BIG CONTRACT IN SIGHT.

John O’Conner of Kniman, who is agent for the Anchor Fencing company of South Bend, is to secure a big contract for hia fencing from the C. & E. I. railroad. He was in Chicago last week where he met several directors and engineers of the road, who thought very favorably of his fence and who gave him assurance that he most likely would receive the contract. If John lands the work it will mean a great deal to him as the Frisco system, owners of the C. &. E. 1., are constructing a new short route between Chicago and St. Louis, which will require a doable fence the entire length of the road. It will also mean that he will supply the road with new fencing jalong their entire system, as fast as it is required. Mr. O’Connor has been instructed by the company to supply them with 1,000 rods of fencing at once and if it proves satisfactory there is no further doubt of his landing the contract. *
