Defeated Rail Line Proposal Spawns Local Reactions
The Decatur Chronicle notes Logan County voters rejected a 3300,000 subscription to the Pekin Lincoln and Decatur Railroad by 17 votes amid intra group quarrels. The Bushnell Press announces suspensive publication until patronage resumes. Local incidents include a man fatally self-harming near Lebanon and a drowning of Henry Mache at Palmer’s mine.
