Lays of Railroad Crews. - While
Fort Scott will not suffer directly from

be made In the receipts of the COM
pany. Eight crews have been laid off
out of Cherokee and this will have its
effect. There are five men in crew.
To get some idea of the coal business
done by this road. 1t must be taken
into consideration that the Frisco had
eleven crews out of Cherokee.
