NOT SATISFIED WITH RURAL DE-
LIVERY.
[Iowa City Republican,
The residents of the town of Sharon
Center are dissatisfied with the service
of the new rural free mail delivery and
stfe discontinuanceg of their town post
office. A petition has been prepared and
signed by 200 residents of Sharon Cen
ter protesting vigorously against the
discontinuance of their mail distribut-
ing station. They claim that the rural
free delivery is not satisfactory in the
proper distribution of the mail They
hold that the route Is poorly laid out
and that by far the greater number OF
the people in Sharon are badly served.
Sharon Center and vicinity is thickly
populated, more SO perhaps than any
outlying country section in the county,
The people in the vicinity have for
years gone to Sharon Center for their
mail. Since the establishment of the
mailroMes thru that country they have
become dissatisfied With the service
They claim that by far the greater
number of people inhabiting that yicin-
Iity live great way OFF from the rura
delivery road. Some reside one two
lstend that it is dangerous to have their
mailleft in outlying boxes on the mai
route.
| Those residing on8the rural delivery
lroaus are. however, content With theil
service and are not aggricved by thu
| recent change
4 Many inhabitants of Sharon Center
4 claim also that Iowa City wants the
whole thing and feel that the remova
| of the postottice from Sharon take:
away a great amount OF mercantile
business and transplants the traffic Il
Iowa City.
The dissatisfaction does not arise
4 however, from the service of o.. j. Cow
4 ey, the rural carrier in that district. He
does his duty and is not charged with
the present conditions.
The recent postmaster at Sharon
postoftice was T.. L. Yoder. and the of:
| flee served perhaps 200 people. who hat
become accustomed to securing theil
mail at that place.
! The Sharon rural route serves owe
1000 people directly. according 10 figure!
given by Carrier Q. j. Convey. The pc
titioners seem inclined to allow tn
rural route to stand, but also van
their regular postoiiice in connection
with it. The petition, as soon as com
plets. will Represented to the congress

was terribly injured. The petition
states that William Schneider was em-
ployed as flagman on the railroad be-
tween Malcom and Grinnell. He was
to flag all trains passing his station,
where the track was undergoing res
pairs. The plaintiff charges that on
June 10 he was at his station and that
No. "a, a passenger train, was thirty
minutes late. He contends that the
train approached at a great rate Of
speed and that he tagged the train.
When the train was still at a consider
able distance from the plaintiff. the lat
ter fell exhausted from sunstroke and
lay across the track. The palintiff
claims that the train did not slacken
speed. The plaintiff was thrown from
the track and terribly injured. He
claims that the injuries resulted from
the carelessness of the engineer in not
Stacking the train.

\ from a point about mile east of Bata-

\ the railway company, but where con-
demnation proceedings We're resorted to-
Hit would revert to the land from which
it was taken. II is probable that both

would be willing to dedicate 1t to public
