Larimore at the request Of j. B. Cush-
man, who was agent at the time, and
was an expert railroad man, having Al
great many friends among the railroad

a married man about 80 years Of age;
had worked for the Great Northern
for the past twelve years at different
places and was in line for promotion
He was a genial young man Of good
habits and was one Of the most popular
Of all the railroad men in this city.
III Mr.. Hooper, the agent, came toDev-
lis Lake last December from Mimic to
take the position of J. B. Cushman as
agent at this point. He was also "a
married man and the report comes
from Mimic that he was well liked at
B that place although there was d gener-

that he was not the man for the posi-
tion and was not generally liked. He
!, and Bryant quarreled frequently over
matters conn ected with the railroad
work and these quarrels kept constant
