NORTHERN PACIFIC SUITS.
ARGUMENTS BEFORE JUDGE sPEIR.

POINTS IN REFERENCE TO THE INJUNCTION SOUGHT
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge Speir sat Tuesday in the Superior
Court Chambers to hear the argument the motion TO
continue the temporary injunction which was granted
about two weeks ago in the suit brought by Henry VII
lard aganst the Northern Pacific Railroad Compeuy and
certain OF ts directors and the Farmers Loan ana Trust
Company to compel them to deliver up for cancellation
10000 shares Of the railroad companys stock alleged
70 have been issued by the Executive Committee OF the
Board OF Directors contrary 10 the provisions OF the
charter and Abe law OF Congress Artemus II. Holmes
read In behalf Of Mr.. Willard great number OF papers
consisting Of an AFFIDAVIT by the plaintiff agreement
dated January TO- 1867, and two supplemental agree
ments dated respectively July 3, 1867, and May TO-
1859, In regard TO what s called enterprise for the
construction Of the Northern Pacific Railroad for which
Congress had granted charter, and in regard 70 the
plan and proceedings taken for the reorganization Of the
railroad company when the first company became in
solvent and ts property and franchises were about to be
sold In foreclosure proceedings George Gray read the
answer Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company and
several volumnous afidavits by the individual defend
ants. Mr Holmes opened the argument on the motion
for Mr. Willard and ex-Judge jeremiah Black followed
on behalf Of the defendants.
Yesterday James Emot finished the argument in sup
port of the motion. He showed that the Of the
proprietary shares TO whom the 10000 shares Of the
common stock OF the company have been issued had
never paid any into the treasury OF the company
and that therefore these shares void under the act
OF Congress by which the corporation was created
Henry II. Anderson and George Gray spoke in behalf
Of the defendants Mr. Anderson said that when plan
for the reorganization Of the company was formed the
proprietary insisted that their rights should be
regarded. The charter Of the company would have
pired within the year and 1t necessary 10 effect
compromise Of the conflicting interests. To prevent
catastrophe all the claimants agreed 20 recognize one
another upon certain basis. II under this agree
ment that Mr. Willard claimed title 10 the stock upon
which the action brought, and he could not deny
the right OF the defendants 10 the contested 10000
sharcs Of stock. without destroying at the same time
every ycstgc OF legal right to his stock.
