Row Over FreIght-An Express Conn
Pany's Efforts to Get Their Goods Trans
ported.
FIT. WORTH. March 17.-Serious trouble
has broken out between the Missouri Pacific
railroad and Texas Express company. The
former does not allow the latter to transport
goods on the road, but on Saturday the Texas
Express people insisted that It should take
their freight. This was declined and the
Texas Express blockaded the way to the Mis-
souri, Pacific cars and by force prevented the
Pacific Express from loading their freight.
Yesterday the railroad station presented a
warlike appearance, each side having
several well armed men present, but no
conflict took place. Superintendent Vandyne
of the Missouri Pacific issued an order which
it was thought would insure the shipment OF
the Pacific Express goods, but the Texas Ex-
press folks say their freight must go too or
there will he trouble. The aid of the county
and city authorities has been invoked and the
State laws will be enforced.
