Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1912-09-26

The thermometer went down to
80 degrees last Wednesday night.
In view of the fact that the mer-
curry registered near a hundred
within a week previous this can be
considered quite a change. An
other drop of sixty degrees would
mean genuine winter. But let us
hope that won't come this winter.
There was plenty of that in the
year just gone.
Misses Grace Whitworth and
Roberta Francis, who left a couple
of weeks ago to attend Maryville
College at Maryville, Tennessee,
were not satisfied with conditions
there, and, after a stay of a day oil
two left for Marvin College,
Fredericktown, Mo-, where they
attended school last year. Miss
Josephine Francis, who also went
to Maryville, remained there and
will probably stay for the school
year.
Elsewhere we print the story of
the wreck of the Lamont circus.
1t is said that one of the Lannon'S
was very angry when he found that
his brother had been killed and
threatened to kill the engineer on
the train whom he blamed for the
wreck, saying he did not apply
the air quick enough after the cars
left the track. The wreck put the
show out of business and no at
tempt was made to give further
exhibitions.

MI. E. M. Logan, of Belleview,
was in town last Wednesday and
told us of the death, a few days
previous of his old horse, "Selim,"
aged 81 years. The animal was
known to everybody in Belleview
and had been in Mr.. Logan's pos
session since he was about three
months old. He says he would
like to ascertain If there is any one
in this part of the state knows Of
as old a horse as his, 81 years.
Pretty good age for a horse and
positive evidence of good treat
ment. About the same time that
Selim died Mr.. Logan tells US that
his mother, Mrs. Ann Logan, lost a
horse that was % years old and
which she had had since it was a
colt.
VIM. S. Mccall. an attorney
from Kansas City, was here Tues
day seeking evidence against the
Iron County Central Railroad, in
the western part of Iron county, to
present at a meeting of the State
Railroad Commission to be held
in Kansas City Thursday. Mr..
Mccall is representing some par
ties who live near Viburnum in the
west end of Iron county who al
lege that the Central railroad is
discriminating-in that it hauls
freight for some people and refus-
es to do so for others. Mr.. Mccall
thinks that if he can prove this
charge to the satisfaction of the
Railroad Commission that that
body will mandamus the railroad
to act as a common carrier.
