missing connection at the end Of the
road. Passengers for the J.. 81 n. are
required to lay over at this place n
hours. No one can blame the l.. &
y. people for not waiting for freight
train. No first class road will do
that. Passengers not only miss con-
nections but the L. S. Mail also has
to lay over ~ hours. The matter is
nov being put before the L. S. au-
and they will evidently
make some arrangements regarding
the mail
There is very bitter feeling
against the road in this section for
his action and unless better service
5 furnished the road will greatly in
ure itself.
