QUEER ROAD C. L. & M. the Only Independent Road in the Country. Perhaps the queerest little railroad in the United States is the Columbus Lima & Milwaukee that ex tends from North Lima Ohio, to Defiance. This road crosses the Nickle Plato and the Clover Leaf at Continenatl, Ohio. The business of the road is purely local and it has neither depots nor station agents. The conductor of the one train that runs over v; is the whole thing in the transportation department. A telegraph line and the operation is not known on the road, communication between dfferent points being carried on by a single line of telephone.' Formerly the road had two engines, but one of these got out of repair and has not been in the ser vice for some months, one engine now constituting the entire power. When this gets out of repair the services of a blacksmith at Continental is called for. If the breakdown occurs along the line the smith packs a kit of tools mounts a track bicycle and goes to the engine and makes the repairs that are necessary to enable it to get to the end of the run. It is said that the one train does not run everyday but makes a trip when business demands. SERVICES TODAY Remains of Walter Chapman to be Taken to Orville, 0., for Burial.
