| The Western Railroad is not yet safe We
learn from the bad management OF the re-
, cent Radical rule. The $3.50, 900 or $46O,
= 900 mentioned 10y us before as being de
/ posted by Mr.. Lutterloh in New York, it
is thought may be in the hands of SWep-
f son, LiCtlefield and other plunderers and
+ adventures. 1t is claimed that $40, 900
: was advanced to Mr.. Lutterloh on these
mortgage bonds Of the company, and Mr..
: Lutterloh's order perhaps cannot recall
@ the bonds, even should he return the $40, :.
- 900 He should never have sold or con
veyed them of, and be had better never
@ been in the affair.
d The compaDyh has repudiated these bonds
S and can no doubt make good its action i'll
80 doing, but of course it would be bettel
g to recover the bonds and destroy them
t If the bonds were; fraudulent from the first,
S then the company can in no way be re
J., sponsible for the $40, 900 advanced fol
J. them. But all such unsettled and conceal
IL ed claims serve to pair credit aud delay
the road.-Faye Eagle.
