THE pEcK CO.'S CIVIL WAR.

Last week we published the fact of the commencement of a suit by the Arizona Peck Co, vs the California Peck Co.,, and without expressing any opinion as ,o who is right, now propose to tell what has siace been done in the premises.
 An injunction, aS We have already said, was issued restraining the Cal. Co, from taking possession, etc,
 On Thursday tyestcrdayl morning, the President of the Arizona Company called meeting of the Trustees. Ncssrs. Peck and Alexander were not present, Judge Steb- bins appearing in their stead.
 The meeting proceeded to increase the number of Trustees from three 10 five, clecting Hons. Thos. Fitch and Hugo Rich ards. SD as to make .he Board consist of C. (. Bean. r. C.. Peck. T. M. Alexander. Th0s. Fitch and Hugo Richards.
 At a meeting of this new Board, subse. queutly held, the validity of whose action We understand Messrs. Peek and Alexander do not recognize, George T. HoSle was re- moved from the Superintendency, and James Nice elected in his stead. Mr. lIog'e was ordered by the meeting tO turn over all property bullion, etc, 10 (. (. Bean, Presi- dent of the Co.
 In the afternoon Mir Bean went to the Azt.an Mil 10 take such possession &c., but on arrivilg, found that E. C. Peck, Prosi- dent of the Cal. O., had been there, and conveyed the bullion away.
 Mr. Bean returned to town, and, by the attorneys of the Arizona Peek Co.,, had an attachment issued for the bullion, refined and crude, amounting to nearly ten thoa- sand dollars, and which, t was ascertaincd was deposited in the safe of F. W. Blake, agent of Wells, Fargo x Co.
 sheriff Bowers, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Pierce, called upon Air. Blake, about 8 D. m.. and demanded inc bullion. Mr. B. preferred to see the dcpositnr before dc- livcring it, and sent for Mr. Peek who ap- pcared. accompanied by Judge Stebbins, and. after few minutes consultation, Nr. Peek informed the Shcrif that he should have Co refuse Co give it up. but made no further effort to retain it. The Sheriff then took the bullion in charge aud thus the matter stands. so far as We know. Fitch X Churchill are the attorneys for the Arizona Company and Stcbbins for the California Company.
