PURTELLE ROAD IS NOW A GONER

Judge Wason Annuls Charter of Indiana and Northwestern Traction Company’'. Monticello Journal —In the circuit court today Judge Wason annulled the charter in White county of the old Indiana & Northwestern Traction Company, secured by the organization headed by Eugene Purtelle several years ago and which had been allowed to go by default. The suit was brought bw Prosecutor Brockway, on relation of the attorney general, and judgment for plaintiff was rendered as stated. O. L. Brown, who is promoting the new line, which follows practically the same route as the old, was here as an interested party. He was accompanied by W. Stockton, of Round Grove township, who is interested in seeing the road go through. Mr. Brown stated that his plans are maturing nicely and that the failure of the subsidy election to carry in two townships so far will not stop active promotion of the project.
