ATKINSON, Neb., March 4 —(Special)— Conpsiderable skepticism is being indulged in on the part of Atkimson people regarding the compietion of the Atkinson & Niobrara River rallway. The bullding of this road has been held in agitation for the last four years and oo two occasions indications have pointed very favorably toward its comple- tion. Last fall A. O. Perry, the promoter of the enterprise and superintendent of con- struction, put a large force of laborers o work on the building of the road. He stated &t that time that the road would be com- pleted and that early this spring trains would be running over the line from Atkin- son to Butte, the terminus. The prospects for the opening up of lands {on the Rosebud reservation then caused the company to diversify their original plans snd it was decided that the Atkinson & Niobrara should be extended from Butte into Gregory cousty, South Dakota,. but, when a fow days later the smnnouncement was issued from Elkhorn headquarters to the effect that the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis- sour{ Valley railroad would extend its line from Verdigre through Boyd and inte Greg- ory county, work on the construction of the Atkinson & Nicbrara was discontinued. Meetings of the stockbolders of the latter Tosd were held at Sioux City and reports from these sessions say that the Atkinson & Niobrara would be built Dotwithstanding the Elkhorn extension into their territory, that fheir road would commect with the Great Northern Short Line at O'Nefll and that they would be running cars over their complete line of road from O'Neill via At- kinson to & point in Gregory county—before the Elkborn could complete its line to the Niobrara river from Verdigre. About two weeks ago A. O. Perry returned from a trip to Sioux Oity and amnounced that Bad retired from the company and was no longer identified with the enterpriss. He afirmed, however, that the Atkinson & Niobrara would be completed, and explained the reason for his withdrawal from the road #s ove of its stockhoiders. He stated that be had entered into the enterprise with the sole purpose of giving Boyd county railrosd der to strengthen the corporation by put- ting the management in the hands of a £ !ig. , the pros; were never more unfaverable for the com. pletion of the rosd, and a majority of the followers have given up the idea aliogetper.
