Funeral for James H. Patterson Follows Tragedy Near Rowesville
Funeral services for James H. Patterson, victim of Sunday night tragedy near Rowesville, were held at Holy Trinity Catholic church with Father J. D. Quinn presiding. Patterson, a Cow Castle drainage superintendent, was formerly of Ottawa Illinois. The affair has stirred strong public emotion and the case against E N Mittle, jailed in the penitentiary, draws wide attention as trial approaches in January with defense counsel expected from Patterson’s circle. The matter includes questions of marriage legality and possible divorce, and defense plans aim to show Patterson’s alleged wife was Mittle’s wife. The outcome remains uncertain and highly contested.

St Paul Plans 999 Year Lease Of Terre Haute Line
The St Paul proposes a 999 year lease that is effectively a sale of the Chicago to Westport line via Terre Haute Indiana, a 14 mile tract tied to the Indiana coal field. Coal supply drives the lease as St Paul seeks its own and commercial coal for the northwest, reducing reliance on Terre Haute coal. The venture would extend coal transport through Terre Haute to serve St Paul’s network.
