For A NEW RAILROAD

Huntington, w. Ia, April 26.-The
County Court has been hearing argu-
ments for several days regarding the
issuing Of fifty thousand dollars
worth of bonds to assist an in
dependent company to construct a rail
road up the GuyandOtte river. The
enterprise is sanctioned by the Cham
Der of Commerce and local capitalists
who have been working on this matter
for some time. Most of the fright Of
way has been partially obtained
through Lincoln and Logan counties,
and its building will not be so eXpen-
sive. The advantages of such a line
to this county and city are tenfold,
and it is for this reason that the gen.
tlemen are pushing it before others
come in. The court has not yet de-
cided on the case.

all the strikers, but the latter say their
position is strengthening. The COM

night, the strikers not interfering. The
company then announced that they
would run some regular cars. This
made the men angry and they attempt
ed interference but the police prevent
ed any trouble The fact that the
Court street line is able to run g few
cars is causing the strikers no anxiety.
Neither are the strikers at all alarmed
over the report that the managers are
importing men from other cities.
The mail service SO far as the street.
