INTERESTING LAWSUIT
Concerning the Alleged Attempted
Theft or a Railroad by One OF
its Owners-Partfculsrs OF
the Case.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The supreme court
chambers to-day heard arguments in the case
of James Shields against Andres b. Stone,
on motion to dissolve the injunction against
the defendant, restraining him from prose-
cutting certain suit in equity in the Iowa
district court, or entering any Judgment IN
that suit, or setting it up as a defense to the
present action brought by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff sues as assignee of John Fallon.
Fallon was the owner of seven hundred and
six bonds of the Mississippi Valley and West
ern railway company, OF 1872, worth one
thousand dollars each, par value; and the
defendant claimed to own, or hold as trustee,
seven hundred and seventy-eight of the same
bonds and FIVE hundred OF the 1873 ones.
The company became embarrassed. 1t was
agreed to foreclose and buy in at the sale on
their Joint account from the new company,
the st. Louis, Keokuk and st. Paul railroad
company. The sale took place, A. 3. Stone
purchasing the road, the plaintiff says, for
both, for six hundred and twelve thousand
that Stone, in violation of his trust, has divert
ed and misapplied property, and endeavored
to secure Fallon's interests for himself by
organizing a new and different road without
Fallon's participation, and that the suit in
Iowa is fraudulent; wherefore, plaintiff asks
for an injunction and the payment OF SIX
hundred thousand dollars for his interest.
The answer sets up an agreement made be-
tween him and Fallon in April, 1875, under
which defendant advanced one hundred and
forty-three thousand dollars on the purchase,
and says he protected Fallon's bonds thereby,
and on the repayment of this he Is willing to
let plaintiff have his share of the securities
of the new company. Defendant purchased
and conveyed the property to the new COM
pany and holds the securities as trustee for
various trusts, and the question having arisen
as to the rights of distributes he asks the
Lee county, Iowa, court to direct the adjudi-
eating and accounting, and if Fallon will
pay the amount due by him defendant Is
ready to give him all that be is entitled to-
