GO AND COME IN ONE DAY
Reported That Fulton viii Get
Daily Train to st. Louis.

Chicago and Alton employees
at Mexico are discussing the
establishment of accommoda-
tion passenger service between
Fulton and st. Louis, accord
ing to the information brought
to Fulton Tuesday morning.
The gossip is that a passenger
train will start from Fulton at
600 a. m. and reach st. Louis
before noon, and then leave st.
Louis in time to get to Fulton
about 1000 o'clock at night.
Such a train service would
enable Fulton people who have
occasion to make short business
trips to st. Louis to go and re-
turn the same day. Columbia
has a similar service on the Wa
bash and finds it extremely sat
isfact0ry.
According to the men who
brought the story to Fulton,
there is a general demand along
the Burlington cutoff for ar
accommodation train. Railroad
employees believe it will be put
on in the near future, but are
not sure whether it will star
from Mexico or from Fulton
The talk among company EN-
Iployes predicts if the accommo
ldation train starts from Mexico
"a stub will be run on the branch
to Fulton to connect with it,

Nine negro men and women

that they would stand trial, and
time for the trials will be set as

Nearly all the negroes are
old offenders and several have
served terms in the county jai

officials are sure they have suf'
ficient evidence to convict every
one of the gang.
