weeks and then train service viii be
established to Custer City. We expect
to push the work at four different
points along the route
Nothing will be done concerning
the erection of the Wichita round

need for a round house or shops until
we get a line. However. the matter

ruling in part the demurrer of the
Federal Trust company of Cleveland,
in a test case where it is seeking to
collect from citizens of Guthrie a to-
tai of $4,000 on notes. Judge BurfOrd
has held it a good defense if the at
tOrneys for the citizens can prove that
the Fort Smith & Western Railroad
company secured bonus notes from
the citizens through Misrepresentation.
These notes were secured by the COM
pany's agents here in 1902 and 1903,
and were sold on September IS, 1903,
to the Federal Trust company. The
company began operation of trains
into Guthrie two days after selling the
notes to the Federal Trust company
The citizens of Guthrie resisted pay
ment, alleging that 1t was the intention
Of the company from the start to build
into Guthrie from Fort Smith, Ark
but that its agents represented to the
people here that if they did not donate
la $4,000 bonus the road would be
built to some other point. During
1905 the case was heard and Judge
Burford rendered a verdict in favor of
the company. Afterwards he granted
the people of Guthrie a new trial on
the grounds of misrepresentation.
