—A railroad thght began in Indiau-
gapolis on the evening of the 11th. ‘The
Indianapolis, Decatur and Springfield
Company enters the Union passenger
station over the tracks of the Indian-
apolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chi-
cago Company, using 600 or 700 feet of
that line, and has been paying for the
privilege, They grew tired of paying
cut money and proposed bullding a
track of their own. To do this it was
necessary to cross the tracks of the
other company. On the evening of the
11th the Decatur people put 150 men
at work, and the crossing was almost
completed before the officials of the
other road learned what was going on.
They then ordered a locomotive and a
force of men to the scene and attempted
to stop the work. ‘‘The crossing was
2 sort of temporary affair, intended
Lo establish the legal right of the De-
;atur people, and the Big Four people
tried to demolish it by running a loco-
motive upon it. The locomotive was
:hrown from the track, and while the
Big Four gang was engaged in replac-
ng it, the Decatur people practically
completed another temporary crossing.
At a late hour the Big Four people had
the crossing blockaded with a locom
tive and several freight cars.”
