First Sentence: Early in the spring of 1873, a surveying party headed by Chief-Engineer Nugent, with instruments, camp equipments, and the usual number of "supes," left the terminus of the -- Railroad to "strike a line" for a branch extension, which was to be pushed through without delay. (Good News edition)
Last Sentence: "Suffice it to say that we completed the work which had cost our chief his life, without further interruption; and that the inhabitants along the line of the now prosperous road are civilized and law-abiding, and well content to hear the shill scream of the iron horse, as it speeds past the spot where poor Nugent was most foully murdered."
