FREIGHT TRAFFIC
is BADLY CONGESTED
Rutland Railroad Is Sending Hundreds
of Cars Into the Local Yard
Each Day.
Especial to The Reformer.)
BELLOWS FALLS. Anril III


Employees of the railroads which
run through Bellows Falls are con
fronted with serious problem be
cause Of the great amount Of freight
that is continually passing through
here and choking up the yards At
times it is almost impossible for the
railroads to handle the trains. The
Rutland railroad is sending hundreds
Of freight cars into the local yards
each day which must be cared for by
the Boston & Maine railroad. Because
of the congested condition of the New
York Central lines the Rutland road a
few weeks ago agreed to take some of
the cars and send them to Boston over
its rails and the Boston & Maine CON
Cured to the agreement.
In addition to this extra freight the
railroads have a large increase in
their own business to care for and the
result is seen in conditions here Sew
eral 'doubIe-headers reach here
every day over the Rutland line
Oftentimes these freights are SO ears
in length. There is a natural short
age in yard room caused by the in
creased business and the yardmen are
puzzled many times to find place for
the extra freight.
/ Not long ago a Rutland conductor
was told to take his freight of sc
cars to a siding in the Fitchburg di-
vision yard. He so instructed his
engineer. When the engine arrived at
the siding there was found to be
room for just five ears.
/ Despite the difficulties following
the railroads prosperity the passenger
traffic is well-handled an the delays
are not so great as one would sup
pose

TIERS At THE FRONT, April TO- -
Renewed reports have been received
here by Cen Pershing that Francisco
Villa is dead and buried. These re-
ports are under investigation. Mean
while the hunt for the Villa bandits is
proceeding with renewed vigor with the

disposed toward the Americans and
many of them are bitter against Villa.

Americans last january, is not dead,
but is seriously wounded.

Ell PASO, April II. - The south
ward rush Of the American cavalry
forces pursuing Francisco Villa has been
so rapid that it has carried Col. Dodd
and his troops far beyond all lines Of
communication. Officials of the Carranza
government in Juarez are making at
tempts today to gain information over
the Mexican land line in regard to the
advance positions of the American
troops.
No official word of the whereabouts
of the advance guard has been received
for days Army officers at Fort Bliss
believe that when the expeditionary
commanders get in touch with Maj.
Gen. Funston they will report that
American troops have engaged Villa
forces in battle.
| Reports of battle south of Satevo
were current early today, but there was
nothing to confirm these reports. While
the American cavalry are combing the
country at the far end of the line of
communication there was little appre-
hension over their position, for it was
felt at Fort Bliss that Dodd S men
could fight themselves out of any un-
comfortable positions. Scouts and
refugees with a knowledge of the coun-
try south of Parral say the American
troops viii find it peculiarly difficult to
operate III any number against Villa in
the district where he is now fleeing.
