Change in the Management
of the North-W estern

This week occurs q radical change
in the managerial department of the
Chicago & North Western railroad
system. Through the resignation of
s. Sanborn, who has grown old in the
company's service, as general superin-
tendent, there will be an almost com.
plete change in the personnel of the
management, and many persons will
receive promotions, but by persons
posted in railroad affairs it is claimed
there will ensue from the change, but
little if any deviation from the policy
that has been for years observed in the
mode of conducting the affairs of the
company.
w. A Gardner, who has for years past
served in the position of assistant sup
erintendent, is by the change promoted
to the superintendency. r. II. Ash
ton, formerly superintendent of the
Iowa division, is now assistant superin-
tendent, F. A. Branden, succeeds Mr.,
Ashton as superintendent of the Iowa
division, and w. o. Litten, assistant
superintendent of the Iowa division is
now superintendent of the western
Iowa division with headquarters at
Lake City.

check the fire almost in it's incipi-

loss was comparatively nothing as
the barn was unoccupied The

ton of Shannon's injuries. the police
incline to the belief, that 80 far as
concerns the shooting the men under
arrest have told the truth. In passing
through Shannon's leg the ball hal
straight course and not semi perpen-
dicular one, as would have been the
case had the ball come from point

on the case, the two men we're on 9
