There is to be made next Monday a
big change in the handing of local
freight on the Missouri Pacific into
and out of Piedmont. The regular
layover here will be abandoned, and
the division which heretofore has
been from here to Charleston will be
abolished and a new turn around d.
vision will be established from Poplar
Bluff to De Soto. No longer will the
two crews spend the night here. The
new arrangement has become neces-
sary on account of overtime pay, the
employees assert, and officials allege
that traffic arrangements require the
alteration, SO that freight may be
more readily handled.-Piedmont
Banner.

Revenue Collector, spent Saturday
and Sunday at home. He was on
Iron Mountain train No 5 Friday

three miles south OF De Soto. One OF
the new engines, which are monsters,
was pulling the train When the
train was near the top of the Vineland
hill, something broke about the en-
CINE and the train crew made an
effort to repair the break. While the
crew were working on the 9 ngine the
sold cuss" got unruly and rammeithe
train go hard that all the passengers
we're mixed up like scrambled eggs
All of the lights were broke, the stoves
all knocked down and the windows in
the coaches knocked out, but luckily
no one was seriously injured. An
other engine from De Soto came
down to the wreck and pulled the
train back into De Soto, but the track
was so badly torn up that traffic wal
suspended for ten hours.-Centerville
