Show CREMATORY SCENE OF A BATTLE That the Harriman railroads intend to resent any real or imaginary encroachment en-croachment by the city upon their domain was again evidenced this morning, when a second skirmish between be-tween railroad and city olTiclals took place at the Ogden garbage crerna. tory. Several wagon load? of garbage had been conveyed to the city dumplDg grounds by teamsters and were about to be dumped when Special Railroad Officer Charles Shurnaker appeared oq the scene and ordered that none of the refuse be dumped, as tho ground belonged to the railroad, and the men were trespassers. While the dumping grounds adjoin railroad property, it is asserted by the sanitary officers that the dumping dump-ing was all being done on city property, prop-erty, which does not belong "to the railroad company. Eight or nine teams were being held up by the railroad officer wbco Sanitary Officer Moioni Poulter arrived ar-rived on the scene and 'a war of words followed between the opiosin; officers. In the meantime Shumakcr had called call-ed the patrol wagon to the dumping grounds and ordered that the patrolmen patrol-men take to jail City Cremnter Douglas, Doug-las, whom they had placed under arrest. ar-rest. Officer Poulter resented this action and stated that he would take the responsibility of any trespass. Tho patrol driver, being between tno fires, cracked his whip and with an empty wagon drove back to the barn. The garbage was finally dumped en what Is believed to be city property, but the railroad officials called their , attorney, Charles Holllngworth, lino the controversy and the matter Is far from settled. Attorney Holllngworth put the sanitary san-itary officer through a series of questions ques-tions and It is possible that a complaint com-plaint will be filed. It is believed by the sanitary department de-partment that the action of the rail road in sending the officer to the dumping grounds to prevent the disposal dis-posal of refuse Is inert lv a counter-move counter-move in the fight which started with tho railroad preventing the city from laying a water main around the notr Harriman freight depot. |
