LOMAx ANSWERS.
Saya the Union Pacific Has Not vio-
lated Any Agreement.

OMAHA. Dec. 13.-Replying to the
charges of the Rio Grande in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches this morning
that the Union Pacific has flooded
brokers with blocks of tickets, thus
diverting legitimate Rio Grande traf-
fic and paying heavy commissions for
all business routed over it's line, Gen.
eral Passenger and Ticket Agent Lo-
max denies that the Union Pacific has
violated any agreement. The Utah
agreement is to be taken up at Denver
tomorrow. He asserts that no more
tickets of the Union Pacific are in the
brokers' hands than those of its COM
petltors. and that as to paying eX-
orbitant commissions, the Union Pa
cific officers deprecate the idea, but are
prepared to meet competition in any
and all forms.

WRECK ON THE BINGHAM BRANCH
1t Was Magnified Through the Silly
oF 0ffesnIs

1t Was Magnified Through the Silly
Reticence of officials.
1t was rumored last night that there
was a bad wreck on the Rio Grande
Western near Bingham Junction, and
the rumor grew through the extreme
reticence of those in position to tell
the status of the trouble. They all de-
MED having knowledge of any wreck
they didn't think there was any.
But there was. Happily, it was only
one of minor Importance, an engine on
a freight train having jumped the
track at Revere switch. at point
about ten miles I'D the canyon from
Bingham Junction. and was replaced
after several hours delay. Moral: Give
freely the facts when a wreck occurs.

Police Judge Conlan reduced the
charge to a misdemeanor and there
upon Collier pleaded guilty and paid a
fine of SO. This is a substantial vic

issued in Chicago and sold to Collier
by local ''scalper." Collier was eject

The railroad did not care particularly
to have severe penalty inflicted upon
Collier, but wanted to establish the
principle. The case has excited much
interest in railroad circles all over the
country, as it was regarded as a test
one.
