WANT NO. II AGAIN
Ottumwa Merchants Present Pet
ton to Burlington Officials.
CLAIM BUSINESS Has SUFFERED
Effort Being Made to Have Night Lo.
cal Train Restored to its Old Run.
ming Scheduie-Many Signers to Pc
tition Have Been Secured.

movement is on foot among the
merchants of the city to induce the
Burlington officials to return train No.
III to it's old running schedule prior
to the issuance of the new time card
on November 80, when that train,
which was then run to Creston, was
discontinued west of Ottumwa and
was held here over night, return
ing as No. 16 in the morning. There
is now no local train running west at
night and the merchants claim that
the taking off of this train was a great
detriment to the business interests of
the city. There is now no local train
for the west after train No. 8 at 1850
p. m. until No. 8 in the morning at
sos o'clock, and this makes it almost
impossible for the residents in the
towns on the Burlington system west
of Ottumwa to do their shopping here
and return the same evening.
Many Sisners to Petition.
The petition is signed by the ma
jority of the business men in the city
who are in position to receive any
benefit from the trade of the residents
in the adjacent towns. The merchants
intend to bring every possible means
in their power to bear on the Burling
ton officials in an effort to induce them
to return No. IL to its old running
time. The towns west Of Ottumwa
are also anxious to have the train re-
stored and pressure will probably be
brought to bear from these points to
secure the restoration of the train.
In Ottumwa, the merchants say, the
loss of trade has been most marked
as the only possible chance the OF
tumwa shoppers in the towns west of
here have to buy in this city is to
come in on train No. 10 at 1870 a. M,
and return again at 1.50 p. M, and
this leaves them but little over two
hours to do their buying. If this train
is missed it is necessary to catch a
freight west, which is not always pos
sible, or wait until No. 8 in the morn
ing. 1t is not known whether or not
the efforts of the Ottumwans will meet
with success; it is hoped, however,
that they will be successful in attain
ing their end.
The Petition.
The petition which will be present
ed to the local officials is as follows:
To the officers of the c., B. & @. R.
r. Co., OttumWa, Iowa.
Gentlemen
The undersigned business men of
Ottumwa would respectfully petition
that you return the local train No. IL,
just taken off, running west from this

been arrested, the former here and
the latter at Syracuse. Gridley was

upon Van Colt as president to sign

value, Gridley, with the assistance and
cooperation of the Ranney woman,

the books of the company instead of
showing a balance of $4,000 to the
credit OF the postmaster, showed a
debit on his part of $4,000.
