EARLY RAILROAD PROBLEMS HERE TOLD BY HASWELL
Historian of Ozarks Region -= , Relates Story of Develop- ment Here From Time First Train Arrived in 1870
EACH 'TOWN' ANXIOUS TO HAVE OWN RAILROAD

ASITEN citizens of Springfield hall a century ago through thetr faith and forweight turned toward this city the prosperity now enjoyed. "recalls A. M. Haswell, of Mans- Odd, Mo, widely known authority "oh Omary history who formerly lived bert.
: These men started the buliding of a railroad which should be Springfield's own after it appeared ,that an old readied for which much money had been spent would be abondoned.
The romantic history of Spring- field's earir rallroad« as written by Mr. Haswell is as follows:
FIRST TRAIN IN 1870
That which has been for many Fears the "Frisco" rallroad. reached Sorth Springfield. A mile and a parter from the public square of the old town, late in the afternoon : Apr !! ), 14:0. That was the onstruction train. but un May 3 following, came our first excursion

Over on the south side too there was a platform in front of the court i aanda the bullde ing of the Heer stores company) and there was much eloquence and "Peritication. But in. the old town Celebration there was not lacking -heart burn and bitterness, because the railroad, longed for and worked for since 1852, had, now that it was Fait started a rival town among the post oak and black jack bruab far to the north. More. than one - man quietly said to his neighbor: "Just wait. our turn will come jet."
Indeed, nearly two years before the railroad arrived, as soon in fact! 40 it became known that the depot would be located outside of the city Laite, there was active agitation among the business men of old town advocating voting bonds for. i R.Micine stock in any company Wi would -build a line to Spring- orMd proper. 80 in September 1869. the county court, in compliance With many long petitions, submitted a proposition to subscribe for $300,- % of stock. $160,000 to bo stock of Fort Scott, Springfield and Mem- phis railroad, and $120,000 in that of the Kansas City and Memphis railroad. That was put to vote and defeated by a large majority.
COURT TAKES ACTION -
But defeat at the polls "did not und the matter. for in the now! year. 1870, the county court took the bold atep of subscribing for an Lesue of $400,000 'in bonds The court consisted of three members, Ralph Walker, presiding Justice; R. P. Matthewe and Benjamin Kite, asso- ciate justices. Matthews voted for ' the bonds. Kite voted against them ` and Walker cast his deciding vote "for them. Kite protested vigorous- ' ly against the Issue, on the grounds that It was illegal unless voted on by the people, but legal advice told the court that they had the right to Issue the bonds, and it was done. Before the sale of them could be enjoined by law. $220.000 were in the hands of "innocent purchasers" jand a fight against paying them sprang up. . That fight jasted for Years, until at last the suprenie court of the I'nited States sab! that Greene county must pay, principal . and Interest. Incidentally. Judge . Kite's opposition to the bonds re- sulted In his election as presiding :istice of the county court, and hit was reelected for so many years that be holds the record for long service in that position. Also, Incl-i

time in which indignant Cass !
county farmers, lynched thelr : county court, fer precisely such : action as that taken by the Greene county officials! The day that the word came that the londs had to be paid, a group of farmers were In the ratroad and office in North Springfield, and excitedy debated the news. Sald one young man. "Greene County will never far [them. We'll fight first!" At that ·an old ex-Confederate soldier spoke: "Well if you young fellers wah: to buck agin' U'ncle Sam. Li Frecken you will de " But Let me'

Meanwhile the road had been graded from Springfield through Bols d'Arc and Ash Grove to the ! Dade county line. Then came ti.c. tale of 1873, and the roadbed Juy ! wasting away under action of the -elements for years. And now comen the story of as plucky and gallant un act as can be told in the history of any town. For seven nien, none of them of great wealth at the time, stepped forward and did that which threw open the doors of pros- perity to Springfield. Those seven Springfield men, quietly put their hands Into their own pockets. bought ralls and ties, and began to build on the old roadbed of 1870, a railroad that should be Spring-
