REMINGTON WINS.

Injunction flade Permanent In Railroad Case. r■. ■ . . STREETS WILL NOT BE FENCED UP. A Complete Victory for That Town In Its Fight With a Big Corporation. The temporary restraining-order granted several months ago, erfjoining the Panhandle railroad from fencing op its right-of-way through the business section of Remington, was made permanent by Judge Hanley Monday, and the company forever enjoined from fencing up this part of its right-of-way, which was declared by Judge Thompson a few years ago to be public thoroughfares and forbade the erection of any fence or other obstacles to prevent free access to the depot or between the railroad and such streets. This is a complete victory once more for Remington, and it is not likely the railroad people will again make the attempt to fence up its right-of-way in the disputed territory. It also shows the good sense of the town officials there in tearing out the obstruction before the railroad people could sue out an injunction on their part enjoining them from doing so. Had they did this, the matter would no doubt have been in the courts for years and the fence would have had to remain there at least until the case was finally adjudicated, and perhaps permanently, for possession is said to be nine points of law, and when a big corporation has it it frequently is a full ten points. Good for Remington, say we, and may her backbone never weaken when battling for her rights.
