Deny Effort to Scrap

BRAZIL, Ind, Feb. 1.-Ohicials Of the
Brazil division Of the Chicago K Eastern
Illinois Railroad place no credence in
rumors that the division is to he aban-
doned and strapped. 1t is believed the
rumors grew out Of steps taken by stock
holders in the c. & E. I. to purchase the
main division of the system between Chi
cago and Terre Haute, leaving the other
division of the system still in the hands
of the receiver.
The Brazil division, known as the In
diana coal road, does heavy freight
business in coal and clay products from
this field and is the only means OF rail
transportation available to many towns
along the line between Brazil and No

other towns would have no means of
transporting their products should the
line be abandoned
