The Missouri Pacific corporation is recog-
nizing the handwriting on the wall and is pre-
barring TO incorporate as a railroad company
In Nebraska as required by law. When the
general attorney Of the road was in the city a
Few days ago he stated that his company
stood ready to incorporate in Nebraska, and
that fnandamus proceedings would not be
M ,essary against their road. Yesterday,
therefore, in compliance with this statement,
Che certificate Of organization of the Missouri
Pacific railway company in Nebraska, the
articles of incorporation and the resolution,
consolidating, were tled with the county
blerk of this county. The company having
teken this step will be better prepared in the
Future TO sec ire and protect their right Of
way, and IL is probable that their action will
have O due effect on the cases now pending in
which parties have entered litigation for pay
tnent of right Of way already used, on the
grounds that the road, net being incorpo-
Eated in the state, had not the right Of emf
pent domain.

THE ASSAULT CASE.
Justice Cochran, after hearing arguments,
has dismissed the case brought by j. III.
Dean against the b.. & M. special police for
assault committed on the depot platform last
week. The testimony was conflicting and
the company had a good supply of of wit
ncsses to swear on their side of the case.
Nhe defense was that Dean had approached
too near the engine and that he was sus-
pccted of intent to sand it.
The decision of the justice meets with q
great deal of criticism.
