Show It is about a month now since Colonel Murray telegraphed here from Chicago that he had the money to build the Deep Creek railroad. He has since then gotten a franchise from the council and as that was all he asked for, there would seem to be no reasonable excuse why work should not commence at once. Money is all that is necessary to build railroads, and that Colonel Murray Mur-ray claimed to have had four weeks ago. There is a wise judge up at St. Paul who rejoices in the name of Lochren. May he live a thousand years! The other day a couple came before him, the female part of it being plaintiff in a divorce suit. The testimony developed the fact that about the only cause of trouble was that the husband "staid out o' nights" because his mother-in-law had "too much jaw." Judge Lochren, may his shadow never grow less, sized up the aforesaid mother-in-law and decided de-cided to dismiss the case, advising husband hus-band and wife to go home "and keep the mother-in-law at a good distance." |
