THE G. R. & I. LOST Suit Against Indiana Railroad Commission at Richmond. WAS DECIDED TODAY Railroad Objected to Their Assessment for Interlocking Switch. Richmond, Ind., Dec. 11.—(Special) —The Cincinnati, Richmond & Fort Wayne railway company lost, the Decatur crossing suit, being a test case brought by the railway against the Indiana railroad commission concerning the payments for the building of the interlocking switch at Dceatur. When the switch was ordered by the commission some months ago the railroad objected to their share of the assessment, claiming that same was too high and believing they should have a benefit because of the fact that this road was the first built.
