Ration now is, and when half way up
the Ration mountains dark came upon
Us, anda terrific snow storm set in,
compelling US to stop until daylight as
We could not find our way, and the
animals refused 10 face the storm. AT

Us to stay until Two o'clock the next

The last stretch of double tracking
on the Pennsylvania will be completed
on Saturday of this week when the
stretch between Arcola and Columbia
City is finished This will give a COM
plete double track from Pittsburg to
Chicago and mark the completion of a
work begun several years ago and
gradually pushed TO its finish. The
completion of the double track will
materially lessen the time of freight
trains between Fort Wayne and Chi
cago and will reduce to a very large
extent the overtime made by train
crews on the run, says the Fort Wayne
Journal Gazette. The overtime limit
of thirteen hours for through freights
will remain as it is, but the time re-
CURED to make the run will probably
be reduced to about seven hours and

Human Skeleton Found.


The unearthing of human skele-
ton near Etna Green by the construc-
tion gang of the Pennsylvania railroad
has caused considerable excitement
and interest in that section of coun-
try, and the story is being circulated
that the skeleton found is that of some
person murdered years ago and buried
to divert suspicion. The pllce in
which the skeleton twas found would
seem to indicate that such was prob
ably the case and that those who hold
to the theory that murder was CON-
mitted years ago are probably IN the
right.
