RAIL ROADING
UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
The first passenger trains south
since the flood came in about
noon today. They were Nos. 17,
the Hot Springs special, 5 and 9.
The trains had to get here by a
rather roundabout way. They
left St. Louis and went to River
side over the Iron Mountain
tracks. From Riverside they
went to Boone Terre over the M.
R. & B. T., thence to Delta,
then to Dexter and in over the
Cat.
An idea of the time it took to
make the trip may be gained
when it is considered that No.
17 left St. Louis about 8 o’clock
last night and reached* here at
11 this morning. This train usu
ally makes the trip in about six
hours.
The “Kitten” went out this
! morning as far as Dexter for the
I first time since last Saturday
| morning. All these trains were
loaded down with delayed mail
and baggage, and the mail clerks,
baggage men and express mes
sengers were kept busy handling
it.—Poplar Bluff Citizen-Demo
