Mr. Thomas Holden, for the past nine years a passenger con-
ductor on the DSS&A has resigned his position with the road,
his resignation taking effect Wednesday. Mr. Holden has sev-
eral offers from other roads and will probably take a train on
the MStP&SSM. He was one of the most popular conductors on the
line, and will be sure to gain pospularity wherever he goes. He
is a man who combines faithful work with courteous treatment of
the public and makes friends wherever he goes. He leaves for
his new field of labor in a few days.
