In the case of Thomas H. Adams against the Iron Mountain and Kan sas City and Memphis bridge com pany, on demurrer of the defendant as to the jurisdiction of the federal court, Judge Trieber decided against the railroad and bridge company, and granted twenty days in which to file an answer. Adams is suing for $25,- 900 damages for being elected from a passenger train after refusing to pay 50 cents bridge fare The plaintiff in his bill alleges that said proceedings in demanding of plaintiff said sum and the ejeeting him from said train for not paying it, were deliberate ma licious and unconscious violation of right on the part of the defendants and in pursuance of an inlqultous agreement and understanding between defendants, entered into for the pur- pose of eXtorting money from plain tiff and all other passengers over said railroad. Said demand was unlaw- full and unreasonable, and plaintiff knowing of the fact and being un- willing to submit to eXtortion, offered to pay reasonable sum for passing over said railroad to his place of des- tination, but refused to pay 50 cents as a toll for passing over said river on said bridge
