Long Litigation Ends with Ruling in Pacific Railroad Case
The US court of appeals reversed an Omaha circuit decision in a prolonged dispute among the United States government Union Pacific and Western Union Telegraph. The ruling affects telegraph lines along the railroad and involves a claimed monopoly and duties under the Pacific Railroad Act. The case traces back to 1881 when Union Pacific leased lines to Western Union and later surrendered franchises.
