 The Russell company declare that they do pot know the cause of the railway company's action.
 Pr CT to the construction of the Russell siding. the Cotton Belt had another side track along the same space which cut out the Russell com nany and was of no benefit to it infslaE morning after the Russell siding had been tom ID, the corDanv put a force of men at work replacing the old siding. IL was here that Chief of Police Stewart and h.s mon took a hand Immediately upon learn. Ing ct the company's actions. the chief sent Officer oscar Parnen to the scene, and that gentleman informed me Secsion foreman, Pat. ODonne1l that there was mo hing doing. where. p0en the oficious section foreman toid the officer that he might arrest nm. but the men would construct the ae rack jusr the sane. MT. Parnel1 'ost no tlIne Whatever in convincing the section foreman that such action would be deroeatory to the peace and dignity of the city s'nce the city coo'lcll had not authorized the con- ssf0ction of such siding, and Mir. O. 'onnell quietly acquiesced in the of hcer's suggestion that the work on nc new sid nc should cease.
 Thus tho motter remains at the nfesenf ti"e. Thus it promises to re- nam Indefinitely. There are those who state that it is purely retail 'afary measure OF inc mart of tho .ofton Belt The Cotton Rels's side 2f the story has not been heard. and a ia2g ne by the precedent established I " railway companies it is not likely r nat the comDaHy's side of the ques- lon will ever be published.
