EACH SIDE SAYS CERTAINLY
Kelly aud henderson Insist Their
Respective Roads Mean Co
Build In west.

The Union Pacific and burlington are en-
gagged In tussle to see which can build
from North Platte to Bridgeport The
point at which the Burlington's Billings
Denver line crosses the north fork OF the
Platte river. Attorneys for both roads in
sist their respective road surely means to
build"
w. B. Kelly. general solicitor Of the
Union Pacific, said concerning the tempo
rary Injunction which was issued Thursday
against the Burlington to stop that road
from interfering with the contemplated
construction west of North Platte:
''over six weeks ago we filed for a right
of-way on some government land and ac-
quired by purchase fifty miles of right-of-
way and the Burlington surveyors came
along and put stakes for unnecessary
tracks on our right-of-way. We surely in
tend TO build this road and there is plenty
of room along there for two roads. but we
do not want to be unnecessarily hindered.
The point Of contention is about seventeen
miles west Of North Platte, but it is just
a railroad squabble as to which has the
right to certain rights-of-way."
An injunction has been issued in Lincoln
county, at the instance Of the BurliHgton,
against the Union Pacific and this probably
will be transferred to the federal court,
where the Union Pacifc's Injunction was is
sued
General Henderson. attorney for the Bur
lington said:
81 have received no papers in either in
junction case, but I suppose the Lincoln
county injunction was one l authorized a
few days ago by telephone. We are surely
going to build that road in spite Of any
hindrances. We will build along the south
side OF the river for few miles, and then
cross to the north side and continue west
to Bridgeport. The Union Pacific is
planning TO follow about the same line,
but I do not see what 1t wants OF line
west along there, which is practically a
parallel to the line which II already has"

OLD LITIGATION AT AN END
burlington wins in Case with stock
Yards Company After Sew
eraI Years.

A mandate was received Friday morning
from the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals for the Eighth district affirming the
judgment of the United States circuit court
for the district of Nebraska in the case of
the Union Stock Yards Company of Omaha
against the Chicago Burlington & Quincy
Railroad Company. dismissng the case
against the defendants for the sum of
$129575S, handed down January IA, 1902.
The suit is one of several years standing
and originally was brought by the heirs of
Edwin Goodwin against the Union Stock
Yards company in the district court of
Douglas county for s10,35O damages, occa-
stoned by the injury and subsequent death
of Goodwin while In the employ OF the
stock yards company through the wreck of
a damaged refrigerator car of the Ham
mand Packing company on August TO- 1895.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court of the state and the judgment of the
lower court affirmed In 1899, and the dam
ages, then amounting with interest to
Sl2 957, paid to the heirs of Goodwin. The
stock yards company then brought suit in
the United States circuit court against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy to recover
the amount of the damages on the ground
that the car was furnished to the stock
yards company by that road, the officials
knowing it to be faulty and in a damaged
condition Demurrers and amended petit
lions prevailed during the long period of
litigation; the demurrers were dismissed
and the case also was dismissed in favor
of the railroad company. The Union Stock
Yards then took the case to the higher
court on appeal and the mandate just re-
ceived sustains the action Of the lower
court.

ELEVATORS GO UP SLOWLY
Merriam H olmquist and CrOweII
Buildings Are Delayed by I'm
aVOIdabIe circumstances.

Construction on the Merriam Holmquist
elevator at Sixteenth and Henderson streets
has advanced far enough that the building
can be seen very plainly from the down
town districts. 1t was the intention of the
owners to have it ready for business by
December 1, but considerable delay has
been experienced and 1t will not be COM
pleted before the holidays.
In the matter OF delay. the Crowell Grain
Lumber company, which is building an
elevator at Thirteenth and Ohio Streets, is
even less fortunate. Tee building is on
low ground and when the excavation was
made for the basement it filed UP with
water as fast as the dirt could be taken
away. This necessitated the lining of the
walls with cement and made progress slow.
The elevator proper is now fairly under
way.
