Monday morning without fail, he put good

night passed without the men calling for

in town and We're recognized and promptly

These men had been cutting cord-wood near
Des Arc for several weeks, and though sus-

We take this from the st. Louis Evening
Chronicle of Saturday: ''The Ironton (Mo.)
REGISTER of April Sd contains thefollowing
item: "a gentleman informs us that the Vul
can Steel Works at st. Louis are being torn.
down preparatory to moving them to 1ronton
Can this be trlies" A CHRONICLE reporter
visited the Vulcan Steel Works this morning
and ascertained the following fact: In the
yards every thing is quiet. The buildings,
trestle work, machinery, etc, is all there; not
a thing is torn down or taken away. Instead
OF tearing things down a number OF men are
engaged in making repairs in the blast fur
nace. As far as the building and machinery
IS concerned things look exactly as they did
when work was or is going on in all the de-
partments. In looking at the cut from the
REGIS TER, one OF the chief officers laughing
" said: ut is all nonsense" Turning to
the reporter he continued: You just walk
around in the yard and look at the buildings
and trestle work. There is where the bulk
of money lies. You can judge for yourself
that it would not pay to tear those things
down and ship TO Ironton, as it would cost
more than it would to build anew. No, sir;
it is nonsense. / guess they have some lots
in Ironton that they want to dispose of; that's
why theyswrite such stuff" Well, that APP
pears to settle the rumors that have been cir
culating for six months or more-thanks for
so much. We don't know of anybody who is
particularly anxious to sell town lots, but we
could name half dozen citizens of Ironton
who would gladly give several lots to have
the works named brought here.
