A hearing w as begun In the federal court rogm here today before C. A. Prouty, member of the Interstate commerce commission, on a complaint against tbe Union Pacific railroad company, filed by the 8loux City and Rock Bprlnga Coal company. The latter company owns coal mines in southern Wyoming, nn the line of top Union Pacific, and alleges that the railroad company hss discriminated against It tn favor of the Union Pacific Coal company in tha matter of bullldng spur tracka and furnishing can for the trsnsportafloa I of coal. Commissioner Prouty explained that the hearing, which Is under the senate resolutions, was to ascertain whether or not tbe Union Pacific railroad company Is responsible for toe existence of a coal monopoly In the northwestern states. J. T. Marehand appears as the attorney for the commission, while John N. Baldwin represents the railroad company, and E. E. Thomas of Omaha acta for the Sioux City and Rock Spring Coal ohmpany. Warwick 8pundere of Davenport. City and Ii president- of toe Sioux Rock Springs company, told of the efforts of hla company to secure transportation facilities from their inlnes, which are near the line of the Union Pacific road, about twenty miles from Rock Springs, Wyo. He said the officials of the railroad professed to be friendly, but that a spur track from hla mines would have to croae land the Union Pacific Coal owned end (?eperal Manager Clark of that company refused to grant permission. Randall Brows, owner of coal lands half mile west of Ilsnna. Wyo., where the Union Pacific Coal company operates three mines, told of e similar situation regarding the matter of a a pur track to his land. He said the Central Coal company of Kansas City and the Untnp Pacific Coal company of Cheyenne practically controlled the coal supple of the west, and northwest, and that there Is a shortage of supply every year, - b' com-pkn- D. O. Clark, vice president, and gen eral manager of the Union Pacific Coal company, and superintendent of coal service of tbe Unlei Pacific railroad company, waa the next witness He said the capital stork of the company la $3,000,001), and toe company Is bonded for a like wmount, stock knd bonds all being owned by the ' Union Pacific railroad company. .Mr. CJark declared that hla reason for refusing permission to the Sioux City end Rock Springe company to erosa hla companys land with a spur track waa that it coal la of an Inferior quality, and he did not wish to have It put on the market aa Rock. Springs coal, which haa a very high reputation. He admitted that hla companr had bought two sections of land adjoining the Sioux City company's land to prevent It obtaining an outlet. It waa developed that Mr. Clark Is also vice president of the Superior Coal company, of which John W. lacy of Cheyenne, counsel for tbe Union Pacific railroad company, la president, and Prank Manley of Rock Springs, formerly chief engineer of the Union Pacific Coal company, la general manager. He said the Superior company haa secured about six aAtlona of land, principally In Sweetwater county. Wyo., through tbe purchase of individual filing on government land. A list of sixteep of these entries were submitted, each of which was made by an employe of either the Union Pacific Coal company or the Union Pacific railroad company. .He said that tbe Union Pacific Coal company advanced money necessary In most of these entries. He said he held all hut three shares of the stock of tite Superior Coal company in trust for W. K Cornish of New York, vice president nf tbe Union Pacific railroad com pany. An effort was made by Attorney Marehand, and Thorns to shew that title bad been secured to these lands by fraud, and objection was made by Commissioner Baldwin. Attorney Prouty adjourned the hearing until tomorrow. I felt myself going down and down, then presently I came to. ihe aurlsre hanging to a piece of the demolished orach. By thla time I waa well out In ihe river aad tha strong current waa bearing ns swiftly down stream. 1 saw people around ma struggling, but of course could offer no naslsiance, it being an much aa 1 could do to kaep my head above water.
