NO ROTTEN CROSS TIES


It turns out that there was no truth
in the story from Canton yesterday

wrecked and 118 cattle killed near that
place The story was telephoned he-e
about two O'Clock in the afternoon by
some one giving his name as that or
a reiable citizen of Canton, saying
that he was at Canton and that the
today of the central telephone once
at Canton brought the statement that
the gentleman whose name was iTen
was not at Canton at the time the
message was telephoned 1t is evident
that some one palmed off a fake. The
only trouble at Canton was the disable
ment of switch engine which. how
ever, did no damage incidentally i
stranger here who said that he had
large shipment Of cattle en- route re-
ceived a message that the train mad
been ditched and that many OF the
cattle were killed He was making
inquiry relative to the Whereabouts OF
the claim agent of the Murphy division
for an adjustment OF the loss This
stranger received his message and as
aking enquiries about Is minutes b.
