UNION PACIFIC HEARD Is COURT.

THE CASE OF THE ROCK ISLAND AGAINST THE
UNION PACIFIC HEARD n COURT.
Omaha, June IL (specar.-Thc case of the Rock
Island Railroad against tho Union Pacific because Of
the refusal OF that company 10 permit the former to
cross Its bridge al this point opened in the United
States Court to-day. In his opening statement Judge
Withrow. attorney Of the Rock Island, called the at
tenon OF the court TO the fact that the Missouri Pacific
was direct competitor Of the Rock Island in It's ter
rtory west Of the Missouri River and ntmated that
while the Missouri Pacific not directly interested
in the case on trial. it would be ehown before the case
was finished that the Missouri Pacific largely but
indirectly interested. He then recited facts relating
to efforts Of the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads to
secure charter for bridge the Missouri, in
which they were successful In February 1891. These
two roads then began to make arrangements for going
ahead with the bridge and building their own main
line to connect with their Western lines He stated
at length the efforts the part Of the Onion Pacific
to block the move of the Rock Island and the Mil
yankee. Judge Withrow gave history Of the con-
tract between the roads. The Union Pacific
has entered into the performance Of the
contract by using the tracks Of the Rock
Island between Mcpherson and IIutchison. The
Union Pacific continued to use these tracks until two
weeks after the present suit had been brought. He
then referred to the changes which took place IN the
management Of the Union Pacific and alluded to the
Incidents which followed characteristic OF the Gould
management of roads Coming to the letter of Govern
ment Director Plummer. Judge withrow stated that
he had been curious to know to whom Mr.. Plummer
alluded when he said :" his attention had been called
to the contract
Mr.. Plummer put on the stand He stated
that his attention had called to the contract by
Judge Dillon. He also stated that he had three inter
views with Jay Could at the atter's house before the
letter was written The main points in the letter
were jofted down at the interview and Mr. Plummer
aferwad wrote the letter in which he asserted that
the Government interests being interfered with
and advising that the operation Of the contract be
suspended
