CLASH BETWEEN RAILROADS Omaha Bridge & Terminal Company Gets After Union Padific. SWEARS OUT A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION Trouble Arlnc * Over Hurt's nonil'fi Urnlrc In I'ut In n HrlilKe nt Fifth Avenue nn l Four teenth Street , The Omnha Bridge & Terminal Hallway company secured from Judge Green of the district court Into yontorday afternoon a temporary Injunction restraining the Union Pacific Itallroad company from Interfering with Its tracks at Fourteenth street and Union avenue. This action on the part of the Terminal Hallway company IB one re sult of the determination of the Union Pa cific to put in ita now brldgo at Fifth avenue - nuo and Fourteenth street over Indian creek despite the Injunction proceedings brought against It by the city. For two days past the Union Pacific rail way has had several largo gangs of work men making tbo necessary preparations for the erection of the new bridge. In order to comply with the location of the new struc ture a readjustment of the tracks on Union avenue was necosoary and the Union Pa cific is placing Its old track further to the northwest. It has also nearly completed the laying of n second track along the avenue from Ninth street to the transfer depot. The readjustment of the tracks make It necessary for the Union Pacific to put In fresh crossings across the track of the Ter minal Railway company at the bridge over Fifth avenue. To forestall this the Terminal railway people yesterday afternoon placed a big switch engtno on lln track at the point that the Union Pacific desired to make the crossing and In addition secured the tem porary restraining order from Judge Green just before court adjourned for the day. The order Issued by Judge Green restrains the Union Pacific "from tearing up or re moving the tracks of the plaintiff from the Intersection of Fourteenth street with Union avenue , or along any portion of Its right of way upon and near Fourteenth street , or at any point where Its said right of way crosses Union avenue , nnd that the defend ant be enjoined and restrained from crossing Dlalntlff's railway tracks with any track of Its own ' or in any manner removing or changing from the present position the rails of plaintiff , and that the defendant bo enjoined and restrained from Interfering with plaintiff In the repairs of its track along Fourteenth street , or near Fourteenth street and Its Intersection -with Union avenue In eald city of Council Bluffs. " The Injunction was served shortly after 5 o'clock last evening by Deputy Sheriff Slead on the foreman in charge of the men at work on the brldgo. I'oIii < nt Innne. Early last spring the question whether the Union Pacific had not forfeited Its rights on Union avenue by alleged failure to com ply with the provisions of. the ordinance | granting It a franchise on the thoroughfare was brought up before the city council. Tlu j matter was brought up through a dispute between the city and the Union Pacific aa to the bridge which the city had ordered built over Indian creek at Fifth and Union avenues. The railway company wanted It built one way nnd the city ordered It erected In another manner. In order to try to bring the railway to the city's side of the controversy the question of the company's rights on Union avenue was brought up and after the matter had been pending some time the city solicitor was Instructed to have the question taken Into the courts nnd set tled there. About thlo time the Union Pa cific decided to build a second track along Union avenue and in order to do so asked that it bo given permission to build its new bridge as ordered by the council. The aldermen became fearful that by granting this permission the city would waive Its claim to Union avenue and refused to grant It and injunction proceedings against the Union Pacific were Instituted In the district court. Ths suit was recently transferred to the federal court , where It Is now pend ing. Clt-y Solicitor' ! ) Opinion. City Solicitor Wadaworth stated yester day that he was personally glad to see the Union Pacific putting In Its new bridge , as the old one Is unsafe nnd a new structure badly needed. He said he could not see how the railway company could hope to gain any thing for KB rights on the avenue by reason of going ahead with the work , as the In junction suit is pending and this will save the city from a waiver of any of Its claims In the premises. The company is doing the work at its own peril and If the outcome of the Injunction suit should bo adverse to the Union Pacific It Is doubtful whether the rail way company would have the right to re move the now brldgo or tracks and whether the same would not become the property of the city , The preparations for the erection of the new brldgo show that it will cross Fifth avenue at a greater slant than the old one and that the south corner of the new struc ture will cut Into the north side of Fifth avenue about fourteen feet , extending out pretty close to the street car tracks. This will throw the crossing with the street car tracks a few feet west of the bridge , whereas the crossing Is now very nearly In the center of the old bridge.

The Sunday working barbers gained a signal victory in the district court yester day , the jury In the case of the State of Iowa against Fritz Bernhardl , proprietor of the Giond hotel barber shop , bringing In , a verdict of acquittal. Ilernhardl , along with a number of other barbers , had been ar rested at the Instance of the Barbers' Pro tective association , charged with violating the Sabbath by keeping his shop open and plying his trade on a certain Sunday. At the hearing before Judge Aylesworth in the superior court Bernbardt was found guilty and fined $1 and costs. An appeal was promptly taken to the district court. Hern- harill'a defense yesterday was that sharing on Sunday was a necessity to many men and the Jury evidently was of this opinion , as It brought In a verdict of not guilty after being out a little over a quarter of an hour. A similar case against F. B. Silvers , the proprietor of a barber shop on Pearl street , is set for Saturday of next week.

The aldermen met ns n committee of the whole yesterday morning and took a trip over the proposed route of the Lake Mnnawa & Manhattan Beach Hallway company , which has been organized to PX- teud the line of the old motor company from Its terminus on Main street to the lake. The now corporation expects to build Its line on a right of way acquired cither by purchase or condemnation , but In order to make this private right of way available It will bo necessary to cross a number of streets , avenues and alleys and permission to do this has been nskexl of the city coun cil. After making an inspection of the pro posed route the committee of the whole held a short session at which it decided to refer the matter to a special committee consist ing of Aldermen Sayles , Cnsper and At kins , with Instructions to prepare nn ordi nance nnd submit the same when drafted to the committee of the whole for its further consideration. To this committee was nlro relegated the task of Investigating the right and author ity of the city council to grant a corpo ration such ns the Lake JInnawa & Man hattan Bench Hallway company permission to cross the streets contained la Its re quest. There is considerable doubt in the minds of the city fathers whether the Lake Man- ' awa & Manhattan Beach Hallway company's , proposed road can be properly construed to ; bo a "commercial railroad" and for this I reason the aldermen have serious misgivings ! as to their power to give the corporation ; any rights to cross the streets of the city. The general opinion among the aldermen Is that the now corporation is practically on the same level ns any street railway com pany and that in order to secure the right to cross the streets along Its right of way It must go before the voters nnd obtain the necessary franchise. This , H Is claimed , Is especially true If the now corporation In tends to operate Its trains by electricity and not with steam power. In the former case It would bo necessary for the company to erect poles nnd string wires and the law strictly provides that no corporation shall be given authority to erect poles or string wires without first securing a franchise by the vote of the people. The streets over which the Lake Manawa & Manhattan Beach hallway company asks permission to cross are ns follows : Across and along Sixteenth avenue from the foot of Main street to a point seventy feet from the northwest corner of the Kansas City , St Joseph & Council Bluffs Hallway company's depot grounds and also over nnd across Eighteenth , Nineteenth , Twentieth , Twenty- first. Twenty-second , Twenty-third , Twenty- fourth Twenty-fifth and Twenty-ninth ave nues , between the east line of Sixth street and the west line of Main street or Fourth street and over and across all the eaet am : west' alleys In blocks 7 , 8 , 13 , 11 and 10 In Hughes & Dontphan's addition.
