ABILENE RAILROAD IN IN-
SB
Plaintiffs Ask Court to Compel Jones to Ful-
fill Contract and Build Road to Rising
Star. Outcome is Watched
Special to Daily Bulletin:
Abilene Texas Jap. 31. Three suits
were filed in District Court Saturday
night against Morgan Jones owner
of the Abilene & Southern railway
and proposed builder of the Abilene
Central road.
In the first suit the
plalntiff is the Abilene railroad com -
mlttee. in the second and third the;
Abilene Central Railway Company.
In substance the plaintiffs petition
the court to compel Morgan Jones to
fulfill his -part of the contract looking
to the building or the Abilene Central
railroad to Rising Star. They allege
that he has stated his refusal to com-
ply with the contract he made with
the Abilene railroad committee in oth-
er words that he has refused to go
ahead with the construction of the
road. This Is the basis of: the .suit.
All through Saturday this burning
topic of local Interest was passed
back and forth. Attorneys J. M. Wag-
staff and Sayles & Sayles for the
plaintiffs labored hard on the petition
finishing it after nightfall. The suits'
were filed after S o'clock ps m.
The plaintiffs point out the appar-
ent desire of .Mr. Jones to throw up
the job of building the Abilene Cen-
tral to Rising' Star. They even charge
him. with countermanding certain or-
ders placed with eastern companies
for material. .
Notice that suit had been filed was
served on Mr. Jones Saturday night.
He betrayed no surprise and made-no
comment reserving the latter for the
Abilene Central Directors' meeting
held in the directors' room of the
Citizens National Bank.
Practically every member was pres-
ent Mr. Jones and his attorney D.
T Bomar of Fort Worth were there
as well as W. G. Swenson. J. M. Rad-
ford. Henry James. George L. Paxton
Ed S. Hughes. J. W. Wagstaff and oth-
ers. A pacific tone was sounded. In-
stead of indulging In epithets and
bandying words the gentlemen present
took up the question and discussed it
from every angle .Mr. Jones was ap-
parently unshaken in his determina-
tion to pursue hla new course while
the gentlemen of the board stated pub-
licly that no circumstance or combina-
tion of circumstances could. deter .them
from building the road. The latter
Opinion was almost unanimous the
only dissenting voices being those of
Mr. Jones and Mr. Bomar.
The suit in many was is unique.
It does not ask damages in a specific
sum; it merely charges the defendant

with the Texas Central to come Into
Abilene by the purchase of the Abilene
Central.
Thesults having been filed in dis-
trict court will likely come up for
trial during: the March term. It Is
presumed that Mr. Bomar will repre-
sent Mr. Jones.
Bomar Noncommittal.
If Mr. Jones takes the advice of his
Fort Worth mentor he will have very
little perhaps nothing to say for pub-
lication regarding this matter. Mr.
Bomar was seen last night In his berth
in the Texas & Pacific sleeper by a re-
porter and asked to make a abate-
ment "I have nothing. to say regarding this
matter" was the reply "if any talking
is done it should be by the person.3
who brought this suit. I have request-
ed Mr. Jones to have nothing to say.
Citizen Determined.
A prominent member of the Abi-
lene Central road also interviewed by
The Reporter gives out the following
statement:
"We deeply deplore this matter
which to say the least of it Is highly
unfortunate. The railroad committee
hates to Ijelleve that Colonel Morena
Jones to whom Abilene has ever of-
fered her most substantial encourage-
ment and in whom the citlz.ens of tl.H
city have pinned their faith would de-
liberately turn his bark on his .solemn
obligation selfishly cancel his part of
the building of the Abilene Centr. !
railway In order to gratify his own fe-
sires. Wo regret the filing of this suit
but now that It Is filed wo are de
tennined to fight it out to the finish."
Summed tip the Abilene Central
railroad situation seems to Have re-
solved Itself to the point where .Mor-
gan Jones has notified the. Abilene
committee of his intention to with-
draw from the contract entered into ti
build from Abilene to Rising-Star anJ.
the committee i& seeking by civil pro-
redure to compel him to carry ou. the
contract. The outcome of the S'ih of
course cannot at this time be fore-
told but members of the committee
express confidence in it.s final result.
