Gary,
Thanks for tackling that.  It confirms both dates, leaving open the question 
about how a Q owned compnay fell on hard times only to be purchased by Perkins 
for the Q.
Appreciate you taking the look for me.
Duncan

  According to the CB&Q Documentary History (Volume 2 Lines in Iowa and 
Missouri. I'm not going to type the entire entry, but on page 1180 the company 
was called St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern RR Company. It ran from Keokuk to 
St. Louis(completed March 4, 18940 and from Keokuk to Mt. Pleasant(Ccompleted 
January 31, 1881).
  After many line additions and name changes, the company was last named 
St.Louis, Keokuk & Western RR.
  On July 7, 1887, the US Circuit Court for the Southern Dist. of Iowa, entered 
a Decree, under which, of date Dec. 22, 1887, P.T. Lomax, Master, sold the road 
to Chales E. Perkins, who bought it in for the CB&Q which Company had already 
in 1880 secured control of the property by purchase of its securities, and 
caused a new compnay to be organized under the laws of Iowa, named StLK&W by 
articles dated Dec. 3, 1887.
  January 7, 1888, Perkins and wife conveyed the road y deed to the new Company.

  I hope this helps. If really, needed I could type the entire entry from the 
book, but it would be a few days.
