Denies Violation
of Any Laws.

In Its answer to the suit of
former Attorney General Sheets to
oust it from it's charter in this
state, filed Wednesday, the Hook
ing Valley Railway company ac-
knowledges that it owns the stock
of the Buckeye Coal and Railway
company, a controlling interest in
the Sunday Creek Coal company
and the majority of the stock of
the Kanawha and Michigan Rail
way company.
1t is denied. however, that the
company owns the ct ok of the
Toledo and Ohio Central Railway
company, or any of that of the
Continental Coal company; also
that the latter company was or
ganized by it as part of a plan to
control the production and trans
portation of coal in the Hooking
Valley coal field.
1t is stated that the GAINESVILLE
and Western Railroad company
owns 714 miles of track in Ohio,
Lut the assertion that it is par
allel and competing line with that
owned by the defendant company
is denied.
The claim is made that the stock
of the companies in which it ac-
knowledges interest were acquired
at the time of consolidation of
the different railroad interests
that now 60 to make up the Hook
ing Valley, in February, 1899, and
it is denied that these companies
are kindred corporations with the
defendant or that it controls their
business.
1t Is also explicitly denied that
any Of these companies has been
given greater shipping facilities
than others, or that either the
Johnson Coal company or the New
York Coal company have been dis
criminated against in furnishing
cars, engines or side track accom-
modations, as was claimed in the
custer petition.
The allegation that, for the pur,
pose of creating monopoly in the
coal business, the Hooking Valley
contracted with independent Goa
operators for the purchase of theil
properties, is denied.
