Gus trouble has broken out between the
Missouri Pacific Railway and the Texas
Express Company. = The former does not
permit the latter to transport goods on
its road, but on Saturday the Texas Ex-
press people insisted that it should take
their freight to Whitesboro. This
was declined, and the Texas EX-
press blockadcd the way to the Mis-
souri, Pacific cars, and by force prevented
the Pacific Express from unloading their
freight. Sunday the railroad station pre-
scented warlikc appearance, each side
having scycra! well-armed men present,
but no conflict took place, Superintend-
eut Nandyne, of the Missouri Pacific
Railway 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 90, too,
or there will be trouble. The aid Of the
county and city authorities have been in
yOked and the State law will be enforced.
