BAD CUTOFF YARN
Topeka Paper Trying to Shove Dodge
off of California Line.

off of California Line.
The Topeka Herald quotes Mr.. Nudge
as saying that when the Santa Fe's Belen
cutoff Is completed, which will be with
ina year or so, the heavy freight will 20
south from Newton via Mulvane and
thence across to the Belen line. The
Herald also quotes Mr.. Nudge as saying
that the California passenger service will
out south from Hutchinson and later Join
the freight trains line of march. The
Herald may have heard that Mr.. Nudge
had SAID such things. Asa usual thing
railroad managers do not discuss their
plans for the future. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that Mr.. Nudge would be out
stating that the stock holders were get
ting ready to vote fifty million bonds and
that when the got their minds made up
to vote the bonds they would spend the
money In such and such ways. Here at
Dodge City we are not going to entertain
the belief that the Sauta Fe through
trains will branch off east of here, at
least not until we have better authority
for II,
If we should, In time, find that such
was to be the case we would just make
up our minds to let the Santa Fe people
run their California trains any old route
they choose.

BAD STORIES SENT OUT
Or Manufactured by the Kansas City
Papers

A short time ago Ford county had a
fine snow fall over which there was much
rejoicing. There were no bad features
to the fall Of the snow, nothing to injurs
stock, The snow was a boon to the
county and The spreading of the joyful
news would naturally have been a good
advertisement for us here.
Instead Of the news being given in this
way, however, we read In q Kansas City
paper next day about "Blizzard raging
in Western Kansas, a report which
would conjure up visions of frozen peo-
pie, dying cattle and general calamity.
A Garden City man wrote here asking
II Dodge City could not shut off such
idiotic and hurtful reports going out.
It'll possible that no one sent the re-
port, at least asit printed. The paper
1t appeared in has frequently changed Its
correspondents reports.

RAILROAD Surveyors Have Been
\ Flirting With Us
SANTA FE COMPANY DOING IT
Said to Mean Spur to Fort
But May Be Part Of the
Cutoff Plans.

Santa Fe surveyors east Of town lately
3bave cAused some curiosity among the
sIsttlsrs. The surveyors 1t is said were
1|yetting plans for a Santa Fe spur to TT.
BOodge and incidentally furnish the CON-
s2any some information regarding the
prospect for an easy grade from Klnsley
10 Dodge City via Fl. Dodge. In the
s'vent Of building such a road ii would
continue the Santa Fe's system Of double
Track by different routes almost from
xansas City to this point, From Kinslcy
10 Hutchinson there is a cutoff furnish.
nng to routes between those places.
NGmporia has two different routes to Kan.
Vas City and double track west from
EImporia to Florence, which will be ex.
Aended to Hutchinson, 1t is not unlikely
hat the company is figuring on another
sract from KinsIey to Dodge City, and
hhis with the cutoff from Dodge south
Evest will finish out their double track
aystem.
There Is no evidence at hand that the
anta Fe has given up the Dodge City
Aut-off. A statement which will be
found below has been printed in Topeka
ut no credence Is given to It by people
kho have been keeping posted on the
Snt-off matter.
The Mulyane route mentioned is
Etumbled down affair at present and
ould furnish a poor route If rebuilt.
x would shorten the Santa Fe's present
pute only a few miles. The proposed
lodge City route will shorten the run
hbouA2O0 miles, and in the race for time
ybwoh, this meana great deal,
Yhe statement that The main line will
IL run south from Newton or Hutchinson,
1t has been made by Santa Fe officials,
llas probably been made to mislead other
Ebads regarding the Santa Fe's real plan.

An ITALl4N HURT.
Was Rendered Unconscious by Jump
ing From Excursion Train.

Antonio Giani, an Italian, about
thirty years of age, who resides in
Barre, was seriously hurt this after
noon by jumping off the excursion
train for New York.
He went down to the station in
Barre to say good bye to his wife and
two children who were going to New
York and got onto the train himself
thinking he would jump off at Berlin
street. This he did but he struck on
his head in the road and was picked
up in an Unconscious condition q
short time afterward. Doctors J. S.
Deziel and j. W. jackson were sum-
moned and after an examination were
unable to say whether he was inter-
nally injured or not. A telephone
message was sent to Montpelier to his
wife, who was unaware shat anything
had happened to her husband. She
returned to Barre.

n ROUT McL1NE'S MURDER

Two theories regarding the McLane
murder are quite cnrrent in Worces.
er, both of which would tend TO
show that the murder was not commit
ted in McLane's own house. The
general opinion seems to be that his
body was carried to his home. Some
are of the belief, so it is reported, that
the killing was done in the home of
Charles Corey. the man now under ar
rest charged with commission of tho
crime. In support OF this theory it's
uhpolders claim that. on the Monday
morning ON which the body was dis
covered the floor of the Corey house
received it's first mopping that it had
had in years.
But on the other hand, some people
as strongly maintain that the murder
was committed in McLane's own barn.
The supporters of this opinion regard.
ing the crime. claim that McLane had
been losing hay and was lying in wait
in the barn to try to catch the thieves,
and that whoever his assailant was
attacked him there. In any case 1t ia
belived that more than one person was
cognizant of the crime. Charles Co.
