The Choctaw Railway Company.

Speclal 10 the gazette
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., Aug. 13-Judge
Clark to-day signed the attachment papers
against the Choctaw railway company.
These proceedings are the outcome of two
suits which were filed in the district clerk 5
Office last evening by Hudson & Sanford,
who are acting as attorneys for
A. N. Spencer and T. H. Howard.
The plaintiffs are road contractors,
and bring the suits to compel the payment
of moneys due on contracts. Mr.. Spencer
alleges in his bill that there is still due him
S33, 72S from the Choctaw, for work in
grading the road into Oklahoma
Towards suit is for $3.50 for
performing work on bridges, culverts,
etc, and furnishing material for the same
1t is thought that instead of delaying mat
tiers, the bringing of these suits will
hasten the completion of the road. 1t is
limited the delay heretofore has been
occasioned by game of fneeze-out,
which the Eastern stockholders are
little fishes. 1t is contended that as a re-
suit of this attempted policy the two re-
ceivers appointed by the United States
court have been unable to work together in
harmony. One OF them is urging the
speedy completion of the road, which
the other one has so far opposed The
probable upshot of the whole matter
will be that Judge Clark will be asked to
set aside the appointments of the present
receivers, and fill their places with men
who will work for the best interest of the
road
