WANTS THE NURSERY.
Suit to Secure Possession of
Lawtoh Property.
RANcHER OPPOSES A NEW ROAD.
He Says the Commissioners Have Not
Compiled With Lava Manned
Watchman's Suit-Blottsr.

Papers were filed yesterday in q suit
commenced by John Cranston against
May b. Simmonds, to secure the restitu-
tlon OF the Lawton nursery, and to restrain
the defewdant from injuring or disposing
OF what he alleges TO be his property. The
case will be tried on October Is, and some
interesting developments may be ex-
pected.
The plaintiff alleges that in January.
1892, he leased the Lawton nursery. on
fesier avenue. near Lake street, from the
administrator of the estate Of the late
Charles w. Lawton for eighteen months.
He states that he entered into an agree
ment With the defendant. whereby she
should allow him the use of certain rooms
and board him. and that she was to have
the cut flowers Mr the purposes Of sale.
1t was agreed that the defendant should
have the right to buy him out for the sum
of $500 at any time during the summer,
but that, il the right to purchase was not
exercised until October of this year. it
should be forfeited.
The plaintiff in the case alleges that the
defendant would not purchase the property
according to agreement, that she has re-
fused to board him and that she disputes
His IiSHt 10 the possession Oh the properly
involved. He further charges that the de-
PENDANT threatens to remove the flowers
from the nursery, that she is insolvent
and that such damage as she will do if she
attempts to remove the plants will be
beyond repair and that, therefore, he, the
plaintiff, asks for the Intervention of .
court of equity in order that his rights
may not BE jeopardized. The plaintiff
says his clothes are at the premises in dis
pute. and that the defendant threatens to
throw them out and that she will not per-
init him to occupy the rooms which be-
long to him in his own house.
The plaintiff was required to file bond
in the sum Of 81 1000. and a temporary in-
junction was issued against the defendant
to prevent the injury to or removal of any
property involved in the legal controversy.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Farmers Discuss the Sammsmish River
Improvement-No Plan Adopted.
There was large gathering of farmers
and ranchers in the Office of the county
commissioners yesterday to discuss the
five plans of Engineer Stixrud for the
strengthening and deepening of the chan
mel of the Sammamish river between tho
lake of that name and Lake Washington.
Mr.. Sdxrud submitted five plans, none of
which was agreed upon at the meeting.
The farmers who live at the Lake WASH
ington end Of the river, while admitting
that the proposed improvement would
benefit the property that lay along the
upper end of the river. thought that it
would not benefit them, as at certain per-
iods Of the year Lake Washington over
flowed its banks and damaged their land
anyhow. All persons who desired to
speak were heard and the commissioners
took the matter under advisement.
The precinct at Martins Creek estab-
lished yesterday was made registration
precinct and F. A. Babcock was appointed
to act as registrar.
Commissioner Fred Gasch is i'll and was
not able to attend to business yesterday.

A WOODEN Manufacturer Will Move HI

A Wooden Manufacturer Will Move His
Plant to tho Metropolis.
L. Walker, who started wooden mill in
Tacoma last May, proposes to establish
another one in this city, and will this
morning have an interview with the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce and
endeavor to secure their assistance. His
account Of the treatment he has received
from the Tacoma men who are interested
in the mill there forms . strange common
tary on their business methods:
Mr. Walker says that he formed q stock
company, the citizens of Tacoma raising
$34, 600 cash and he taking stock for about
$4,000 worth of machinery which he put
in the mill. He was also. elected general
manager of the concern. He got the mill
in running order and doing profitable
business. when, WITHOUT notice or COM
plant, the directors discharged him. He
could get no explanation Of this treatment
and was turned out of the property, al
though he owns two-thirds of the plant
He came to this city yesterday, and to
reporter he said he was going to start .
wooden mill here. He will endeavor to
get small amount of stock taken or get
some business men for partners. He says,
though. that he intends to run . wooden
mill here whether Others join him or not.
He can show that there is money in the
enterprise, and that it will be . big thing
for the commercial interests Of the city.
He proposes to take the machinery out Of
the Tacoma mill and bring it here, or if
the Tacoma people want to pay him the
cash for it he will get other machinery
just as good.
Mr.. Walker is an old wooden manufact-
urer, and Is well known to the trade. He
has been for ten years president of the
California Wool Growers Association, and
has mill now running in that stste. Tho
trade has grown beyond the capacity Of
that mill, and he wants 10 start another.
He does not want to enlarge his Cali.
fornia plant, because the water 10 so aka
line that he can only dye certain colors
there, and last year paid out 81, 900 to an
other mill to furnish hin, goods he could
not make, in order to supply his trade.
Mr.. Walker says he will have his mill rum
ming within sixty days, as he has q trade
already established and orders ahead for
goods to be turned out tais season.
