Great Western railroad are out Of jobs.
Sixteen freight conductors have been
placed in their positio4A The passen-
ger men were given orders to turn In
their punches and keys and were told
their services were no longer required
by the company.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in to decide why the cons"
were so suddenly dropped off the pay
rolls. 1t is reported that special agents
have been making an investigation on
the road thru the Iowa divisions in the
past month and the present clean up
of conductors Is ascribed to their ac-
tivities. One agent who has been
looking up" the matter stated that
few conductors on the road owned too
much valuable Iowa farm land"
In railroad circles it is stated that
one conductor who has been In the
service for thirty years Is among the
number let out. Recently he received
an injury while at work and In settle
ment secured life contract with the
railroad company. When he asked for
an explanation he was told by officials
that the bonding company was the
concern he must talk to. All conduc-
tors are required to furnish bonds In
the sum of $4,000.
Freight conductors are at present in

estate is left to the Northern Trust
Company, as trustee, the Income to be
paid to Mrs. Love. The trust estate
terminates when Mrs. Love reaches the
age of SO years, or when her eldest
child is q years old. when the estate
vests in her absolutely, under the terms
of the will.
If Mrs. Love dies before the trust
estate terminates it descends to- her
children. and If she dies childless the
estate goes to Mrs. Burnes' brothers
and sisters.
