"The Burlington & Mi.ssouii River rail
road will put in no cheap rates from
Omaha to the Corbett-Fitzsuiiuious fight
at Chi son City , Nev. , or am where ehe.
The rate of $65 ( or the round trip from
Omaha , previously announced will not
apply via the Burlington route. We do
not want any of this prize fight business" ,
said General Passenger A > nt Francis of
the B & M. to a Bee reporter this morn
ing.
ing."I
"I have carefully considered this mat
ter" , continued Mr. Franci"and last
night decided to take a stand against
granting any privileges to the class of
people attracted to a prize fight. This
morning I have issued instructions toour
soliciting passenger agents and other
representatives , notifying them that the
Burlington would not make any reduced
rates or grant other conces-sions for this
prize tight" .
The foregoing announcment created
consternation in local railway circles ,
even among the Burlington attaches of
lower rank than the general passenger
agent. Circulars announcing a rate of
$15 for the round trip and the advantages
of the Burlington route has just been
prepared and weie about to be sent out.
They were all destroyed. This action on
the part of the passenger department of
the B. & M road is independent of the
move made against the prize fighters 03'
General Passenger Agent Eustis of the
Burlington in Chicago , yesterday , al
though in accord with the policy named
by him. Up until noon no action had
been taken by the other three roads
seeking business from Omaha to the
;
fight , the Union Pacific , the Rock Island
and the Missouri Pacific , ann it is gener
ally believrri that they will not withdraw
:
the rate of $65 for the round trip already
announced. Omaha Bee.
