 in ii)i|.iiii; 111. I niHche River Valley and Indian Territory UaMroad lo 

 serve all parties along its line is the opinion as given out by Judge 

 Trieben of the United States district court at Little Rock, in the case 

 of that railroad company against the railroad commission, decided on 

 .Tune 13. 



Application for a temporary restraining order, prohibiting the rail- 

 road commission from enforcing its order No. 3028, was filed by the 

 railroad company on June 4th, but bearing was not had on it until 

 the 13th on account of the court's absence. 



The commission's order required the railway company to acci pt all 

 shipments olfered for carriage, and came as the result of complaints 

 from citizens beyond Bellevue, who complained that the railroad had 

 refused to false shipments from them. The railway company took the 

 position that the line was built to serve the interests of its owners, 

 the Fourche River Lumber Company, and that the railroad commission 

 had no authority over it. 



After hearing the arguments Judge Trieber dismissed the application, 

 holding that inasmuch as the railroad company was duly organized 

 under the laws of the state of Arkansas as a common carrier it was 

 subject to orders of the commissinn.
