IMPORTANT CASE
IS UP FOR HEARING
CITIZENS NEAR RED OAK ASK
FOR RESTORATION OF
RAILROAD SERVICE.

! Red Oak, July ga case that bids
fair to be watched with greater inter-
est by the people of Montgomery coun-
~ than was the famous Bedford muir
der and treasure chest mystery by
Taylor county citizens last week. is
that of the hearing of the Atlantic
Southern Railway company, which
will be held here before the board Of
state railroad commissioners.
The hearing is being held upon the
duplication Of the citizens living
along the railroad who desire an order
! from the commissioners compelling
the railroad to resume operations.
The defense of the officials of the
railroad Is that they are unable 10
loss. The petitioners are represented
by Judge J. H. Henderson of Indian
ola. commerce counsel of the state,
and by Attorney Ralph Pringle of Red
Oak.
The citizens living along the line of
the Atlantic southern, by voluntary
subscription and tax originally paid
practically all the cost of building
the line The road was placed in the
hands of a receiver within few days
after it was opened for operation, and
at the receivers sale over a year ago
was again sold to the present owners.
1t is understood that Robert Abels OF
St. Louis owns practically all Of the
stock of the road, but the business OF
the road is being conducted by his
son, -in-law. DeRoo Weber.
The Atlantic Southern railroad ex-
tends from Atlantic to Villisca. Is
about thirty-six miles in length and
is said by those who were interested
in it's construction to have originally
cost the people living along the line
100000 This includes the tax mon.
ey contributions and also the labor
which was contributed, of which last
there was a large amount.
The case is one of especial inter.
est to southwestern Iowa. and of vital
importance to the northwestern part
of Montgomery county. There Is an
immense harvest in that section that
will soon be awaiting transportation
to market, and the prices of the crops
harvested will depend upon the facll-
ity with which they can be put on
board cars for shipment. !

TWO FRUITS GROW
JOINED into ONE
By Briggs

The latest freak of the many which
have been uncovered this year, is
combination strawberry raspberry.
This queer fruit, which has the shape
Of strawberry, with the small grains
and hollow center Of a red raspberry,
was grown by L. H. Gibson, north Of
the city. Mr.. Gibson procured some Of
the plants back east several years ago
and has had some success in growing
them The fruit is easily grown in good
years and is very prolific. The fruit
eaten raw, does not have much Of
taste, but according to Mr.. Gibson, is
excellent when preserved. Mr.. Gibson
has a good sized patch The vines grow
about two feet high and look like
small bush instead of the strawberry
plant, which runs along the ground. 1t
has leaves like the strawberry plant,
and the branches are soft like those Of
the strawberry, instead Of being hard
and woody like the raspberry bush.
