Other News of the Roads.


Superintendent K. H. InneS. OF the
Southern Pacific western division, was
seen by LIGHT reporter yesterday after
noon, and when asked concerning the
announcement of his resignation, said:
Eyes, ii is now positively settled that |
have resigned my position on the South
ern Pacific. The resignation ia keS effect
on June l, and | will Immediately assume
duties as general superintendent of trans
pOrtatiOn on the San Antonio and Aran-
SaS Pass, to succeed Mr.. f. f. Nelson
In Mr.. lines the San Antonio Il Aran-
SaS Pass will have faithful and popular
railroad man. He has been railrCading
for over twenty-five years. He has been
with the Southern Pacific since 1873,
when he filled the position Of civil en-
gineer. When the road was being built
from Columbus to San Antonio, he had
entire charge of the track laying and
bridge building. A short time later he
was appointed fuel and stock claim agent,
after which he went in the train service.
He was agent for the 5. P. at Luling for
eight years and at San Antonio three
years. From San Antonio he went to
Houston, which was in the year of 1887,
to accept the position of trainmaSter. He
remained in Houston a little over year
and then went to Ell PaSO as Superinten-
dent for that division. He left Ell PaSO
three years ago next August and came to
San Antonio, whe.e he has made his
headquarters as superintendent OF the
San Antonio division until the present
date. In the year 1870 Mr.. Innes held the
position OF civil engineer for the old At
iantic and Pacific, now known as the 81.
Louis and San Francisco road. His head
quarters were at Springfield, Mo.
The above shows a clean record OF Mr..
lnneS' career as a railroad man, and one
that he can be proud Of.
