The Ogden Railroad War.
The war between the Union Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Companies, at Ogden, is ended. The Denver & Rio Grande connects with the Central Pacific, a third rail having been laid on the Central Pacific track to accommodate it. The Mormons originally owned the land upon which the Union Pacific depots are located, and deeded it to that company for railroad purposes, and, it is said, reserved the right to prevent other roads from using it for similar purposes.
