BOROUGH VS.. CORPORATION.
A Bioodless Battle with RaIIroaders at
Bellwood, Pa.

bioodiess Baltic with Raiiroaders at
Bellwood, Pa.
ALTOONA, Pa, Oct. 9.-Quite n lively
fight is on between the Pennsylvania Rail
road company and the little borough of
Bellwood, seven miles east of this place,
The borough has been engaged for some
past at laying water pipe into the town
a.. Il through the streets, and at present
the work is about complete with the ex-
ception of the making of a connect
ing link across the tracks of the rail-
road. This work 1t was the intention of
the borough authorities to do on Satur-
day night, and for the purpose of accom-
plishing their object without interfering
with travel they had secured the services
of large number Of coal miners to tuu-
mel under the tracks. Before either the
men or material could be put to use a
force of railroad laborers appeared upon
the scene and began to dig bitches par
allel with the tracks on either side and
also to run a tunnel under the tracks
at the point where the borough people de.
sired to cross, the intention being to fill all
three with water and thus bar the Dor.
ough people out.
But the borough people, thinking they
saw way ont of their difficulty, deter.
mined to head the railroaders off by using
their ditch in which to lay the pipes. their
aim being to get across no matter what
ditch was used. To this, however, the
railroad people objected, and cars loaded
with cinders were run up The filling of
the bitches would have been soon com
pleted If the Bellwood Fire company with
a chemical engine had not appeared on the
scene and commenced to play upon the
railroad contingent, driving them away
from the work. The ralroaders then be-
gan to flourish revolvers, and stones flew
thick as hall. but no one was hurt with
the exception of Borough Engineer Get
tleman, who was struck on the head with
large stone and quite seriously injured.
1t being now near midnight, Chief Bur
CESS Sher notified the borough people to
quit work, and notified the railroad en-
ployes that if any of them did single
stroke of work at that place during the
hours of Sunday, arrest would at once fol-
low. This brought the hostilities to q
close for the time being, but it is expected
the war will break out afresh
The railroad people have made new
move by serving an injunction on the Bell
wood people, claiming that the water they
wish to use belongs TO the railroad, and
that the erection of a dam and crossing
their tracks by pipe line will be dan
gerouS.
