ing that that CONT is in position

represents, and for that reason it
asked the court to revoke the order Civ
Ing the BucIshannon & Northern general
authority 20 bring proceedings TO con-
denim property Of the Parkersburg brunch
for crossing for the BucIhannon s
Northern at Grafton.
The defendant claimed that the order
WAS final and could not be changed, and,
in the event the court Thought it was
proceeding wrongfully under the order,
it asked that the court make y supple
