900 in three hours selling. Good draft
horses brought $500 a span. The high
est price paid was for a pacing road
ster, $3.50. A feature of the sale was
the smart western demand, buyers
from Rochester, Buffalo and the east
said they could not buy at the high
prices prevailing. The eastern buy

RESIGNATION.
Unofficial Report Current That He
Will Quit Iowa Central.

The rumors published in the Herald
several weeks ago to the effect that
the designations of persons in the
operating department of the Iowa
Central were to be handed in seems
to have been upon pretty good founda-
ton. Since the Herald's publication
of the story Mr.. Fred Melin has ten
dered his resignation as chief dis
patcher and the place has been filed.
Now comes a statement that is be-
ing generally discussed in railway
circles to the effect that Trainmaster
B. G. Falls has rendered his resigna.
ton, to become effective March /.
Mr.. Falls was out Of town to-day and
the report could not be verified.
Concerning the matter the MARSHALL
town Times-Republican says: Mr..
Falls departure from the Iowa Cen
trail will be a source Of general regret
on the part of employees. He has been
looked upon as a fixture, as he is now
the oldest official in the operating de-
partment left from the group that has
been in charge for SO many years. Mr.,
Falls career with the road has cover
ed a period Of fourteen years. He be-
gan as an operator in the office here
and was soon afterwards given a trick,
which he held until made chief dis
patcher. When Mr.. e. E. Kerwin was
made trainmaster of the line south
and east of Peoria Mr.. Falls was
made trainmaster of the property
north of Oskaloosa, with headquarters
in this city. About eight years ago,
when the system was placed under
charge of one trainmaster, Mr.. Ker-
win, and the dispatcher's Office re-
again made chief dispatcher, which
position he held until about five
months ago, when he was again made
trainmaster.
Mr.. Falls is a thorough railroad
man and his ability is unquestioned.
life with the company, and a more
tireless worker could not be imagined
that Ben Falls. Friends who saw
him at work have orten wondered
when he ever slept or went to his
meals, for it made no difference what
there is to be done, or under what con-
ditions duties had to be performed,
Ben Falls was on duty to see that the
conditions might be met.
Mr.. Falls plans for the future are
not yet determined upon. That he
will be taken care of by some road
where a mans labors are appreciated,
there is no doubt. 1t has been gener'
ally understood among railroad mel
when G. w. Huntington went to the
Jersey Central that in time he would
have Kerwin and Falls with him, Mr.,
Kerwin has already Joined his former
chief and is now a superintendent
Mr.. Falls may have an eastern posi-
ton in view.
As to the successor there has been
no formal announcement made. Su
p%erintendent Sullivan, of the M. X. &
T., is known to have been in Oska
loosa recently with Superintendent
Davis, but whether or not his visit
had any significance in view of this
change is not known. Mr.. Sullivan
is very close to Mr.. Sweeney, also tc
Mr.. Davis, and it may be that he Is
the man slated for the position.
