All Ready For Them.

The railroad officials are feeling very
uneasy over the close proximity of the
alleged Black Jack and his gang of des-
perados. Their suspicious actions in
the eastern part of the state has caused
the different companies to take extra
precautions to guard against a surprise.
On all trains running in the suspected
district lie stationed q guard of rangers
who go through the coaches OF a Jour
of inspection before starting and then
return to the express car. The G. Fl.
pay car is being held east of here until
the railroad officials deem it safe to
continue their journey. They have no
desire for a repetition of the robbery
of three years ago. when Wells Fargo
Express Co. lost $40, 200. A posse of
state rangers and deputy United States
m~arshals are after the gang and it is
hoped that they will soon round them
up.

his mouth partly open. suddenly came
to and asked:

The old time operator looked down
at him seriously.
You want to know what became of

letter from Billy afterward saying a
neighbor had poisoned the dog because
it had been chasing his chickens. Say

X TO BE TAPPED.
By Another Line of Railway From
Chicago-Arrangement With
Cotton Belt.

A Chicago dispatch says: In q com.
paratively short time Chicago will tar
the great southwestern country by an
other line of railway. The new route
is to be established by an arrangement
between the Chicago & Eastern ILL
nois ind the ST. Louis Southwestern,
known as the Cotton Belt. The con-
Meeting link of eighty-six miles that is
to bring these roads together and form
the new through system is now being
built by the Eastern Illinois from Ma
rion to Thebesville. When a few
monehs ago the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois began the construction of this
line to the Mississippi river, the object
was a mystery. 1t now develops
tnat the Oobject of the line from
the start was TO bring these two sys.
tens together for the purpose of form
ing q direct connection between Chi
csgo and a large portion of Texas that
ha- never heen touched oy any of the
direct roads from the city. Last year
the Cotton Belt built a new branch to
Grays Point, which is directly across
the river from Thebesville, where the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois new line
will end. For q time the connection
will be by ferry, though later on q
bridge will be built.
President Carpenter OF the Chicago
s. Eastern Illinois today confirmed the
report that the plans were as outlined
above.
It is said through passengers as well
by the new system as soon as it is in
working order. The opening Of the
line will take place in about NINETY
daYs.

SECURED LON6-TERM LEASE
Texas Central Will Run Over Waco
and Northwestern.

Waco, Tex, July 2S.-The Texas
Central Railroad company has secured
Q long-term lease on the portion OF the
Waco and Northwestern track running
from Waco to Ross station, q distance
of twelve miles, the lease to become
operative on the 10Th Of next month,
at which time the tracksge arrange
ments between the Texas Central and
the Missouri Kansas and Texas wi Ill
terminate and thereafter the Texas
Central cars instead of going from Ross
to Genoveva on a short spur and COM
ing to Waco on the track OF the Katy,
will use it's. own leased line and will
stop its cars in east Waco, as was done
prior to the arrangements mad sew
eral years ago, during the receivership
of the Waco and Northwestern.
The Texas Central owns several blocks
in east Waco space enough for
sidetracks and depots. 1t will soon
own sufficient terminal facilities In
East Waco to make it Independent.
The lease of the Waco and Ross track
was consummated two weeks ago, when
General Manager Hamilton was on q
visit to New York, He secured the
lease from the Houston and Texas
Central directors while in New York
and at the conference last night with
General Manager Quinlan it was
agreed that the change from the Katy
70 b Northwestern track should be
made Aug. Is. It will make an impor-
tant difference with each of the roads
affected by the change from the Katy
to the Houston and Texas Central by
the Texas Central in its trackage and
trrfic arrangements. The Texas Cen
trail has made great improvement since
Col. Hamilton became general
manager. Its rails and bridges from
Ross to Albany are now steel and It's
rolling stock Is second to none in the
state. 1t has forty miles of track under
construction from Albany to Stamford
and before frost falls it will reach into
the panhandle on its way toward the
Pacific slope.-Dallas News.
