President of the road announced that
the extension OF the Wichita Branch
was out. of the question at present,
there being no real demand for the
outlay OF money, and that as to the
Walnut Valley, it would take at least
one hundred miles to meet their prop
ositioDs. and that TO raise the necessary
funds In presidential year would be a
very difficult undertaking; that all the
company could promise was to start
the road this summer or fall, maybe
reaching as far as Eldorado."
The Wichita Beacon, referring to the
above meeting OF the A. T. & y. Fe,
says: 'tNothing definite was decided
upon. The delegation from each coun-
ty stated to the board what they were
ready and able to do. The railway
authorities replied that they would
give each proposition careful and de-
liberate consideration, and would be
ready to answer definitely in about
sixty days."

fell backward, and being unable to
rise, checked 70 death. Mr.. Stout
thinks the accident would not have
happened had a halter been used. The
