platforms of the stations and raising

finished long when President Lincoln
was assassinated, and 1t was proposed
that it be used in the funeral tram

faith in the new car than had most
other railroad managers, made the
necessary changes in their bridges and
platforms, and it was run over the line.
1t was afterwards put on regularly
and found to be a drawing card. Or
ders for more cars came in as rapidly
as Pullman wanted to build them,
and in 1867, the business had grown 80

a stock company.

ROBBED AND SHOT.
Robbers Relieve George Clark Of
Woburn of Watch and Money.
Then as a Parting SaIutation One Of Them
Shoots Him in the Ankle.

Woburn, Mass. Oct. 1S.-George Clark
of this city. was held up, tonight on a
lonesome road about a mile from the
Center, by two men who after robbing
him of SIT and silver watch. shot him
in the ankle.
Mr. Clark claims that the shooting was
entirely unprOvoked. as he offered no re-
sistance to the highwaymen. He was on
his way to visit friends and was accosted
by an unknown man. who asked for a
match. While hunting for 1t, Mr.. Clark
was seized from behind by a second man
and held while the first robber went
through his clothes, getting all his money
and his watch.
For some reason, the men seemed to be
very much put out, and as they were
leaving. one of them pulled a revolver
and fired, the bullet striking him in the
ankl. The men then ran off, while Mr.
Clark shouted for help.
People in a house not far off heard his
cries and cared for him. There is no clew
as to the identity of the robbers.
