boyhood Thirteen years ago he became
interested in stock raising. and in 1892 be

FILES IT'S ANSWER.
BriShtwOOd II. II. Co. Responds to Me-
trOpOlftan in Trnckage Proceedings.


The Brightwood Railroad Company has
filed exceptions to the answer of the Met
ropolitan Railroad Company in the proceed
ings for mutual trackage arrangements in
sttuted against the latter company by the
former. The exceptions to the answer are
that the Metropolitan company has not re-
sponded as to the schedules for its cars; as
to the compensation to be received by it for
the use of its tracks and motive power; as
to the routes over the tracks of which the
Brightwood company proposes to operate
Its cars, and because the answer is not in
conformity with the order of the court.
The answer is also alleged to be evasive
and to contain many irrelevant matters
and discussion wholly for eign to the sub
jeet matter of the original petition.
The exceptions further allege the part
OF the answer which relates to suggestions
of mechanical difficulties said to be" con-
nected with the carrying into effect of the
positive directions of Congress- that recip
rocal trackage arrangements should be en-
tered into by the two companies, are not
pertinent to the questions to be decided in
this cause, and should be expunged from
the answer.
The Brightwood company declares a large
Evening star., 1898-11-17

part Of the Metropolitan answer is devoted
TO specious argument claiming that the
legislation requiring the road to enter into
reciprocal trackage arrangements is un-
just Such an objection, it is contended
has no place in this proceeding and should
be exounged.
The Metropolitan answer. it is further
GAINED, does not contain any proposition
on the part of the company for the opera
uon of its cars on the tracks of the Bright
wood company.
1t is prayed that the Metropolitan COM
pahy be compelled to amend its answer and

evasion and emitting all Irrelevant, irnma-
teriai and impertinent matters.
