"Ah, spare a cuss!' the tuber prayed,

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-01-31

There is a good joke on the Deere
* Mansur company people of Moline,
which is gust getting out, and the
best part of it is that the fault is all
their own, and the trouble resulting
from their own acts is what is bother
ing them the most. Some time ago
they purchased from the Rock Island
road the switch track and connections
in the rear of the foundry. This
switch had but one connection and
that was with the Rock Island road
near the Peoples Power company sta
ton. When the Terminal came along
back there it surprised the natives by
Just running its tracks over the top
of the Rock Island track. and putting
in derrick, lifted its track out of the
way whenever the c., Il. |. e p. road
wished to get in. The COrnpIantcr
company, probably at the instigation
of the Terminal, purchased this
switch short time back, and later
still resold it TO the Terminal compa-
ny. The Cornplanter company is
now reaping the reward, and it is not
a golden one either, finding it neces-
sary, in order to get freight shipped
over the Rock Island road delivered
at its doors, to pay 81 car switching
charges TO the Terminal company.
