Two weeks ago the INDEX announced
that work had commenced on the rail-

Then we were perhaps too previous, but
honestly so, having been informed that
work had started. Now, however, there
is no doubt, and full force of men and
teams are engaged and at work. The
time for completing the work has not
been set, but the general opinion is that
the cars will be here at the latest by

been slow in giving out the impression
that Medicine Lodge would not have a
railroad this year.
The contract for the railroad grading

here before November LIST.
