The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-11-23


Commencing today trains will leave via
the Santa Fe as follows, viz:
Oklahoma and Caldwell express 7:45 a. N.
Texas and Caldwell express $40 p. m.
Missouri River express coop m.
Kansas City express S:45 a. IN.
Chicago express 1000 a. m.
California and Colorado express 2:2Op. m.
The Wichita and Western will be so
changed that daily one passenger train
will leave in the evening and return in the
morning
The train leaving in the evening reaches
! Cullison, eighty miles west, some time in
the night, takes coal and water rests up
until morning and comes back. This
! leaves the west thirty miles of the road
without passenger train service and
quite naturally the people at Green's
burg and in every town on the
line are kicking with an enthusiasm above
the average. The passengers leaving here
in the evening for Mullinsville or Greens
burg spend all night on the trains or at
| Cullison, then take IA freight in the morn
| ing getting into Greensbnrg some time
during the day, provided there is no bad
accident and the machinery works. AS a
result the proposed change on the Wichita
and Western is commanding considerable
| attention among those most deeply con-
| cerned. The citizens of Greensboro have
formulated their wishes in a petition
which is signed by many leading citizens
in the town. and it reads as follows:
GREENSBURG, Kan, Nov. % 1890.
Allen Marvel, President Santa Fe.

ness men of the city of Greensburg, Kiowa

that the citizens of Kiowa county have
been friendly and loyal to the interests of
the road; they have voted very heavy
bonds for its construction and operation;
they have discouraged litigation against
it; they have favored it with laree share
of their patronage, and they are, for these
reasons and others, equitaOly entitled to
the consideration of its owners and man
