Tyler on or before the first OF Jaly
next Thee subpenss were issued 10
creditors To show cause why the mort
gage for the first bonds issued TO Hen
derson, who hypothccated them to the
Rolling Miil for irol, should not be
foteclosed. The suhpRuas cite every
To give preference Ia this mortgage.
IL IL not known what is set forth in
the affidavit upon which the sppoint-
ment OF the receiver was made, there
fore DR.. Reed telegraphed to Tyler last
night for cory Of the whole bill 10 he
made aud sent here immediately,
when come rich developments are ex-
pected
DIR. Calder was called upon at the
LeGrand hotel early las. night, and
after some 7, uetsnce answered the
question OF what he knew about the
matter by saying that 'Trs Harris, OF
RosedEle, Kansas, had been appointed
receiver Of the road by Judge Woods
OF the United States circuit court, sit
ting at Atlantis, Georgia, on the cath
Of this month. Ah0ut hal'-past three
o'clock deputy United States Marshal
Anderson arrived from Tyler, aud
shortly Afterwards served subpoena
upon DR.. Reed Of the road and others
to appear at Tyler ou or before the first
day Of July. The receiver il ordered
by the court 20 complete the road to
the twenty mile point in time To save
the charter from forfeiting. All the
trains Will be run under my direction
AS general manager. Our intention is
not only 10 carry 1t to the twenty mile
poiut, but TO Lewisville. The point 10
having a receiver appointed was to
save the charter. Mr.. Harris is man
ageF and treasurer Of the Kansas Roll
Ing Mill company, Of Rosedale, Kan.
sas, but ia acting nov merely "a re-
eeiver. He gave bond In the sum OF
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
bond was made In Ohio"
DIR. Reed, when called upon, said
he was very much surprised that re-
ceiver Of the road had been appointed,
and that he couic not understand what
there was here for the receiver to re-
csive. The trains. he said, would con-
tinus TO run under bis direction unless
interiered with by some superior au.
th0rity to our circuit court. He did
not feel the least concerned a to the
result % the matter. He had already
had considerable experience in this
line, and did not feel annoyed by this
new flank movement Of the enemy.
He thinks he has a. many and as
strong rights as the Rolling Mill, au1
intends To maintain them. He had
bought and paid for iron, and com.
menced on Mondsy morning In dead
earnest TO complete the road to the
sand ridge, the point designated by
the council, and by the time set by
them. Already the bridges are ready
for ties. He returned from the front
late yesterday evening, and found the
ties nearly all laid across the grade to
the sand ridge and nearly ready for the
iron. He regards the Calder scheme
as bulldoZing movement to break
him down IN mis- rights.
Ii Is well known that Dr. Reed has
been waiting ever since the I4ih of
February, upon The Rolling Mill for the
iron to bnild the road to point at or
near the twenty-miie point, and would
have had 1t In sight of this twenty
mile point by the Goth OF February but
for the refusal Of the Rolling Mill to
send the iron.
The extraordinary and most unusual
action Of Judge Wood, Of the United
Ststes circuit court in appointing .
receiver OF the Dallas and Wichita
railroad company. by which every
thing which the road had was taken
yesterday and placed In the hands
OF Mr.. Harris, one OF the officers Of
the Kansas Rolling Mill company
has been sharply commented on by our
citizens and strongly condemned al
hasty and precipitste, as we'll as In.
furious to the road, and destructive Of
the interests of all connected with
the Dallas and Wichita company, ex
cept the Rolling Mill company.
