FARMERS STOP WORKMEN
ON ELECTRIC LINE
Land Owners Refuse to Allow Work
men to Remove Rails and Wire
from Southern ExtensOn.
INJUNCTION is SECURED
Company Was Compelled to Secure
Injunction TO Prevent Interfer-
ence With the Work.

The Mexico Investment and Con-
str'iction Company filed "a petition in
the office of the Circuit Clerk Mon
day asking an injunction against Will
liam Powell, William Locke, Charles
Dean, and Albert Price, to prevent
their interfering with the work of
removing the rails and wire from the
Southern Extension Of the Mexico,
Santa Fe and Perry electric line.
The right of way of this line runs
through land owned by these men,
who refused to allow the worLmen
employed by the company to enter
the land and remove the wire and
rails from the unused stretch of track.
An injunction was granted by
Judge E. S CAN'T, and the work of
removing the rails and wire will con-
tinue.
According to Judge W. W. Bolts two
robberies have been committed on
this line in the past two weeks, each
time the company was robbed of about
five hundred feet of copper wire.
The company is trying to get the
wire to place of safety. The rails
hive been sold, and as soon as they
are removed buyer for the right
Of way will be sought.
Charles Dean, one of the defend
ants, stated over the telephone, Tues
day morning that the reason he
objected to the line being torn up
was becau Sc the road had damaged his
property and he did not want their
equipment removed until the dam
age was settled. The telephone con-
nection was poor and only this
part of his statement was under
stood.

START ALTON DOUBLE
TRACK SURVEY HERE.

L. v. Manspeaker, Assistant Chief
Engineer of the C. & A. Railroad,
arrived in Mexico Tuesday morning
and started the survey for a double
track from this city, West. The pro-
posed Improvement, which was an
nounced some time ago, will not be un-
der construction until midsummer.
1t will be built in sections, with view
to aiding that portion of the Western
Division which is at present heavily
beset by increased traffic making the
handling of such under present condi-
tions a source of trouble and delay.
The first section will be from this
city to either Centralia or Clark. In
the past year there has been phenom-
inal devlopment in freight traffic on
the Alton, which made an imperative
demand for increased facilities to care
for more trains. The double track
ing of the line will solve this prob
lem.
The work will be rushed as rapidly
as possible. At this time only mea-
ger details of the plans can be had,
as the survey is just starting.
