Brother O'Rrien, OF the Iron River
Stambaugh Reporter gets on some
queer things but the queerest combi
nation ever appearing in his columns
was that In the last issue when, IN
one breath he told OF the stagnatior
OF business in Crystal Falls and I'm the
next one OF fellow who hired q
special train at "a cost Of Sll0 rather
than stay in Iron River over night
The fellow went up town while the
baggage was being transferred from
the 'cordwood limited 10 the regular
passenger and while he was away from
the station the train pulled out leav-
ing him without means OF getting out
Of town that evening The fellow
had seen enough Of the place during
his stroll about town and decided that
nothing would keep him in town over
night. His only alternative was TO
hire special train which he did.
Now will you be good?
