VANDERBURG ASKS PAY
FOR DAMAGED PROPERTY

w. Fl. Vanderburg today, began an
action in the district court to enjoin the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, the Milwaukee
and the Minneapolis & Western railway
companies from obstructing traffic on
Second street, between the Falls hotel
and Sixth avenue s., and to collect $4,000
damages alleged to have been sustained
in rentals Of the plaintiffs property at
Fifth avenue and Second street.
Mr.. Vanderburg alleges that his prop
erty is valued at 100000 and that it has
been greatly damaged by the railroad
tracks on Second street. He admits that
the companies had the right to lay
tracks, but he claims they have no legal
right to block traffic, as they are now
doing, since the street was never vacated.
He sets up that the tracks were allowed
to be laid on condition that the com
panies keep the street open Ito public
travel by planlsings or otherwise. This
it is claimed has not been done and
traffic is practically barred from the
street. -" 80 = -#~ y
This suit will be fought out along the
same lines as the PLAINTIFF suit against
the Great Western Railway company;
which was recently: decided In the plaint-
iff,s tfaver in the supreme court. ~ I; ss
