There was general alarm in tow
this afternoon when the freight train
pulled In and one car was loaded witt
piles. Il was settled thing that thu
Santa Fe railroad was going right Oh
TO Saratoga, that the piles were for
culyert above the Turner mill, and
everybody had heard that the ties
had been contracted for and the road
was bound TO come before the ID. NJ.
& A. road could get a tie laid or real
" knew that they were going TO get q
bond. OF course, in the anxious
minds the Santa Fe folks knew all
aboDt it, There are plenty of people
talking about it yet tonight; all those
that have not been informed that the
piles were for Saratoga firm and not
for the railroad at all. Many farmer
has gone home tonight fully convinc-
cd that he saw the piles that was to
extend the road at once, aud regret
having voted for The bonds, as 1t
drove the road already here out. Per
haps the Santa Fe has bad more genu-
inc sympathy extended towards her
this afternoon than ever before or
likely to again. Those going farther
west will
Cross the prairie "a of old,
The pilgrims crossed the sea;
To make the west, as they the east,
The household of the free-in
wagons.

To-day kingman county voted upon
grautin- $i25 600 railroad bonds to
the -, n. & A. railroad. The TWO
townships heard from, White and the
Ninnescah. in which the city of King
man is situated. cast S6j votes, and all
of them, except about forty, were for
the bonds. This assures the bonds, as
the little opposition frem two or three
townships viii not cut much of a fig
urc in the grand result. 1t is safe TO
say there is nothing lacking on the
county part, and it only remains now
TO be seen how much backbone there
is TO the railroad, and how soon they
will build the road. While nearly
everybod; was willing and anxious
to vote the bonds, there is still some
doubt in the minds of many a to the
good faith OF said railroad corpora
ton. We can only wait and see. Mr..
President and Superin-
tendent, the bonds are ready for you;
give us the promised road.
Yesterday afternoon transfer
team belonging TO NJ. f. Payne, be-
came frightened at the freight
engine of the Santa Fc railroad. which
was switching upon Main street,
and ran in the ditch 10 the approach
of the bridge and upsetting the wag-
on, splitting several boxes of merchan-
dice under the high sidewalk and land
ing the driver high and dry. The
wagon was only slightly damaged and
nobody hurt. Those kind of accidents
have long been expected and will yet
result in something more serious if
the railroad persists upon using Main
street every day for two TO three
hours for switching purposes. This
aud the bridge is right in
the centre OF the town where hun
drcds of teams and pedestrians must
pass during the middle of the day,
and when all the switching is done, as
once before stated, it connot be un-
derstood why the company cannot
just as well do nearly all their work at
the other end of the yard and leave
Main street comparatively unob- |
structed? IL is fact that lady came |
near being run over this afternoon by |
the train backing down, no warning |
being given. Ii j. fair 10 state that it |
is generally understood that the train
men try TO accommodate themselves
rs well As they can under the cIrcum- |
stances 10 accommodate the pub |
lie, but until The work is
transferred 10 the east end not much !
can be done, and broken limbs and
and perhaps death will soon be the re-
.uli.
4 very fine and refreshing shower
passed over here ihis afternoon.
The town j. full of strangers and
trade j. very good in ali lines of busi-
