STOPS The GREAT WESTERN
Union Pacific Will Not Permit New Road
to Gross It's TRACKS.
BLOCKS THE WAY TO THE TRANSFER DEPOT
Connection IL to BE Made with Bridge
and Terminal Line and Move
Will Not Keep Company
Out of omaha.

Although the controversy has not yet
reached the injunction state, the Union
Pacific railroad yesterday served informal
notice on the Mason City e. Fort Dodge
railroad that It could not permit the laying
OF the %latter's tracks across Its right-of-
way at Union and Ninth avenues. The
Hall Contracting company, which is doing
the grading at this point, received the
notice and work was at once stopped until
some settlement is reached.
The Great Western has brought suit to
force the Union Pacific to grant 1t the use
OF its bridge across the Missouri river and
until some agreement is reached between
the two roads in this respect It is under
stood the Union Pacific will refuse to
allow the Great Western to construct it's
approach to the Transfer depot, at least
so far as the work is TO be done on prop,
erty belonging to the Union Pacific.
The controversy between the Union Pa
cihc and the Great Western, 1t was stated
yesterday by attorneys for both sides, would
not in any way interfere with the work
OF the Great Western in this city, which is
also making connections with the omaha
Bridge and Terminal tracks.

Case.

DIES MONIES, Nov. sc. w. Mulian,

of Saving IL.

DEADwooD. S. D.. Nov. 2s.-(special

IRE broke out in the business part Of
the owl OF Rockford. A high wind was
blowing at the time, and the fire spread
with great rapidity. 1t soon enyeloped
the only business street Of the camp in

The camp has no FIRE department, and
as the town is far from any other from

though 1t was doomed to destruction. At
this time one-half Of the camp has been
burned over, and It is thought that the
rest will be destroyed.
The fire started from a defective nue.
The loss will be heavy and the insurance

THREATENS IOWA MERCHANT
Morning by Masked
Man,

DEs MONIES, Nov. 2s.-At 2 o'clock this
morning a masked mar summoned John
Blaisdell. a leading merchant of Wright,
to his door and left a note instructing
him to dress and go to a designated spot
and deposit $50 in a receptacle placed there
for that purpose.
The note said 1t was useless to try to
telephone for help, as the wire had been
out, and that failure to comply with the
demand would be followed by the dynamit-
ing OF his residence. Blaisdell summoned
help by telephone. Investigation discloses
that the wrong wire had been cut. A posse
went to the spot designated by the rob-
Der and found the receptacle as described
in the note, but the masked man, who had
doubtless watched their movements, had
disappeared.

and spread them on a bright
cloth on the porch. Then
she warned the family to keep very
quiet and see what happened. In less
than an hour the orioles had taken
every hair and carried it to their tree.
Before many days the pretty nest was
done and the birds were enjoying their
new home.
In the fall, after the orioles had left
their elm tree home, Aunt Lucy had
some one climb the tree and geN the
nest, and there so curiously woven into
the lining, were the soft white, goldeH
and black hairs. .... .....

The birds were beautiful orioles and
you know the curious, pretty nests the
orioles make, swinging like soft,
gray. silken bag from the high branch
Of some elm tree.
Just three springs ago, the orioles
had come to this grand, old chm tree
that shaded the porch Of a quiet farm
house.
They had picked out the very
branch they wanted; and now they
must hunt for material to build their
pretty home.
So they few about, chirring and
calling and busily gathering stray
threads and noss-when-oh, Joy!
What was that beautiful, long. white,
silky stuff on the porch Just under
their elm tree home? They flew down
very cautiously. They fitted this way
and that. Dare they take some OF
it, for their airy home? One more
neep-yes-grandpa was sound asleep.
There was no 5oube about it. But how
should orioles know that the long,
white whiskers belonged to him!
They ventured nearer, They pulled
one hair. They grew bolder and
pulled another. Two long, beautiful
silky threads for their nest! They
