Mrs. M. Beaune was at St. Paul last week Thursday, called there by the illness of her father, Mr. Bullion, who accompanied her home and was taken to Neillsville to be cared for at the home of his son Rob’t Bullion - It is with sincere pleasure that Tom Searles’ many friends along this part of the Omaha learn of his reinstatement as passenger conductor in the company’s service.  This restores him to his full rights and puts him in his former position as extra passenger conductor and in regular order for promotion to a steady run. Good for Tom. - Merrillan Leader.
