There seems to be foundation for
the rumor that the Iron Mountain
and Frisco railroads are both con-
tending for control of the Farm
ington electric road. Just at pres
ent the Frisco seems to have the
upper hand, and all the electric
trains are run so as to facilitate
traffic on the Frisco. The latter
now makes round-trip rate of S3
from Pennington to st. Louis, and
is securing considerable business.
A portion of last Thursday was
occupied in the circuit court trying
the suit of j. A. Moon VS.. Larry
keenan,. The suit was instituted
to set aside a will made by plain
tiff's mother, bequeathing a house
and lot in Pilot Knob to the de-
fendant. Plaintiff claimed deed,
prior to the will, to the property.
The court, after hearing the evil
donce, decided in favor of the de-
fendant. Plaintiff appealed to the
supreme court.

The Slid" was even on in the
dining cars Sunday. Some of the
thirsty have babit on Sunday
afternoon of boarding No. A at Ar
cadia, riding to Bismarck, and re-
turning on No. refreshing the
inner man in the dining car, both
going and coming. But it would
MT work Sunday. When the boys
reached the dining car they were
promptly informed that the lid was
on and would remain there until
the State line was reached or Sum-
day was done and gone. And no
amount of entreaty could induce
the dining car conductor to violate
his instructions.
Mrs. III. O'Brien last Monday de-
parted for Pasadena, CAL, where
she will probably locate. She
takes with her the good wishes of
her many friends. l know of no
other one person to whom the Ar
cadia Valley is so much indebted
for the acknowledgment of its mer-
it's as a summer resort, and the re-
suit of her long-continued and un-
firing efforts will not soon pass
away. She is a lady of rare at.
tainments, and the REGISTER trusts
her future success may be COM
mensurate with her recognized de-
serving; that happiness may crown
her venture in the Far West with
hopes fulfilled. ..
