For some time difference of opinion
has existed between the railroad compa-
MES in Saltwater and the transfer COM
pany in that city as to the transfer bust
ness. The railroad companies think the
transfer company claims too much and
leaves too little for them. The matter is
likely to be brought to some kind of So
luton seSn, as the parties were taking
testimony yesterday at the Office of the |
ST. Paul & Duluth railroad, before ref
cree. Senator Castle and Fayette Marsh |
were present and engaged.
Just when the railroads were congrat-
ulating themselves that the worst of the
season was over and that the storm which |
for several days had blockaded the trains,
delayed business and interfered with |
travel, had so far spent itself that NO fur
ther inconvenience was to be apprehended
from it, another one came up that at
once, and suddenly upset all their calcu-
lat1ons. Thursday night it commenced
showing and blowing all over the prairie
northwest of st. Paul. and all the way
through to Winnipeg. From Crooks
ton to Winnipeg it was decidedly
the worst Of the season. The
went down, the wind
howled and blew hurricane, while the
snow that fell. though not remark able
on account of the large quantity, was
drifted continually and in such manner
that railroad travel was suspended. The
bulletin board at the Union depot yester-
day afternoon showed that the Northern
Pacific train vas nine hours late, the
Fergus Falls ten hours late and the
train sixteen hours late. 1t
was expected that they would make their
way through and reach 81. Paul some
lime during the afternoon or evening.
No train was sent out for Manitoba last
night.
