versey to the application OF Samuel i. Dlns-
more for an injunction TO restrain the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad Company from paving the
rent due on leases Of nve railroads in Missouri
made To the company Ivy what Is now known as
tho Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. while
denying the application for the injunction,
Judge Daniels, In his elaborate opinion, rests
his decision upon the ground that all the ncces-
sarv parties to the suit are NOT Included IN the
the plainiins petition. the leases he holds to
will estop the payment Of me rents.
The Missouri Pacific road WAS originally called
simply the Pacific. Its main lines FROM st
Louis to Kansas City, and 1t had what was known
a. the Southwest Branch, which left the main
line at Franklin, in Franklin county, forty miles
west OF st. Louis and was projected to the eI-
road and its important branch were largely aided
by the states endorsement Of its bonds the

to prevent a forfeiture of the lands granted to
the Southwest Branch finally organized them

sour Pacific" and the south Pacific taking
the principal part of the properly. The south
Pacific aftcrward extended what had been The
Southwest Branch to Springfield, in Greene
county. About the time that point was reached
Gen. John G. Fremont got a controlling interest
In the latter company. and according to
his custom set about cnldrgiug tie pro-
iect. lie and his friends procured from
Congress a charter for the Atlantic and
Pacific, projecting a road to California, and
endowed with amuut,Cn grant uf alternate
sections Of the public lands 10 bc traver,cd.
This corporation soon virtually swallowed up
the South Pacific, but II was necessary for many
reasons To maintain th' organization OF the
