S. and A., have brought him into contract [*contact] with large numbers of the employes of the road in this city and along the line besides the engine crews and considering the time that he has been here, the Mining Journal can safely say that no more popular railroad man has ever been connected with an upper peninsula road. The "boys" didn't feel at all pleased when his resignation was rumored about and the fact speaks well for Mr. Sedgwick for they are a shrewd body of men and don't take much stock in an official unless they find in him a thorough underst and ing of what may be called the science of railroading and a comprehensive grasp of the duties of his position, as well as executive ability and sterling qualities as a man. Outside of local railroad circles too, Mr. Sedgwick has been as happy as Mr. Boyd in forming friendships and the departure of both gentlemen will be deeply regretted by the people of Marquette.
