Fremont, Neb., Jan. 12. (Special
Trleurain.) Claiming that Fremont
ha little right to request a change
in schtxliile on the Scribncr-Oakda'e
branch of the (Jlu'tago & North'

mission, heated araiintents resulted
with Fremont and towns west ta
ma the ilrfeiuc.
General Superintendent Dickcrso'i,
Division Superintendent M. I..
Tangle and Attorney Drcsler of
Omaha lead the attack on brhall
of the present soliednle. Iliry state
that Fremont has no right to demand
.a change in time of trains on this
branch as the road is maintained
mostly for the service of towns and
villages on the wast end. rremont
is nof no consequence, Attorney
Dressier said in discussing train
schedules on this branch.
William II. Young, traffic manager
for the rremont ConimeromUclui)
and known nationally in railroad
traffic circles, manned .the etins (or
those favoring a change. He pointed
out why Fremont is concerned and
that at the last meeting of the com
mission at Newman Grove tin's city
was not represented. At that ses
sion the time of one train was rad
ically changed while another train
was completely abandoned. Patrons
of the line west of Fremont are
anxious for a return to the old sched
ule, be said, to enable' them to visit
Fremont, Omaha and -Lincoln and
return the same dav.
'. W. H. Crandall. Leigh, expressed
himself and constituents in favor of
the former schedule.
Charles .- Randall,' f consenting
Creston, Petersburg, Newman Grove
and Corn lea, insisted thatt the pres
ent schedule is welcomed by his
people and, that it jibes with con
ditions at that end of the line. ' '
The debate between the two fac
tions became 'exceedingly, warm .as
various speakers indulged in ' per
sonalities. At intervals Commission
er Brown forced to call a halt and
forbid personal feelings to enter the
scrap.
French interests in Aleeria. after
a long search, have, found at least
