why this one refusPs TO do so is more than
we can understand. There were Ave or

that no excursion tickets were on sale TO

Among the various sales made IN Waxa-
nnchis that day were two straight cars of
goods from st. Louis. These ears form
erly were delivered over the Central, but
on our arrival in Dallas We wired our
houses careful instructions 10 ship over

This course as pursued by the Central
is Injustice TO Fort Worth aud can not
