A crew of surveyors and en-
gineers were here Monday and
Tuesday nights. They were sur
veying an air line from Shreves-
port, Louisiana, to st. Louis.
We we're unable to secure any
definite information as to the OBJ
ject of the survey, but, it is gen.
orally conceded that they were
surveying a telephone line. They
chained the entire distance and
drove a stake every 80 or 70 yards,
besides blazing the line and cut
ting the underbrush along the
right-of-way. They came into
this state from the south, and
crossed the Current River branch
of the Frisco at Fremont, Carter
county. Current River was crossed
at or near Paint Rock. The Super
~intendent said he would probably
be back here in from three to six
weeks and would want all the
teams he could get. One thing
that made some people think the
survey was being made for more
purposes than a telephone line was
that the Superintendent was us
ing Missouri Pacific stationery.
However, we hope to be able to
give our readers something more
definite in the near uture.-Center-

the clipping from the Herald: son

Sedberry hired a saddle horse at
Louis Burch's livery stable in
Elvins, stating at the time he was
going to visit his mother in Esther
and that he would be back in a
couple of hours. When he failed
to show up Wednesday evening,
Burch became alarmed and swore
out a warrant for his arrest charg-
ing him with stealing the horse.
The sheriffs of several neighbour
ing counties were telephoned to be
on the lookout for Sedberry
Burch then got in communication
with Mrs. Josie Forbes, the famous
Wayne county fortune teller. She
informed him that Sedberry hac
disposed of the horse at Yount's
store in Perry county, nea the
Madison county line. 1t after

and three others with it at Yount's
