HOW MUCH OF A GoRRLEs
That is the Question of Law Argued Touch.
ing the Width of a Bridge,

Tnat IL tne question oil Law Argued Touchs
ing the Width of Bridge.
An argument was had before Judge Slagle
yesterday afternoon in the equity proceedings
Of McFadden against the Ohio Connecting
Railway Company. The argument was on the
request for preliminary injunction to restrain
the railway company from taking possession
of a strip more than 80 feet wide of the plain
tif7s property on Brunot's Island. The railroad
is to be built to connect the Panhandle Rail
road with the Ft Wayne Railroad 1t is in
tended to cross the Ohio river and connect
with the latter road at Woods Run. The
bridge will cross over Brunot's Island, and the
company took right of way on the island 100
feet in width.
]. S. Ferguson, Esq, appeared for the
plaintiff and Attorney Gordon for the railway
company. Mr.. Ferguson held that, under the
act of Assembly. a railroad can only take a
right of way so feet in width, unless extra
ground is needed for a station or yard or un-
less the line is along bluff or ravine This is
not the case on the island, and he asked that
the company be enjoined from taking more
than 50 feet.
Mr.. Gordon stated that the company would
cross the island on trestle or a continuation
of the bridge, and 100 feet was necessary for
building the bridge. He maintained that they
had perfect right to take possession of 100
feet; but, if the Judge decided differently,
could at least enter upon that ground to build
the bridge.
Judge Slagle took the papers and reserved
his decision,
