Work on the La Crosse &c Southeastern

vertising for men and teams to work on
the road bed, and arrangements have
been made with Minneapolis parties for

be put to work at once, and the work of
completing the roadbed east from: Stod-
dard to Westby and thence to Viroqua,
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
Contractor Haney said yesterday that
he expected to be able to get between

expect to push the work rapidly. The
crews are being organized and no delays
in the construction are anticipated

carrying away about S42 in money and
some papers. They made their entrance
through the back door by picking the
lock and at once commenced operations
on the safe. With sledge they knocked
the disk off the door of the safe, pour
