he has never returned and has never
been heard Of In the spring of 1890,
Tommy then lad of Is wrapped his
clothes in bundle and bid the old
farm adieu and went away and as the
years kept rolling onward, and
as he was never heard of his
folks finally gave him up as
being dead and his name was fast being
forgotten. In the fall of 1910 a heavy
built man of about 40 years got off the
train at Irwin and was Immediately
recognized as the long absent one and
had returned after being gone for more
than 20 years, and found that his par.
ents were dead, the old home sold, his
brothers and sisters all gone away and
the neighbors whom he had known in
boyhood days were nearly all gone, and
that strangers now occupied the whole
neighborhood. He did not remain long
and after erecting monument at his
father and mothers grave in Manning,
he went away and was next heard of in
connection with the above robbery.
Mike also went away at an early age,
and has been gone for years although,
he kept in communication with his
folks, and was present at his fathers
funeral in February 1908. John, the
eldest son remained with his father
until the latters death and then went
west and now spends his time in travel
ing claiming Sioux City as his home
owning large farm near there.
The railroad which has so long been
talked about, begins to look like sure
thing again and as railroad is badly
needed in this locality it is hoped the
farmers will do all in their power to
help get the track through. Fiscus is
81 miles from Kimballton the nearest
railroad town and Audubon, Irwin and
Kirkman are all more than miles
while Manning in nearly ID miles dis
lance. Three proposed routes have
been investigated in the past and under
all probabilities one of those will finally
be acceptable. One route was surveyed
several years ago which remained en-
tirely Within Audubon county. 1t was
laid out going one half mile east of
Fiscus, thence northeastward up the
large creek through Rob Wiley's farm
and cutting through the ridge north of
Mrs. Newell's place and entering Car
roll county near VIM. Pucks. The
2nd route ran south of Fiscus near John
Martinsen's and then turned northeast
ward following the creek near the
county line through the Mccall farm
and cutting through the ridge near j.
F. Bobenmoyer or Nj. L. Kneeland s
and hitting Long Branch and following
same and also entering Carroll county
near VIM. Pucks The Bird survey also
goes into Shelby county near John
Martinsen's and then runs slightly
northwest near Asmus Frees and Sam
Gaskills and straight onward to Botna
and then runs to Manning up the Nishne
bottom. OF the above three the last
one mentioned is the most favored and
if the road is extended ON to Manning
this route will undoubtedly he taken.
The farmers in this locality who have
been longing for road should now get
out and boost as we have better chance
to obtain one at present than ever before
