SALE OF MIDLAND.
Reported That the Frisco Rail-
way Company Bought 1t.
DEAL. ION TWO WEEKS
Story of Completion of Trade
Reached Here Yesterday.

1t has been generally known for two
weeks by railroad men and those who
take the care to keep posted on Wichita's
railroad interests that a deal for the
sale of the Kansas Midland to the Frisco
has been under consideration between
the officials of the two lines. Yesterday
It was reported that the sale had been
completed and that the transfer would
be made within a week, but the story
could not be confirmed a number of
officials in a position to know were
asked about the matter but declined to
say anything except that the matter had
heen talked Of. In the light of the fact
chat subordinate railway employees never
give out information in advance of the
word of superiors, there are some things
which go 10 confirm the story that the
rale has been made. In a letter to a
business man here a Midland official OF
st. Louis wrote concerning the roads
taxes that the Midland had been sold and
would be transferred at an early date,
when the matter Of taxes would be per-
nanently disposed Of He did not say to
what road or company or body of men
the property had been disposed Of. It was
known that the visit of General Passen-
ger Agent Bryan Snyder Of the Frisco
10 Wichita was in the interest of the pur-
chase of the Midland property by Mr..
Snyder's road With him were a number
Of Frisco officials. The Frisco has the
Midland under lease now, and if the sale
has been made Frisco passenger trains
will be run hereafter to Ellsworth and
connection made for western points by
way of the Union Pacific instead of the
Santa Fe, as at present 1t is reported
also that the extension of the Midland
contemplated and mentioned heretofore

will not be run further than some point
