Stock shipments via Houck road to Iron Mountain for St Louis
Last Saturday six car loads of stock were moved from Houck road to Iron Mountain for shipment to St Louis. Shipper Mr Biehle of Biehles said the Mountain line was new for his people, formerly using Frisco routing, which recent frictions hindered. He noted neighbors waited six weeks for a car, and his one car cost 47.50. Freight trains from below Perryville to Jackson took two trips, 6:20 p m to 4:00 a m. The piece laments avoidable delays and calls for not boycotting, praising Mr Risenbichler’s home and business while urging civic restraint.
