Young Quick, who was connected with Contractor Pierce during the building of the Gulf road, is in the city to-day, and says he was ordered here by the contractor, who has the contract for constructing six miles south from “station 800” on the Chi- cago, Ft. Scott & Texas railroad. Mr. Quick was seen by a Standard reporter, who asked him numerous questions regarding the road, but he was reticent, and would say very little beyond the fact that work is to begin next week. Mr. Pierce, he said, made an effort to get a longer contract, but failed, and had to con- tent himself with the six miles. A reporter met C. H. Zoll, who was with the surveying party when the road was located, and asked him about “station 800." Mr. Zoll said it was in the neighborhood of Fay- etteville. on the farm, he thinks, of Mr. Stewart. The contractor owns quite a number of teams, and will put them to work on the line.—War- rensburg Standard The Loss by Drouth.
