crat mt Wichita telesgaphed that rumo1
was current there that the 81. Louis, Fort
Scott Il Wichita railway, supposed TO be
controlled by tho Mits)u Pacific, had
| fallen into the bands Of the Atchison, To
p.ka & Santa Fe. A reporter who talked
| with s, or, tary Smith and Governor Brown,
of the Gould LINES, about the matter was
| told hy the former that tho Missouri Pa.
c,fc had never had the slightest interest in
the road, and by the lattor that the Santa
! Fe could not get control OF the line In ques'
ton If IL wanted 10. The story, therefore,
is manifestiy absurd. Another rumor from
the same source was that the Wichita &
Western road the Santa Fo's now straight
line from Wichita across the Great Bead to
| Dodge CITY, would be built no further west
than Cheney, thus implying an abandon
ment of the original project. From what
the reporter could learn his is az inbound
ed AZ he other story. The Santa Flo simply
stopped work when the weather became
