Kansas Town Thinks 1t Has Solved

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
COFFEYVILLE, Kas., July 3.-An
automobile passenger and baggage
transfer company with eight vehicles
possessing an aggregate capacity for
seventy people, will be in operation in
Coffeyville within the next week.
DIR. Evans is the promoter of the new
enterprise. Several locations for it's
headquarters are under consideration
The company already has five automo-
biles here, and DR.. Evans has gone to
Chicago to purchase three more.
One of them will have a seating ca
pacity of forty. 1t will be used to con-
vey people to and from the ball grounds
and for sightseeing by tourists and
citizens who wish to take trips about
Coffeyville and the adjacent country.
The neW company thinks q general
hack service system is about obsolete
for town of this size, and in the alb
sence of a street railway line it will en-
deavor to meet the local transit de-
mand. Service will be maintained to
and from all trains and also along the
main residence and business thorough
fares. Prices will be moderate, and
profits are expected to accrue from the
volume of business instead of the
amount charged for transportation.

Seemingly bearing a charmed life, he

Indian tribes, sometimes fighting the
red men, but more often living their
life and finding the solace of true
brotherhood at the lodge fire. Every
mountain Jim Bridger climbed, every
stream he crossed, and every game
