TROUP ASKS A REARGUMENT
Court Cannot JUSTLY UliOn PacifO's Claim
to Vacation Of Stress
FIRST JUDGMENT ALTERED BY STUDY
Reuuests Edison Rich 90 Present Rail-
roads side Of Case Again
aud Friday IL
Agreed on.

Judge Troup Of the district court has
asked Attorney Edison Rich to rcargue the
injunction case brought against the Union
Pacific Railroad company by Louis Gold
smith. saloonkeeper and William Krug,
the brewer. The argument will proceed
Friday morning, January ..
This is the case in which plaintiffs Sc
cured temporary restraining order to
prevent the laying of tracks in the street
at Capitol avenue and Ninth street At
the conclusion OF the first argument the
attorneys on both sides agreed to submit
briefs to Judge Tfoup and await de-
cision. saturday morning Judge Troup
called Attorneys Ziegler and Pennock. for
plaintiffs. and Mr.. Rich, for the railroad.
into court, 70 advise with them further.
lie said:
AS a rule when a case has been sub
mitted I consider It and decide II as seems
right and as the inevitable conclusion
might be, in my view. In this case l will
make an exception. and give my reasons.
l was at FIRST forcibly impressed with the
belief that the plaintiff would not make
out case, or had no case that was well
based. Apparently II has been conceded
for the last forty years in this state that
railroads could go on the public streets
with their tracks Tacitly, at least, this
has been conceded by the courts. lawyers
and judges.
Cannot Justify the view.
Il have been studying the arguments
made in this case carefully since l took II
under Hdvisement. and no matter in what
light 1 view it. up 10 the present 1 have
not been able to see how the railroad can
make any claim to the use of the streets.
or find that the city has any inherent
right to grant the use of such streets
beyond the original 2OD-foot right-of-way.
II the law is in that state that the railroad
cannot so appropriate the streets a
rious question is raised touching the in
terests OF the people in this case.
mo matter what reasoning l apply. with
the light l now have 1t has brought me
back to the conclusion that the railroad
cannot have the privilege It seeks on these
streets l cannot find anything in the
statute or the decisions that will give
railroad any greater privilege in a munich
pality than 1t would have in the country.
The city has no inherent power to grant
the railroad the use of the streets against
the protests OF property owners. unless
the legislature has directly invested it
with that power. 1t is not in the posi-
ton of the owner who holds the fee in
property absolutely and can permit rail
road 20 use any or all of his property IL
he so desires. So l desire to hear further
argument on the question soon
possible
Mr. Rich said he could submit his fur
ther argument next Friday morning, and
the plaintiffs attorneys agreed to that
time.
