author we could better Judge OF his oh
lpct In the cunningly framed advice
Public opinion snys Or. Calder Is the
nutGor lfsO, we can talhom ma p1r'
nose. Let IA see II the cont Hts the
doctor We know that he was u presl'
deut Of that r0ah once, aud brought II
tp n dead halt for some years ny strip
plng Il OF IT, subsidies, and swamplhg
n debt. Lately he haa received as
lateral To ma old MORTGAGE foI SiO,-
!, 500 900 OF the FIRST mortgage land
10 bonds Of the road
Those 500, 900 bonds were pledged by
Henderson Tor the payment OF the
first five miles Of iron rails brought
here Il year ago by DR.. Reed, These
bonds ARE now in the hands OF DR..
Calder instead OF DR., Reeds, aud
against his earnest protest, ana in
violation OF Henderson's contract with
DR.. Reed.
How comes this? What legerde'
main has brought this injustice to
DR. Reed ?
The answer will come bye and bye,
1t is said that DR.. Calder controls and
will vote the majority Of TIE
stock ofthe road at the new election
on the Sth of January proXimo, and
that he will fill the board with his
chums. This majority of stock is Mr..
henderson. He may be here to vote
il, or may not DIR. Calder says he eX-
pects TO vote it.,
If the road crosses the county line
in due time, the city will get nifty
thousand dollars more Of stock, ana
Dr. Calder would not be able to make
the new board by the stock now held
in trust by tue Kansas Rolling Mill
Company, for whom DR.. Calder is now
agent.
AZ matters now stand, DR.. Calder
can GUST the city and all small stock
holders from the control Of the road,
if he can vote the Henderson stock, rs
he Says he can. If the road crosses
the county line next week, DR.. Calder
may not own the lCad. The story |
about an agreement between Mayor |
Cabell and DIR. Reed, il all myth, the |
facts being the very reverse DR.. Reed |
knows his rights too we'll to make such |
II silly agreement, He wants TO so to
Lewisvile with the road, il he can. 1t |
is to his interest to go there.
But he will not compromise his |
rights, growing cut Of II plain ordi'
nance of the city Of Dallas, and eX-
pendtures in the Dallas and Wichita
road to twice the amount the city |
bonds are worth in cash | trust your
city readers will watch the develop
ments that must soon Como concern
ing the Dallas ana Wichita railroad,
and its crucitiers. More anon
