ley's petition for receiver for the Monon
road is more in the nature of checkmate
to Gould's scheme TO get control of this
road. Breyfogle is known to have been
backedby the southern roads, which are
now in Gould's hands, and the recent me-
gotiations between Calvin Brice and Brey-
fogle tended to make the Monon route
the northern terminus of the southern
combination. Alleys petition checks
this, and will probably result in the re
