Two cars loaded with coal, off the
track near Carbonate Monday morning
threatened to tie up traffic on the Santa

just going on a switch leading from the
main track. Luckily they had gone far

around them, by using what is called
the house track, and in this way no de-

An attachment has been levied on
the Suburban Ditch by Geo. A. Miller,
through G. A. Lane, his attorney, for a
claim of 81 1866 for exoavating a por.
