No bid will be accepted for less than

parties who have been considering the
matter of the purchase, each with a
different end in view. but whether they
will be on hand to make an offer, is

Iowa City, June IA lively railroad
war has started III Coralville, two miles
west of here, where the Cedar Rapids,

are endeavoring ID cross the old unused
spur of the Rock Island which runs

point. At the time that the grist and

shipments ran up to the full carload.
this branch of the great Rock Island
system was valuable. But for the last
ten years the ira ok has not been used
for anything save an occasional car of
freight which is shipped into the little
village.
But the Rock Island Railroad Com
pany are as anxious to maintain the
line intact as they are that of any part
of their main system. Carol Wright,
of Des Moines, The state solicitor for
the Rock Island Company, who is in the
city, outlined the reasons Of the COM
pany for pursuing the policy which
they have adopted. He stated that the
company was willing for the electric
line to cross their tracks, but he de-
sired that all o. the legal conditions
surrounding such crossing should be
complied with. He stated that several
weeks previous they had requested of
the electric line contract to govern
the matters of crossing and other
things connected Herewith. Up to
within few days the electric COM
pany had not made any answer. He
stated that it was desirable that such q
contract should be executed, otherwise
the Rock Island Company would be
liable for all accidents occurring at the
crossing.
The Rock Island Company sent a
force of men into Coralville on Sunday
with a carload o.. rails in order to lay
second track beside their spur. Mayor
Koser would not allow the gang to
work, on the ground that the company
had no charter or franchise from the
city; that the rails then in place had
been laid before the city had incorpo-
rated. The work was stopped. only to
begin at one minute past midnight
Sunday night. At that time the work
was again stopped by an injunction.
