WHEN the Gould Syndicate purchased for the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad and all its property, the court made an order on the Union Trust Company turning over to.Gould everything the M. K. and T. owned and controlled. By an omission the court failed to name specifically the Boonville brige, and on this technicality the Trust Company insisted on retaining control of the structure and receiving its revenues The attorneys of Gould went into court and asked that the order be made more specific, which request the court at once granted. The bridge was turned over to Gould few days since.

It is triangular blade of iron, apparent ly cut from piece of boiler plate, rough. ly stuck into clumsy handle of African oak.
