Among Railroad Men Move to Exit Coal Mines
Arrangements are under way to transfer one of all Kanes coal mines owned by the Santa Fe to a large Kansan City fuel company. If the Colorado and Kansas mines are leased and the transfer completed before the fall coal trade, the Santa Fe will shed control of certain coal properties. The shift would reduce clerical staff in the auditors office and may move accounting work to Chicago, potentially abolishing the city office. The change aims to advance the company’s commercial interests.

Sting of a Centipede Brings Cuban Escape to St. Louis
Sam Lewis, once in the Cuban revolutionary struggle, fled ambush warfare by boat from Texas to St. Louis. Readjusting clothing revealed a concealed centipede in his valise causing a severe facial infection. He moved from New Orleans to St. Louis about a week ago, stayed at a Second Street lodging house, and was hospitalized after a greenish swelling, swollen lips, and a numb tongue. Doctor Thompson treated the gangrenous wound, lancing the lip and draining pus as Lewis remained unable to speak clearly.
