The thing that the employees of
the road would like to know is,
what has become of the last three
months earnings of the road. 1t
was not paid out for the steamer
for she is tied for back pay; it was
not paid out by any order of the
court; nor was it paid to the men
on their wages. Before Judge Full
lerton accepts Receiver Hadley's
resignation he should compel him
or his bondsmen to show where
these earnings have gone, and they
should be compelled to show that
they have gone in legitimate chan
nels, too.
And now Receiver Hadley has
sent i'll his unconditional resigna-
ton as receiver of the O. =, This
simply means that this man Had
ley has sucked the thing perfectly
dry and now wants to get 1t off his
hands, what a roaring farce this
whole Hadley business has been
anyway, The Hoggs were thieves
all right enough in the minds of all
honest people but they were not
such unrenittent wind bags as this
man Hadley and his boss striker
Mulcahp were, Why it has only
been about three months ago since
this pair were going up and down
the state telling about how they
were going to build the road over
the mountains themselves at very
early date, and now look at the
outcome of it. They have run the
thing entirely in the ground and
have to retire in a most ignomin-
ious manner. Great railroad men
they are. Exit Mulcahyl Vale
lladleyl No mourners.
