An Omaha despatch says: Justice Brewer
yesterday denied the application for a super.
sedeas in the Rock Island Union Pacific bridge
case He made decree requiring the sDeo6o
performance OF the contract. and commanding
ell officers and employees OF the companies
concerned to refrain from interfering In any
manner with the prompt enforcement OF the
terms Of contract. The reuuast OF the Rock
Island that the rules OF the Union Pacific be
allowed to govern In tho movement
Of trains until other rules and sched-
ules could be prepared was denied. The
effect OF the denial probably only delays Rock
Island and Milwaukee trains from crossing the {
bridge unit next Saturday. since by that time
new schedules can be prepared by the oper.
ating department OF the roads Interested In ;
case OF q Disagreement, the contract provides :
that 1t shall be settled BY arbitrator. When
the decree was signed the Court instructed
tho Clerk not to enter II upon the records until
the Union Pacific had filed its notice OF appeal 5
and bill OF exceptions. as 1t had given notice OF
doing.
