THE Railroad Monarch In the Tolls
oil Missouri Law.


st, Louis, Mo, March 2.-Circuit
Attorney Glover this morning pre-
sentcd to the circuit court here an ap-
plicaiion for an Injunction TO restrain
Jay Gould and other directors from
voting Mt the annual election for Off
GERS of the Iron Mountain road on the
ION INST, S22 100000 of stock of that
road, which he holds as trustee. 1t is
alleged that Gould and other officials
Of the Missouri Pacific obtained IL as
the result OF conspiracy which they
formed TO give their road control over
the Iron Mountain; that in pursuance
OF that conspiracy they increased the
stock of the Missouri Pacific $30,00U,-
900, and used this increase to buy up
stock of the Iron Mountain. which
was much less valuable, paving three
shares of Missouri Pacific for four of
Iron Mountain; that one of the con-
ditioDs of the purchase was that
Gould was to hold all of the
purchased stock as trustee, although
for whom he acts as trustee has al
ways remained a secret, aud finally
that inasmuch as he clearly repre-
sents the Missouri Pacific he has no
right to vote these $22000,000 aud
because the Missouri Pacific operates
the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas rail-
road which was in fact a parallel road,
aud because the state constitution
prohibits two parallel lines from
being operated by the same manage
meni. An alternative writ of in
junction issued, returnable next
Thursday. II the court sustains the
injunction only 900 shares of Iron
Mountain stock will be left free to
vote at the annual meeting, and strong
points will be gained by men who are
cndcavoring to wrest the from Noun
tain and Wabash from the control of
Gould and the Missouri Pacific.
