work and not take any papers served upon
any one of them.
Higgins, 1t is averred, refused positively
to listen to the deputy; then Flynn went
to each workman individually and told him
to stop, which all promptly refused to do.
''You must take those papers," said
Flynn approaching the forman in charge
of the gang of men.

away.
and slipped the summons into his coat
pocket, parleyed no longer, but made his
way back to the City Hall.
The foreman flung the papers on the
ground, told his employees to keep on with
their work and not to mind the injunc-
ton of the county officer.
This is why the Sutter-street company is
crying contempt" and threatening to
press the case to the bitter end.
The Sutter-street corporation holds
that its old Bush-street franchise covers
part OF Genital avenue. and for that
reason it is entitled 10 right of way along
that street between Bush and California
streets. Mayor Ellert once tore up a por-
ton OF the Bush-street concerns tracks on
the ground that the franchise had been
forfeited because of the requirements
therein that cars should be run over the
road certain number of times a day.
This and the fact that the law states that
an opposition company can go for five
blocks over another corporations tracks
will probably be the basis for defense on
Mr.. Sutro's part.
mo papers have We: been served on
me-" said Mr.. Sutro last evening. "All L
know about the matter is what l read in
the evening papers. / snail wait the ser
vice of papers, of course, before taking
action.
''rhe little trouble does not bother me at
all l have the law on my side and will
win.
81 sincerely hope the papers will take
the matter up, for it is plain to me that
the action of the Sutter-street company was
instgated by the cunning workers for the
great octopus.
"The piece of ground broken by my men,
upon which work was being carried on
yesterday. is part Of the street covered by
the old Bush-stTest franchise, which has
been declared forfeited The law dis
tinctly permits me to proceed, and l do
not expect to stop work for a moment
sour road will only cover a couple of
blocks of Central avenue, over which this
ola right of way was given, while the law
says that we are allowed TO run over the
street for five blocks"
Mr.. Sutro was very unconcerned when
he spoke and did not seem to consider the
matter worth bothering about.
These people-the octopus, l mean
have been placing obstacles In our way in
an endeayor TO defeat our plans, and that
is all that the present attack amounts to-
simply scheme TO delay our building"
You are aware. Mr.. Sutro, that the fare
has been reduced to cents by the con-
solidated street roads from the water front
to the Cliff House?" was asked.
"Yes, l have heard SO, and that is vic
tory in itself for those who have fought to
secure cheap transportation for the people.
However. the opposition line will be built,
just the same. 1t will receive the patron
age of all libeTty-loying persons, and the
cut in rates by the enemy will not hurt it,,
chances for success in the least"

John Sammi, popular sportsman and
secretary of the San Francisco Rod and

brace of thoroughbred Irish water SPAN

dogs received while in transit because, as

to this city from Eastern kennels have
been received by the consignees in wretched

over his excellent purchase, as the young
