Of the city prices that We're largely III

| they would lot the road come INTO Town
"Now as. a matter of law aud fact,
they can be thoroughly protected by al,
lowing the road 10 come into town, ana
not obstruct the building Of it, The man-
ner OF procedure In cOmdemnn Ton IS;
| committee of three disinterested
| aud representative citizens, who
are sworn to assess the damages
to the property desired by the rnilrph,l'
a regular day Is set for trial; the ra'l,
road and property owners are nollhed
mud can be represented by attorneys, aud
have process for all Witnesses. The com
| mittee, after hearing the testimony, MS
spsses the damages, and makes us re-
port to the county judge, aud the rail
road company therruppn deposits Win
the county clerk the anonut Of the
award of the arbtrators, The money is
then left there subject to the order oil
the property holder, and If either party
l. dissntisiird with the award Of the ar
hitrntors IL can be Appealed, ana II on
the final trial the property owners sh"nl.i
recover more than the award OF the hrbl

Join the road from remaining p1 the lana
Join the road from running on the land
unless II pnys the amount of the hnN
Judgment So thar he has the security
not only Of the money, but oil the land
''Thr Judge of this county holds thai
he has no right 10 give writ OF pos
session 10 the railroad company If The
award of the arlritrators Is appealed
from. so that YOU see the property own
era who are refusing TO allow the road
the use of the land for Its purposes and
persist In doing SO. knowing Of This
defect In the law, are attempting e
| take advantage of 1t and compel the road
TO pay them whatever fancy price they
see fit 10 place upon their property. Tit
| Rock Island officials dave refused 10 Ne
hlcd aud have. therefore, ordered all tht
work stopped.
AS one Instance of that. one atrty
who Il the most serious obslructiouis,. wa,
AWARDED by the commissioners price
for his pronerty which all his Immediate
neichbors have stated was more Than
the real value. The railroad company
offered him the greenhncks; he said ht
didn't know whether hr could take i 81
not; he wanted TO see his lawyer came
back and refused to take 1t.
Now. the matter IN q nutshell Is this
Tho awards paid by the Rock Island /,
