Illinois, and insult, the coal miner,
sells coal to insult, the traction mag

is gone and we won't get his evidence

There are two explanations of why
Hogarth is gone. Ofle7fs the traction
companies got him a good job far
away from Chicago and he will be so
busy with the job that he won't have
time to come back'to Chicago and tell
how insult keeps books on coal. A
second explanation and one, more
generally believed, is that Hogarth
