Railroad Hastens Liquor to Cascade
Instead of Fuel.

Cascade, Jan. 31.-The managers of
the narrow gauge branch of the c., NJ.
& st. Paul road were the subjects of
very much uncornplimentary comment
when it was learned that instead of
three carloads of coal that had been
loaded at Bellevue under the personal
supervision of the local coal dealer, the
narrow gauge train ran in here the
previous night with a cargo of beer and
left thesvery necessary article of coal
standing in the yards at Bellevue. The
matter would have been comical if it
had not so much OF tragedy in it. Alb
solute want and suffering existed here
in Cascade Families in some instances
We're burning whatever they could find
to relieve the inmates of the house
from suffering the pangs of the bitter
cold. 1t was not a joking matter and
the coal should have had precedence
over the, other commodity under the
circumstances.
