NEWAGREEMENTON
WABASH FREIGHT
This 10 Made Necessary by Very
Greatly Increased Tariffs Charged
by keokuk and Hamilton
Bridge Company.
USE HANNIBAL ROUTE
Assistant General Freight Agent Was
Here to Explain to Shippers
What Has Been Done
in Matter.

! T. S. Farrell, assistant general
freight agent of the Wabash railroad
was in the city today, calling on the
shippers of keokuk, to explain 70
them the new operating agreement
between the Wabash and the Burling-
ton in regard to car load freight.
This new agreement has been made
necessary because of the boost III
tariffs made by the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Bridge company. All rates have
been raised, and have been raised to
such a point that the Wabash does
not feel justified in standing the in
crease.
BY the satisfactory operating agree
ment with the Burlington, car load
freight either inbound or outbound,
will be handled by way of Hannibal.
The Wabash will bring the freight to
Hannibal over it's main line, and the
Burlington will handle it to keokuk
turning it over to the Wabash here.
The same procedure will be followed
on outbound car load freight. The
local freight and passenger service
from Bluffs to Keokuk will be hand
led over the bridge for the present
at least, but all Of the car load
freight will be handled as per this
agreement.
The operating agreement in no way
affects the Keokuk office. Shippers
who use the Wabash will use it un-
der the new agreement just the same
as formerly. and there will be no
change in the accounting here. Ship
pers will continue as usual to use
the Wabash both in and out of the
city.
Mo Service Given.
The bridge company furnishes no
service whatever, and that was one
is virtually termed hold up by Of
ficials The Wabash uses it's own en-
gines, coal and tracks, and merely
toll paid is merely for the privilege
the freight can be handled Just as
fly since 1t will come over the main
line, the company did not hesitate to
cut off all car load business coming
Hannibal routing. 1t is understood
that the terminal association at St.
Louis switches cars over the bridge
and into Missouri, spotting them and
returning them, for less charge than
keokuk and Hamilton Bridge com
pany.

ed Boxer Sustained Record
Number of Injuries

Bobby Thompson. noted professional
cyclist. racing partner of the late Archie
McEachren. lightweight boxer and all
round athlete. is dead, victim of pneu-
monia, brought on by epidemic influenza.
Thompson had been in more accidents
during his career as a bicycle racer than
any of his rivals of the board track.
Paired with Archie McEachern. also
of Canada Thompson won many big
purses in the early days of cycle racing
and later became a clever follower of the
pacing motorcycle.
Thompson was badly injured inter-
nally in a spill during bicycle race in
1899: his skull was fractured in SIM
liar spill the very next year both legs
were painfully burned in 1902. when
the tank Of motorcycle that he was
riding exploded, scattering blazing
gasoline all over him.
He broke his shoulder twice in 1908.
both times in from bike In
1905 he broke an .:rm and hurt a foot
in the same way. In 1905 he had his
jaw broken while boxing with his
trainer in preparation for a bout. Three
months later Jack Clancy broke the
other side of his jaw with wild swing
at the old Nonpareil Club in this city.

THERE are now $50 members of the
i Lu Lu Temple Country Club. and on
Saturday afternoon the course Is
literally crowded with players. In fact.
Lu Lu was less than year old when
the club members realized the necessity
Of an eighteen-hole course.
The course Is only three years old. I
remember playing there the first year it
was opened and there were few players
on ii that Sunday morning. The sport
was absolutely new to the great bulk Of
the members who at that time used the
club as a dining club. In fact, there
were more men on the course watching
others play than there were players.
Few of the members had ever played
the game and it was n hard task to find
enough men to place on the tournamen,
and golf committee who knew the rules
of the game For the first two years
little or nothing was done to the course
in the way of traps and pits, but for
tunately there is a fair quantity OF
natural hazards. and those who did
know the game were quick to realize
that the easier they made it for the
members the more readily would the
members become interested in the game
Only Committee Attended
Even at this writing the great bulk
of the playing membership are men who
play over the 100 mark Naturally
under these conditions the tournament
committee had hard time to interest
the members in the game. Tournaments
were arranged, and there were days
when the only players to appear on the
course were members of the commit.

Of the Marines and Red and Blue little

game with a dislocated shoulder. He
received this injury in the Marines
