I Report Extant That Iron Mountain Will
1 ^ Straighten Main Line Track.
'I A report from Austin this
f | state, tells of a determination on
h the part of the Iron Mountain to
% straighten its track through tnat
/section. It will be rememberer
#that. the Iron Mountain track
does not run straight nea? there,
v-but veers off considerably, and
efthat the present town is not on
Mhe original site. Ay the time
pf.oe road was build ipie people of
Old Austin believed that the
road was then n?ar enough and
that they should make no special
, effort to get it. Therefore the
i road did not mss that town, and
* the New A’ Jn», Ward and sev
eral other iall piac^ grew up
’ on the li-dyGf the track Con
» sequem/flf The result has bet ,rs !
i+o pra^j^Hy efface Old Austin
rorr m map. In fact, even in
.aJKock there are but few
/AI who even remember that1
Me was ever such a town.
This report comes to Austin
'om St. Louis, from g source
lid to be authentic, an that it
the intention of the system to
iiminate these curves as far as
_ possible. It is learned also 1
that the Austin curve is not the
rmlv nnp which has received the
attention of the management. It
is stated that the entire track
will be straighted out and that a
great many grades will be elimi- j
nated. This recalls the rumor
r>f some weeks ago that the Pres- j
■ott Hill will be reduced, and
ihat other grades will be cut
lown until the uniform grade of
i^ib^of one per cent, or
fill have been obtained.

Victim of Vicious Dog.
A vicious dog belonging to Boh
Sherlock, who resides in the
vicinity of McHue, attacked two
children Monday, and one oi
them the 2-year-old son of Fritz
Seasonberg, is in a very serious
condition, his face being terribly
lacerated. The child is suffer
ing much pain, and his face and
head are badly swollen. It is
, feared that the injuries may re
sult fatally. The other victim
of the dog’s attack is the chile
jofG. Purcelly, but its injuries
are not considered necessarily
i serious, unless the animal was
suffering w.th hydrophobia
which is not thought, to be th<

POINSETT PARTY BOLT.
Split in Primaries Promised as Resull
ot Alleged Unfairness in Con
vention.
Harrisburg, Feb. 21. — The:
Democratic central committee of;
: Poinsett county met pursuant to :
the call of Chairman, Dr. J. C. |
Davis. Tension has been very
; high in politicai circles here for
the past two years on account ol j
the action of that part of the
committee that catered1 to the
Davis side of the question.
The membership of the com
mittee is divided, the conserva-|
! tive wing sometimes called the
anti-Davis wing, has all along;
contended for and tried to secui e
a fair deal for all factions and
| everybody concerned. When
: the committee met yesterday it
j was found that the Davis wing
j was a little short,
i But in order to secure control
ths cs-imnittee -on credentials un-,
seated a sufficient number of the
conservatives to give it control.
This precipitated a spirited
discussion, and the conservatives j
fought every iqch of the ground
trying to secure a fair deal in
the interest of honest elections.
Finally G. T. Garvey leader of
the conservatives, submitted a
list containing sixteen names uj
men, who were absolutely above
reproach, men whom any person ;
or party could trust, and asked
that any three of these men be se
lected to appoint the judges and I
clerks to hold the primary. This i j
was flatly refused. Then the ||
conservatives walked out and j
were followed by about 300 far-;
mers and others to the hall of j
the court house, where a rousing;
mass meeting was held.
A resolution was adopted
unanimously calling on each
township in the county to hold
mass meetings on Saturday, Feb-1
ruary 21, for the purpose ofi
of selecting delegates and com
mitteemen to meet in a county
convention at Harrisburg on
February 28, for the purpose of j
calling a legalized primary elec
tion for all officers to be voted
upon. This means that two pri
maries will be held in this coun
| ty. The farmers and common
people have grown tired of be
! ing controlled by the “ring” and
a little coterie of political trick
sters. The outcome in this coun
' ty will be watched with much in
terest by those who are inter
ested in honest elections.
