THE FOX RALLROAD. Why Work Began Last Fall—A Little Premature. From the Appleten Journal. There has been a great deal of talk in regard to the building of the St. Louts, Ex a & We We have remained quiet and rp rail- road. refraisicd from sp subject. but now th akong rnuch on the everybody else have spoken, we will give to the pub- j lic what we understand to be thei facts. | It was not die intention ot the company to grade any part of the The company, proper, let the building ot line before the spring of 1584. the road to the construction compa- ay, andthe contract did not require the grading to begin before April or May, 1584. It was the of the construction company tomake calenlation the survey, locate the line and record it, and do all the prelimimary work preparatory to the grade in the spring. This was din:, and here the company expeted to stop. There had bdeeu no financial arrange ments made to do anything more toward this part of the road. The people at Rich Hill became anxious counteract the —they to growth of Walnut; the Coil. E W. Fox the necessity grading part of the line between Rich Hill and the river during Sep- tember and October, as it could only be done in dry weather. Mr. J. v. Scott lived at Rich Hill was a_ rail- road contractor, and was anxious to do the work. He offered to take his pay in half bonds and half cash. Fox hesitated and never consented to the terms until he had the strong- est assurance from private individ— vals that they would cash enough of bonds to enable him to pay the one- half cash if he would let Scott go to work and grade the bottom. With this understanding Scott went to work. When Appleton City people learned that they had begun work at Rich Hill they sent for Col. Fox and wanted work to begin here. He plainly stated that the company was not financially prepared to pay and that it had made no arrangements to do any work before spring, and that he had only begun grading at Rich Hill because of the condition of the hottom and upon the assurance from would of He urged upon ot certain individuals that they take care of a sufficient bonds to enable to said that he be work here before he has dispos of ponds, We made arrangements to take care of enough of them to grade eight miles, provided, howeyer that amount pay. mn him could not his the other eight would also be taken care of and work begiton it at the sane time. The offer ed and work began here at Appleton was accept- under this kind of an understanding. | arose be- A matter of difference tween Fox, Scott and certain parties at Rich Hall and this caused work Jo stop all along the line. It was perhaps well enough, as there has} not beer a week since work stopped im that men and teams could have grad- ed. Itwas generally understood that no work of any consequence could be done after Dec rst, and there was really more accomplished than the most sanguine predicted. We all thought that bad weather would prevent a great deal of gradiy be- ing done. The moment work ceas ed everybody had the company “busted,’” and seemed to take de ight in talking it. Men would come im from the country and ask why they were not at work on the road. Weare reliably informed by those the whose business itis to know all facts, that arrangements will all have been pertected for the completion ot the grade between Rich Hill and Ap- pleton in early spring. The work will permit and pushed with all pos- speed. There always a wheel within a wheel and sometimes is difficult to the ‘twhy and sible as “wherefores usnmds.
