ing over the ground with a view 20 or
ganizing an electric railroad between
here. Union City and Hickman. Just
now they do not wish their names men
toned, but they are in earnest and say
that electric cars running between these
points is one of the possibilities of the
first year Of the twentieth century.
They have seen parties here who have
local capital and claim to have fine en-
enlargement This company proposes
TO run fine, comfortable passenger and
freight cars. They propose 10 run a
freight department 10y which they can
carry farmers crop to town and deliver
coal and city goods at their doors. An
Enterprise man interviewed one OF the
parties and he says that 1t Is q sure go
and the prospects are that in one year
the road will he completed.
This will be fine for Fulton and our
county seat. and parties who have the
means should encourage it all they can.
There is nothing too good for Fulton

JOHN FOX, JR., MAKES SCENE.
HE CALLS HIS FATHERS > LA ~
LIAR-TO CONTEST HIS
MOTHERS WILL

John Fox. jr, son of the president OF the
Democratic Club. made a scene in the ffooa11
Clerks Office yesterday when he went theie "
file objections to the probate of MS mothei
will who did not mention him in the document
hut left all he- property to her husband Mr..
Fox was accompanied by his wife ana Dous4as
I.evien his brother-in-law. He met there
lanes Flynn. his fathers lawyer. who offered
the will for probate.
After fling his objections Mr. Fox turned 10
Flynn and said: Here. Flynn. If you ever give
out any more statements derogatory TO either
my wife or myself 1 shall knock your head on
What statements do you allude to? inquired
the lawyer.
You know" retorted Mr.. Fox
ct gave out no statements" said FLYNN
You lie. you did" was Mr.. Fox's reply. and
if I cannot get redress by law VIII tahe 'iie
law into my own hands"
Il should like to you lay your hands on
me- cried Flynn, "even if yor are John Fox $
SON."
Mrs Fox laid her hand her husbands
shoulder and Mr.. Levien asked him to drop the
subject. Mr. Fox then left the courthouse with
his wife and brother-in-law
In his objection to the probate of his mothers
will Mr. Fox alleges undue influence on the part
Of some one unknown to him. and also says that
his mother was of unsound mind when she made
the will and that the will improperly exc
cuted He saws that 100000 would be more
correct estimate of the value of her estate than
the $4,000 mentioned in the petition for the
probate of the will.
Mr.. Fox said yesterday: After my marriage
my wife and my mother were the very best or
friends My wife lived with my mother at her
country place, Foxhurst. Baldwins, Long Island
My wife left there offended at the unkind and
unmany conduct of my father My mother
pleaded with her TO remain. but my wife was

benc hastily drawn by the Street that an under
standing had been reached that no further cuts
should be made. Sugar stock went bounding up
