claim agent on the l. G.. road left
last night for Chicago, on business
connected with his Office. Mr.. Nc
Carley's territory will be increased

1. G. road. His many friends here,
where he was born and raised, are
glad to hear of his good fortune, and
extend congratulations.

1t was cloudy and very dark. Mr..
Mckenzie took the matter as a joke
at first, supposing the men to be
some of his friends around the hotel,
but he soon found out that they
meant business and he was compelled
