The Trouble Between the Milwaukee
and the Transfer Company.
LAYING STRINGERS AND TIES
Letter From a Woman Who Is CUTTING
a Third Set Of
Teeth.

a feature of the complicated situation
involving the Saltwater Union Depot
and Transfer company and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway COM
pany came up before Judge McCluer at
chambers yesterday, when the attorneys
appeared prepared to argue the ques-
ton of fact raised by the receiver of the
transfer company as to whether there
was any contract in existence binding
the transfer company to grant the
privileges claimed by the railway peo-
pie. 1t was, however, insisted by one
side that it was not required that the
issue of fact should be settled until
after decisive question of law involved
should be determined. This claim was
practically allowed, and the proceed
ings were suspended until the next
special term of court, when tine
legal issue will be tried. The
matter at issue grows out of an old
agreement alleged to have been made
between the railway company and GER
tain Saltwater citizens by which the
Milwaukee road, in consideration of its
building the Saltwater and Hastings
branch, should have track and yard
the depot and transfer company. The
citizens here are indirectly interested
i'll the matter. for the reason that, on
account of the disagreement between
the two corporations, the Milwaukee
company has refused to come into the
new union station. but maintains Its
depot in One-Sided and announcement
location. The railway company claims
that 1t agreed to be come one of the
union station tenants with the under
standing that the privileges now dis
puted we're allowed.
