Col. Uriah Lott, builder of the Tex

1886, OF which road he was for
number of years president. Col.
Lofts visit was quite informal,
being chiefly for the purpose OF

interviewed, but being OF kindly
and genial disposition, he did not
frown upon the natural inquisi-

anything. In fact, Col Lott passed
quite while, chatting pleasantly
with the editor, and let the latter
have some inkling of his mission
here.

Col. Lott admits that his visit here
is made in the interest of trunk

building from Red river to Browns
