RAILROAD LITIGATION.
In the suit between the Muncie Belt railroad company and the Lake Erie & Western railroad company Judge Koons of the Delaware circuit court rendered his decision last evening in favor of the Muncie Belt company.
The suit is one that has been pending for a year or more and has been in the circuit and United States courts on several occasions, each time in a different form, but always with this one point in view and that point was settled by Judge Koons.
The L. E. & W. south side belt road touching the Pulp mill, Indiana Iron works, Architectural Iron works, Midland steel works, Muncie Iron and Steel works, C. H. Over, the Hemingray and Ball Bros. glass works, Gill pot works, and the Darnell Iron works so constructed its tracks as to shut out competition by refusing to let the Belt railroad company cross their tracks. Since the business has grown to so much importance the Big Four was anxious to get a part of it and were willing to build most any kind of a belt track to reach the mills and factories.
