Hearing of the case is set for December 4th at 10 o’clock in the court house at Ponca, where objections may be filed, according to information received by the News from the Nebraska state railway commission at Lincoln. The move to discontinue two trains, leaving but one train a day each way from Wynot to Sioux City, is explained by E.C. Burdell, superintendent of the Omaha, by a statement claiming an operating loss of $30,000 for the past ten months. A similar application two years ago was heard by Commissioner Randall, who later denied the request, when Wynot businessmen protested it. But the railroad business is reported to have suffered a further decline and the company asks to be relieved of a lost of approximately $3000 a month.
