NEW CONDUCTOR
JOINS THE GRRR
Gold Rush Gulch, Mar. 13.---
The Gold Rush Railroad welcomed a new Conductor this week, Kasey O’Kelly. Kasey comes to the GRRR from back East where he worked alongside his cousin Keystone Kelly at the Southwicks Department Store Company. Keystone as you recall gained national notoriety for his daring and sometimes comical kapers involving the capture of the notorious burglar, Harry Hooligan.
When asked about moving West to join the GRRR, O’Kelly said, “I was never one for crime fighting like me cousin. At Southwicks I was the one that had to clean up all the balls, radios and toy airplanes every time that scoundrel Hooligan ran though the store.” O’Kelly added, “That’s when the notion hit me to pack up me bags and move West.”
When asked if he has any concerns about the rumors that the GRRR will be transporting Gold Bars, Kasey said "Naw. I learned me a thing or two from me cousin Keystone about chasing hooligans. There won't be none of those shenanigans when I'm Conductor."
Gold Rush Gulch, Mar. 13.--

First, the celebrated police officer Keystone Kelly from back East will be visiting the area to take a much needed break from his Department Store duties. Keystone as you know is the cousin of the GRRR's new Conductor, Kasey O'Kelly.
