the south bound business from Minneapolis
and St. Paul, between the Milwaukee and St.
Paul line, the Chicago and Northwestern line
and the Omaha line, and the Minnesota and
St. Louis, Burlington. Cedar Rapids and

the Minneto and St. Pierre, or the lines Of
which it forms part. They have not any

by which they are willing that the business
should be divided.
