Lumber Company has decided to build
it's tramroad from here to the oil field,
passing through the'neW town of Ma
horton. The road has been built from
Mansfield to that town, and hundreds
Of lots sold. A number Of buildings
have been erected.
When the mill people went to ex-
tend their line to the oil field, several
miles beyond they were enjoined from
building their line over the lands be-
longing to the late ]. H. Majors. AS
the tramroad is not a chartered rail-
road, but simply a sawmill untilty,
could not inappropriate the right of
way, SO that they have decided to start
at a point one mile this side of Ma
horton and build the road to the east
of that place over lands through which
they hold a right of way. This will
leave the new town with no connec-
ton with any place., At most it will be
a spur Of a log road. Those who have
bought high-priced lots in the new
town and have built may sustain Sc
rious losses and they are threatening
to bring suit against the town site
company for damages, the principal
complaint being that the town site
map shows that the town is on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad,
