendered to the wounded in relieving them of pain, in preventing permanent Aidinemerg- disablement, and perhaps even in saving life. In r to accomplish these ends, the following in- tious are appended, substantially the same as those prepared by Dr. John W. Trader for the of the M., K. & T. R. R., and by Dr. Bancroft of the Denver & Rio Grande R..R.; and a small box containing a tew medicines, band- entrusted to the care of Train Con- due; If these instructions are not fully understood, additional information is desired in reference encies.

Also, keep the feet warm. bone. 97 INJURIES TO THE CHEST. When one or more ribs are broken, seat the patient in the chair, with his arms around the neck of an assistant, who will lift up until the patient's Broken „b8. body is on a stretch, then apply the wide bandage, taking four or five turns, pin snugly, then lay the patient flat on his back. FRACTURES. When the collar bone is broken, tie the shoulder back by bandages passed under the arm and over Broken collar the back, like a figure eight, Q then put the arm in a sling, slightly elevating the elbow. When the long bones are broken, as arms or legs, pull the limbs as nearly as possible into proper shape, observing this rule: When the broken bone is bent towards a right angle, and shortened, extend by pulling in direction of the angle until the ends of the bone approach each other, then straighten the limb. When the ends of bones have been thrust through the muscles, you must first release them from this unnatural and painful position before attempting to straighten them. The following diagram will illustrate: Broken arms Broken legs. Frnrtured bone entangled in the muscle. l Fractured bone released. Fnulurr al. 98 When a fractured limb is reduced and placed in something like its natural position, there should be very little pain; neither should there be much pain in reducing a fracture if the proper care and gentleness be observed. Fractures should be adjusted as soon after the injury as possible. After you have straightened the limb out parallel with the body, make it fast — if a leg, to its fellow; if an arm, the bandage should encircle the body. Fracture should be firmly held by the bandage, so as to avoid too much motion in the broken bone, but care must be taken not to bind unevenly and too tightly. In case the patient is not to be moved, there is no necessity for binding the limb, but allow it to lie in the most comfortable position, covering it with cloths wrung out of warm water. DISLOCATION. Many, and nearly all, of the dislocations can be reduced by attending to them immediately. The fingers, wrist and elbow joints, by gently pulling on them, and at the same time, pressing them in- to place. The shoulder, when knocked down, is easily reduced by grasping the dislocated arm and Dbtoeatioiu. elevating it over the patient's head, then let some one place both thumbs under the joint in the arm- pit and press up firmly, while the arm is brought gently but firmly down until it is parallel with the body; then put the arm in a sling, slightly elevating the elbow. CRUSHED AND BRUISED LIMBS. By far the greater number of railroad injuries are of this class. Fortunately, there is very little 99 danger of severe bleeding. The treatment is to immerse the injured limb in milk-warm water, or envelop it with cloths wrung out of warm water. Do not bind a crushed hand or foot. h SXbl nd Sometimes the pain is very intense when the mtem awakens from the shock. In this case, give fifteen or twenty drops of laudanum, as al- ready directed. BLEEDING WOUNDS. Bleeding in wounds may be stopped, ordina- rily, by binding a compress over them which has previously been dipped in cold water. Should the wound, however, be bleeding profusely (spurt- ing blood), crowd into the wound some styptic wool, and then apply a bandage firmly over it. If this method fails, and it be a hand or an arm that is injured, place the bandage loosely above the elbow three or four inches; if it be a foot or a leg, place it four or five inches above the knee, but if the bleeding is in the upper arm or leg Bleeding, how aj.ply the bandage above the wound, after which observe this rule: Put a large cork or a hard roller bandage on the inside of the limb under the bandage; then place under it, immediately on top of the cork or roller, a small stick or lead pencil and twist steadily until the hemorrhage stops. Care should be exercised that this twist is not Brmer than is required to arrest the bleeding, nor <(.iit inn.' longer than is necessary to reach ex- ienced help. BURN8 AND 8CALDS. Soft cloth-, dipped in the vrhite "I 'eggl beaten up with swi-H '»il. may he applied t<> relieve pain; Hums and scalds. Frostbites. Ruptures. 100 or a solution of bi-carbonate of soda (baking soda, which can generall y he found in every bouse), made by disolving three or four tablespoon fu Is in one quart of water, may be applied in the same manner. Internally give laudanum (No. 1) to relieve pain, and if the burn is extensive, give also strong coffee and whisky and ammonia mixture ( Na _ FROST-BITE. Remove the person frozen to a cold room and immerse the frozen parts in ice water, or care- fully rub them with snow. Care should be taken not to scratch nor break the skin. From one- half hour to three hours should be spent in re- moving the frost from the affected parts. Alter the frost has been expelled, the patient should be removed to a comfortable room, the limb elevate* 1 and lightly covered, and cooling lotions applied. If vesicles appear, equal parts of lime water and sweet oil may be applied. RUPTURE. Sometimes after a severe strain a tumor sud- denly appears in the groin, and not unfrequently extends into the scrotum. Whenever this occurs place the patient on his back in a recumbent posi- tion, with the limbs flexed; then place the band on the tumor, and press gently obliquely upward and outwards. When it is reduced, keep it in posit ion until you find a surgeon. When, however, it is not easily returned, do not use violence, but make applications of cold water until the services of a surgeon can be obtained. 101 NOTIFY SURGEON. Whenever an accident occurs on the line, the Conductor must immediately telegraph the Sur- ge ^J nc 8 e ur geon in whose charge the injured person is to be placed, in order that time may be given to pre- pare for reception of the patient. TRAMPS INJURED. In cases of injury inflicted by trains upon in- toxicated persons on the track, tramps stealing injuries to rides, etc., where the employes of the Road are in tram P s no way to blame, the injured persons must, of course, be carried to a station where humane and proper treatment can be bestowed; but, as such persona are generally without means, it is not advisable to take them out of the county in which tin- accident occurs. All such cases should be placed under the care of the county authorities where the injury occurred, as early as possible. In no instance are they to be removed beyond the limits of such county without express orders Not to be re- ^ ' moved from t<>t hat effect from the Division Superintendent; for, county. if removed beyond the county limits, the Eailroad Company may be held responsible for treatment ami support USE OF LIQUOR. The continued, or the excessive periodical use malt or alcoholic Liquors should be abstained from l.y every one engaged in operating the road ilv on account of the great risks to life and liquors property incurred by intrusting them to the over- sight of thos< whose intellects may be dulled at Avoid use of 102 times when most care is needed, but also, and especially, because habitual drinking has a very bad effect upon the constitution, which is a serious mat- ter for men so liable to injury as railroad employes in'urious re- a ^ vva y 8 are - It* 80 lessens the recuperative powers 8UltB - of the body that simple wounds are followed by the most serious and dangerous complications. Fractures unite slowly, if at all, and wounds of a grave nature, such as those requiring the loss of a limb, are almost sure to end fatally. No Em- ploye CAN AFFORD TO TAKE SUCH RISKS, AND THE Railway Company cannot assume such respon- sibilities.
