The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday May 12, 1899 Women In A Box Car. It is no uncommon sight to see men crawl out of box cars when the freight trains are switching in the yards at this place, but last Friday those who were at the depot when the local freight pulled in witnessed an unusual occurrence. Two middle aged women accompained by a little girl about five years old alighted from one of the cars and made their way to their elevator where they sat down in the shade and rested for some time. They were tough looking specimens and only remained until the next freight came along when they were informed by the city marshal that it would be necessary for them to leave town.
