S. Brown concluded his argument COM
menced last Saturday, fortifying by
pointed and ~well-selected authorities.
The position heretofore stated as relied
upon by the defendant Judge Brown
seemed to establish the imprudence of the
order first issued granting an injunction
and appointing receiver. Brown at last
satisfied his associate counsel. He was
followed by Judge Waldo in a brief but
eloquent argument for complainant.
Governor Brown takes the broad ground
that the Texas Pacific has an exclusive
charter, and that no other company can
build any road anywhere within the
eight-mile belt between FL Paso and San
Diego, and that the Southern Pacific is a
trespasser upon their exclusive rights, and
that its charter from New Mexico, being
in conflict with the act of congress under
which the Texas Pacific was organized, is
null and void. Governor Brown also an
nounced that they were preparing the
papers to commence similar suit in Ore
gon.
The fool Mcnamara said in Washington:
81 came on here to get the authorities to
call off the powers who are conspiring
against me. There is political conspir-
acy of spiritualistic mediums who are
trying to obtain possession of my mind.
They are trying to put physche in my
brain. They revealed to me in 1875
while / was in San Francisco, that | was
to shoot Grant and the Prince of Whales,
the eldest son of the Dutch widow, and
they have been pursuing me ever since
with spiritual exhortatIon to carry out
their behests. / have been doing battle
against them ever since. Last month L
came from San Francisco to Philadelphia,
and tried to make q settlement in one of
the courts. that tjustce might aid me to hight
the conspiracy, but saw no opportunity
to be heard in court unless I committed
some misdemeanor. Igot myself arrested.
I split brick in halves and put the
halves in my overcoat pockets. When l
got to the postoffice took one from my
pocket and threw it through one large
window, calling at the same time. That is
a better shot than the one aimed at the
| president of the United States.'" He did
| actually perform this deed. He is
| medium sized, haggard, sparse gray hair,
and was ragged, and had only dollar in
his pocket.
