Fort Dodge, Nov 1S-While Attor-
Central Railroad Company, was in
district court attempting to take legal
steps TO prevent the Fort Dodge, Des
Moines and Southern from crossing its
tracks at Gypsum, a ponderous switch
engine was holding the fort at the site
of the proposed crossing. 1t remained
obdurately on the spot which the in
terurban company had selected as a
desirable place to pass to its right of
way on the south.
The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany had determined that. notwith-
standing the attitude of the railroad
commissioners. the crossing should
not be forced if litigation could pre-
vent it. The act is one of series
which form a long controversy be-
tween the Illinois Central and the
Fort Dodge, Des Moines and South
ern.
When the Fort Dodge, Des Moines
ana Southern attempted to cross the
tracks of the Illinois Central last
summer at Gypsum, the Illinois Cen
trail refused to permit a crossing. The
matter WAS carried before the railroad
commissioners. The commission or
dered the crossing, but the Illinois
Central appealed from the decision of
the commission and the case now rests
with the supreme court of Iowa.
