No final answer has as yet been
received from Manager Cotter of
the railroad company, in reference
to our petition for better train ser
vice at this station. We have been
asking that passenger train Nc. 7,
south bound at 6:15 o'clock in the
morning, and No. 2, north bound
at S:42 o'clock A. M, stop at this
station in addition to the service
we already have. The company
has signiied a willingness to give
us the south bound train if we will
not insist on the north bound. But
the north boundi is the one we want
and need most. tits expected that
a definite reply will be received
from the company in a few days.
A valuable horse was stolen from
Chas. Russell, who lives on Crane
Pond, about twelve miles south of
Ironton, last Friday night. The
thief entered Mr.. Russell's stable,
bridled and saddled the horse and
rode away. The animal was a
good one valued at over one hun
dred dollars. 1t is thought that
the guilty party is a man who
spent three or four days there
previously. He came there and
sold a horse, and it is supposed
now that that horse was stolen,
too, probably from somewhere in
st. Francois county. Officers have
been in search ever since the horse
was stolen, but have no clue as tc
the direction taken by the thief.
Beginning with next Sunday
there will likely be nothing doing
