tural Park Railway Co. Va. W. E. Nor
ford, street superintendent of the city of
Los Angeles, came up on the applica-
ton of plaintiff, to make the temporary
injunction already issued permanent.
The railway company sought to restrain
the defendant from entering on the lot
at the northeast corner of Main and
Washington streets, and tearing down
the wall of the company's car-barns.
On motion of the plaintiff, E. H. Hutch

death. The defense claim that there
was no legal transfer, and also that Mrs.
Youst was not in disposing mind at the
