Railroad battle over Fredericksburg line deal reviewed
Examiners urged the Interstate Commerce Commission to authorize Gulf and West Texas to build a 29 mile parallel line from Fredericksburg to Fredericksburg Jince. Gulf and West Texas seeks to replace Fredericksburg and Northern if its offer of 227000 is rejected, with Southern Pacific backing the move. An Alaska obituary note closes the item, recognizing sourdough Robert J. Bell who left 35000 to Mary Jane McNei in Massachusetts.
