Saturday an engine arrived to pull
this stuff to lola, and all this week
men have been busy loading material
here and sending it to the west end of
the track. All the material required
to complete the track and numerous

A Needed Improvement.

AS a REGISTER reporter wended his
way homeward last evening he saw
five ladies waiting for an east bound
street car. 1t was about 10 o'clock
and the stores were closed, so the
ladies had to wait on the street and
they we're resting their weary feet by
occupying a drygoods box on the
south side.
Which strikes one as hardly the
proper way to treat visitors to the
town. If there is to be any consider
able delay in building waiting room
and by the way what has become of
the eplan-comfortable seats should be
provided for the accommodation of peo-
pie who spend the evenings here. The
ladies were evidently embarrassed at
being seen in such a predicament at
that hour.
And another thought comes in this
connection. 1t has been suggested re-
peatedly that some way ought to be
devised to indicate up town when there
is a car at the west end. The group
of lights on the south side indicate
whether the line is still in operation.
Why could not red light be install
ed in the group and when a car passes
to the west have someone turn on this
light, and when it goes east turn the
light.
Something ought to be done for the
accommodation of people using the
car line at night.

f. V. Crouch Sues for s7.745.69

Last week Thompson q Thomp-
son, attorneys for j. V. Crouch, filed
suit in the district court for 81, ,745. 60
damages from G. w. Baumhoif for
alleged breach of contract in con-
structing and equipping the street car
line. Some time ago Mr.. Crouch sued
for his work time and money spent in
helping build the line and attached
some $50, 900 worth of the roads stock
owned by BaumhoiT and sent here to
have changed on the books. He still
holds this under attachment and be-
lieves he can collect the other sum If
the court allows it.
There are three principal complaints
made in the petition. The first is that a
man was sent here to set upthemachin-
cry who knew nothing about it, put il
up wrong, the wheels, shafts and cogs
failed to work smoothly, the engine
broke down and the line was stopped
thirteen days. For this, the expense
of repairing and overhauling the en-
gine, he asks 81 $50.
Secondly old motors were put on the
cars instead of irst-class new ones
The loss and repairs OF these and the
cost of new ones, $4, 900, are put in the
bill.
Thirdly, the boilers were not sci
properly, which is figured to damage
the plant $3.50 The total damages
asked Is as stated above.
