TJie rumors of the new stage line that i have l«en flying thick and fast for the past several months were laid to rest Saturday by General Manager Abbott of the Klamath Ixtke railroad.

Several in stances have arisen where agents haze been negligent in this matter, and in | each case the railroad has [raid back to the |>erson affected the expense he has been put to.
