Road to Bridge
is Postponed
Action I? laid Over Until Thursday

ing in the District Court.
From Friday's Daily
The hearing on the temporary re
straining order secured by the King
of Trails Bridge Co., against the
Piattsmouth Auto and Wagon Bridge
Co.. covering the removal of a fence
or guard rail placed along the high
way near the two bridges by the
plaintiff company, was postponed to
day. The matter had been set for hear
ing in the district court toaay dui
and A. L. Tidd, attorneys for the
defendant company the matter was
postponed until Thursday, January
7th, when the question or making the
injunction permanent will be argued
to the court.
The case. wilL probably be heard by
some of the judges outsldtrof this dis
trict as was the first injunction case
heard several weeks ago and in which
Judge John B. Raper of Pawnee City
was the trial judge.
The question that will be brought
up will cover the ownership of the
land on which the road is located
as well as the existence of the high
way leading to the bridges of the
two companies, as to whether or not
it is a road created by law or merely
?. private road.
The plaintiff company claims own
ership of the land on which the road
is located by virture of purchase
from the C. B. & Q. railroad, while
the defendants contend the road is
a duly created public highway in
general use for a long period of years
and which the plaintiff company has
no right to obstruct by a fence.
While the case is pending the
status quo is maintained, the fence
placed by the plaintiff company
stands and the private road leading
to the bridge of the Piattsmouth
Auto and Wagon Bridge Co., is used
to reach that structure.
