TRACKS ARE Being LAID
NORTHWESTERN LINE PLACES ITS
STEEL IN CRAwFORDsvILLE.
Old Injunction Is Void and the judges
Having Jurisdfction Are Away
Work Is Being Pushed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSvILLE. Ind, July 2.-The
Indianapolis & Northwestern Traction
Company for the fourth time began TO lay
track in this city at O'Clock this morning.
and by this evening the track is laid on one
square of Main street in the courthouse
square. Twice the company has tried to
do this and was stopped both times by in
functions, but 1t looks very much as if
the work will be completed this time.
The Northwestern line has been given
franchise in the city, but the Council has
not given it the streets wanted, but, In
stead. granted an exclusive franchise TO
the Consolidated Traction line In the city.
agreeing that the Northwestern shall come
in on the Consolidated tracks. and paying
therefor the sum of 2 cents for each pas
senger carried in or out OF the city. This
the Northwestern people refused to accept
in place of the use of the streets for its
own road, and this has been the cause for
all of the trouble over this matter On
May 29 the first attempt was made to lay
the track, but the fire wagon pumped water
on the workingmen and the city entered
suit
On June IL the Northwestern people again
came here with a force of 800 men to put
down the track and as the case had been
set for hearing before Judge Stimson, of
Terre Haute, the judge here refused to
have anything to do with the case. AS the
track would be down before the matter
could be taken before the Terre Haute
Judge the city dismissed the suit, and
turned right around and relied the same
papers in new suit so as to force Judge
West to issue an injunction, which he did.
Then the Northwestern filed a cross-com-
plant and made the city and the Console
dated line parties to 1t, and also got an in
junction against the Consolidated. Then
the city dismissed its suit and the case.
on motion of the Consolidated, was sent
to the United States Circuit Court under
Judge Anderson. As Judge Anderson was
related to some of those Interested in the
controversy, he gave the case to Judge
Baker, who is to hear the matter when he
gets back from Europe
When the city dismissed its suit against
the Northwestern line the injunction based
on it's suit was void, and that is why the
Northwestern people laid their tracks to-
day. The Northwestern people say that
they will get the track down, as Judge
Anderson is In Michigan and Judge Baker
in Europe, and they alone have the right
to enjoin them. The county judge is also
in Michigan.
