HARRY KURRIE’S BIG BOOST.

Harry R. Kurrie, of our city, for the past five years assistant general solicitor for the Monon lines, and a greatly prized and well paid man, has just received an appointment which is probably the best that ever came to a Jasper county attorney, from a financial point of view, as well as for its prospects for future advancement. Ever since he has been in the law department of the Monon, the Big Four people have been after him, with two good offers which he turndown, because of his desire to ’stay with Judge Field, on the Monon, but now their third offer is so big a boost that he does not feel that he ought to miss it. and- thatJs also, the way Judge Field looks at it, as bad as he hates to lose him. His new position is that of As sistant General Attorney, of the entire Big Four System, and he will be second in position in the law department of the whole system, and have general supervision of all the litigation of the company. His headquarters will be at Cincinnati, and his woik mostly in the office. He does not state just what hii salary is co be, but it is known that it will be moie than 15,000 per year. The prospects for promotion are also excellent, as the Big Four is an in tegral part of the great New Yoik Central system, and there are big 1 jobs, galore, for attorneys who make good in the branch system®, like the Big Four. He will begin 1 the duties of his new pos tion as soon as a suitable successor can be found for his place in the Monon, which itself is a $3,000 job, and not likely to.go a‘begging very long. Rensselaer will continue to be Mr. Kurrie’s home tovu and he 1 will be back and forih about as 1 often as he has been while in the I Monon’s employ.
