USE OF OMAHA BRIDGE.
Union Pacific Mast accord 1t to
Other Com pdnieS.

Washington Nov. 6.--Justice Brewer of the
Supreme Court of the United States to-day de-
livered the opinion OF that court in the case OF
the Union Pacific Railroad Company against the
Mason City and Fort Dodge Railroad Company
affirming the decree of the Circuit Court Of Ap-
peaIs for the Eighth Circuit. The case involved
the right to the OF the railroad bridge across
the Missouri River at Omaha.
On May l. 1890 the Union Pacific Railway
Company made two contracts. one with the
Rock Island company and the other with the
Milwaukee and St Paul company, by which
the former granted to the latter the JOINT use
of the bridge. subsequently, under dlfferehl
management. the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany refused to carry out the contracts or TO
permit the other companies to the bridge
and suit was brought in the Circuit Court OF
the United States to enforce the contracts The
Circuit Court held the contracts good and en-
tered a decree enforcing them. The decision OF
the Circuit Court based solely on the con-
tracts The Court of Appeals affirmed that de-
cree and on appeal its decision sustained by
the Supreme Court.
In this court the decision based not alone
on the contracts. but on the further ground that
undr the statutes of the United States the Union
Pacific Railroad Company was bound TO accord
the use of the bridge and its approaches TO
other companies upon payment OF Tedsoiiapie
compensation providing such use did not inter
fere with the use by the Union Pacific company
Subsequently, the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany made like arrangements with the North
western and Wabash companies. The Mason
City and Fort Dodge company. having con-
structed it's road to Council Bluffs, demanded
the same privilege, which was denied by the
Union Pacific
The Supreme Court now holds that the de-
cison in the former case was an adjudication
of the right under the statutes as well as of the
validity of the contracts. Further, that the de-
cision was right Interpretation of the statutes,
and. finally, that the fact that the present De
fendant was a purchaser at a foreclosure sale
of a mortgage executed by the former company
in 1865 did not relieve it from the duty of obedl-
erce to the provisions of the federal statute In
respect to Joint use enacted before the fore
closure.
