Decided Asainss the Roads.

The state railroad commission made public it's decision on the 10th in the suit brought against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern and the St. Louis Southwestern railroads by the Frauenthal Cotton Company, of Con- way, to recover the sum of si1.94, al- legged to be the amount of an over charge on a shipment of a car of cotton seed from England to Conway. The car was handled by the Cotton Belt railroad from England to Little Rock, and by the Iron Mountain railroad from Little Rock to Conway. The plaintiff alleged that the rate charged for the car was sl1.94 in excess of the rate fixed by the railroad commission. The opinion in brief finds that the roads named have disregarded the orders of the commission in the instance named and under section IS of the railroad commission laws the prosecuting attor- neys of the district in which the plain tiffs reside are instructed to bring suit at once for $500 in each case, the de- fendants to also refund the s11.94 over. charge.
