GRAIN COMPANY BRINGS SUIT Wants Northwestern to Pny Damajos for Kifuiing to Tnnifir Car, FIGHT OVER OMAHA L ST. LOUIS In AliM-nce of Trnlllu Aurei-liien t He. tuecu the I, lues .shippers !siij Their If no t II si li Delayed nml I'liric AiTi-ctcd. The MeCaull-Webster Grain company of Minneapolis brought suit In the district court yesterday against the Chicago & V,,rllivt'nlnrti Ilnllrnml rnmnnnv fnr tl W. Northwestern Itallroad company for $1,9'Jj damages, which It alleges It has suffered by reason of the railway company refusing to transfer or route its cars over the Omaha & St. Louis road. The plaintiff llrm Is engaged In buying and selling grain and does n large busl- ncss In Iowa. In the action at bar the McCaull-Webstcr company asserts that during the month of August a number of cars of grain were shipped to it from points along tho line of tho Northwestern nnd that at Council Rluffs tho Northwestern refused to transfer these cars to the Omaha ft St. Louis road, neither would It permit Omaha & St. Louis cars on its tracks so that the grain could be trans ferred to them. Tho grain company says It was put to great expense In consequence and had to transfer the grain from one road to the other by means of wagons. It estimates this cxpenso at tho amount sued I for. While this Is the tlrst case of this char acter brought Into the local courts, tho controversy has been pending for some tlmo nnd ha3 been beforo tho State Hall way commission on complaint of the grain shippers. Tho Northwestern road has no traffic agreement with the Omaha & St. Louis, which is alleged to bo a rate cutter and disturbing element In railroad freight cir cles. In consequence, It Is alleged, It has ,,...... .,- . dono nil In its power to divert traffic to j other ronds with which It had trnuiu agreements. When tho controversy first ; nroso the Northwestorn took tho ground that It could not afford to allow Its cars j to bo transferred to tho Omaha & St. Louis on account of the scarcity of cars and Its need for nil belonging to It. As to not permitting Omaha & St. Louis cars on Its tracks, so that tho grain might bo transferred to cars of tho latter road, tho Northwestern officials claimed this was Impracticable, as It had no trafllc arrange ment with tho Omaha & St. Louis. In this caso the McCaull-Webster com pany states It wnnted the grain delivered nt points nlong tho line of tho Omaha & St Louis road reached exclusively by that railroad. Davis sells paint.

Kncpher denied making any such throats and clalmscd his arrest on the charge of being insane wns but ono small chapter In tho persecution ho had been subjected to by his rivals in business. Tho commis sioners discharged Kncpher on tho grounds that his peculiar behavior was evidently tho result of an overindulgence In strong liquors and warned him that unless he let liquor nlonn hla mind would undoubtedly becomo permanently unhinged.
