Railroad Commission Enjoined In Arkansas Federal Case
In Little Rock a federal court granted a temporary injunction against the Arkansas Railroad Commission restraining its members from forcing Kansas City Southern Railway to apply state rates on shipments entirely within Arkansas but passing through Indian Territory. The case arose from Fort Smith to Grannis furniture shipment and hinges on extra territorial jurisdiction. Final hearing set for November 5. Land and state town records follow with mixed sales figures and land transactions. Federal Judge Trieber assigns bankruptcy rules dividing counties into divisions. Audit totals show receipts from multiple sources reaching 791 470.82. J B Mahan, a Conway county resident, traveled eighty miles to Little Rock in a goat-drawn cart to testify. A Boston syndicate buys near Hot Springs land for a proposed mineral spa hotel development.
