COUNCIL BLUFFS, March l5.--An OF the Union
Pacific engineers who abandoned their engines
yesterday are on duty again this morning, and the
freight trafhc OF the road Is going on as
usual II Is stated that the engineers
were last night given to understand that they
were not compelled 10 handle Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy freight II they did not desire 10,
and as consequence all the cars OF that
nne are apparently being side-tracked In
the Union Pacinc yaruS At the transfer in this
city and the regular freight and yard crews are
going ahead with their work as usual. Their
YARDS are crowded with Chicago, Burlington and
receive them their tracks win soon be filled to
SUCH an extent as to cause them considerable diff
ncuity In making up tLeir own trains The DIM
Guilty seems entirely settled SO FAR as

the company has evidently determined to
