that he had not believed it possible that palpa-

Legal Proceedings at Omaha.

c VA, March 14-The answer of Nicholas
We representing the Union Pacific en-
eine, was filed to-day in the United Statss
Court, oy their attorney. General Gown, in the
injunction suit The answer, which is volum-
inous, denies all allegations of the bill, which
alleged that the Union Pacific refused to ex.
change traffic with the Burlington & Missouri,
ha2de its cars, etc. The answer AYERS on tho
contrary. that the Union Pacific does ex-
change traffic with the complainant, and handles
its cars in the same manner as those of other
roads, and this performance of duty on the part
of the Union Pacific, through its engineers and
fremen the answer claims 10 be the cause of
the present suit, as undertaken and instituted
by perfect understanding between the two
roads Tor the purpose OF Hbelinc, intimidatina
ana oppressing the defendants to the bill. and
this action is claimed to have the effect OF
making the engineers subject to every arbitrary
order that the two roads may issue for the beue-
lit or the Burlington d Missouri by either driv-
ing out of employment the engineers or coTn-
pelling them TO work for inordinately low
wages. The charges Of conspiracy denied in
is claimed to be in the inability
of the engineers to support, maintain and edu-
cate their families becomingly wages paid
them by the Burlington ds Missouri. The
tyranny of the road is complained of, and all
legal means to resist it. whether by meetings on
tho part of the engineers otherwise, is claimed
as q right. Ia conclusion, the answer denies
that the power of the court TO compel ali or any
of the defendants TO continue work whenever it
is his or their desire to onit, and asks that the
temporary restraining order be dissolved The
answer was a great surprise, and further time
was asked by the Burlington q Missouri coun-
sci in which to submit affdavits denying the
statements contained in it. The Union Pacific
attorney urged a speedy decision of the great
