De NURRAGE CASE IS
SUBJECT OF CONTEST
Government Is Fighting the D. &
r. G. i'm the United States
Court.

The case Of the United States against
the Denver g. Rio Grande Railroad
company began Monday morning be-
fore Examiner George y. Brown of
Washington in the circuit court room
Of the Federal building. The case arose
over demurrage which the railroad COM
pany insists on the government paying,
and which the government refuses 10
pay on account of the fact that the
cars were not rNp onto the specially
prepared tracks thnt were built for
that purpose but were maintained by
the company on the diamond switch
near Thistle Junction.
The case for the government was
presented during the day by United
States District Attorney Booth, and
the railroad interests were looked al,
ter by e. NJ. Allison. The evidence
presented Monday morning by the gov
crnment tended 10 show that the gov
ernmcnt built a long side-track from
the railroad tracks TO the unloading
station Of the Strawberry valley rccla-
nation project In spite of the fact
that this switch had been built. the
testimony tended TO show that the rail
road company hauled in large number
of cars loaded with cement billed 10
the government, and left them stand
ing on what is known as the diamond
switch. The cars remained at tins
point until dcmurrage had accumulated
in the sum of S44O.
Due to the fact that the government
helped TO pay for the construction of
this switch, il contends that demurrage
should not be charged, Those who
! gave testimony In the case were J. l..
Lytle. engineer in charge of the work
in Strawberry valley; W. d, Beers, as.
sistant engineer; Ross Worsley. who
had charge of the unloading of the
cement; n. 4. Williams, freight con
ductor of the Denver & Rio Grandc
V. a. Thomkins, the yard master at
Thistle Junction; Mr.. Jackson, a de-
murrage inspector Of the Intermoun'
| tain Demurragc bureau. and Thomas
| o 'Kief. freight conductor Of the Den.
Yer & Rio Grande Railroad company,
During Monday afternoon the testi
mony of Y. \. Thomlkins was flatly de
MED by the witnesses of the govern.
mcnt in the matter relating to an or.

| cciving from the government officials

GOVERNOR CALLS
OFF NAN HUNTERS

JACKSON. Miss. May 29-Thomas
Atkinson, the Jean Vatican Of Missls-
sippi, has met a kinder fate than the
hero OF the great French novel. The
troops that have been tracking him for
weeks through the woods and swamps
Of Winston county, have been called in,
and the hunt has been abandoned.
For this decision on the part of the
governor. who had determined that the
man must be captured, the troops them
selves are mainly responsible. They did
not relish the hunt Met by the obsta-
cles that citizens could throw i'm their
way, and finding it almost impossible to
find their man, they were in a state
bordering on mutiny
Hundreds of threatening letters found
their way to the governors office. All
demanded that Atkinson, who had es-
capped from tie penitentiary more than
twenty years ago and who has led a
decent life since, should be allowed his
freedom.
All these influences resulted in the
governors final decision to abandon his
plans
