Judge John G. Held, representing the
Pacific & Arctic Railway and Naviga
tion company? that is t? say the White
Pass & Yukon? file J suit this morning
against the Homo Power company
praying for an injunction restraining
that company from stretching a guy
wire from the smoke stack of the plsnt
of the Home Power company across
the track of the railway company or
attaching said wire to property of the
company.
Judge Winn has '>een retained by the
Home Power company to oppose the
application. A writ was issued made
returnable on Saturday, August 1st.
It appears that Superintendent Hahn
some days ago notified the Home Power
company that tbo wires stretched over
lha tracks from the smokeatack were
objectionable to the White I'aai com
pany and that they moat be removed.
It ia understood that officer* of the
Home Power company went to sea the
offlcera of the railway company about
the matter but do amicable agreement
could ba reached. Dut do attention
waa paid to the order? at leaat ao far a*
complying with it la concerned? and a
few nights ago the wire was uncere
manloualy cut? presumably by amenta
of the railway company. The Home
Power oompaov set to work at once
upon discovering what had been done,
to put them up again. The wirea are
in place now and a man ia on guard lest
lhay be cut again. Interesting devel
opments are therefore to be looked for.
