Friday, passenger train going West
on the Green Bay road was delayed
by the breaking Of drive-wheeI axle
between Elm Lake and Dexterville
The axle is a steel bar six inches in
diameter and was broken off as neatly
as though it had been sawed off,
Channcy Bostwick, the oldest engineer
on the road, was at the throttle and
somewhat shaken up by the accident,
but the boys claim he always escapes
without being killed because he is not
wanted by either party in the great
beyond. However, Chauncy has train
load of friends on this side of the Jor-
don who love him dearly. Mr.. j.
W. Miller, master mechanic and su-
perintendent of the yard at this point
took matters in charge and the dam
age wall soon be repaired. In co nnec-
ton with the above we might add that
this road is now gradually gaining in
favor with our people and business
men generally. A new depot is about
the most necessary convenience requir-
ed at the present time. The manage
ment would do well to attend to this
matter.
