of the Las Vegas division of the A., I. q
S. F., shortly after midnight, and he left
Las Vegas on special train at once in
company with his stenographer, Mr..

latter arrived here from Ration on
special train bringing sealed messages
from Supt. Hurley to Judge h. l.. Waldo,
solicitor for the receivers of the A., L. d

of j. E. Hurley was filed in the case of
the Union Trust company vs.. the A.,

in the territorial district court here,
charging that Robert Bland and Others,
to-wit: George Runyan, Fred Hallowell,
- Glare, Thos. Gardner, Frank Lackey
and Peter Schmidt had last evening
switched off the Pullman cars attached to
the incoming A., L. & s. F. train at Ration
and had refused and still refuse to per-
NIT them to be run as part Of the regu-
lar passenger and mail trains.
On the strength of this affidavit Judge
Waldo, as the legal representative of the
receivers of the road, applied for war
rant for the arrest of the above named
parties on the charge of
CONTEMPT OF COURT
in that they were interfering with prop
erty in the hands OF the court. The war
rant was issued and directed to U. s.
Marshal Hall who was expressly desig-
mated by the court to serve it.
On motion of the attorney for the
receivers also Judge Seeds issued re-
straining order against the above named
parties or all officers, agents or employees
of the American Railway Union restrain
ing them from in any manner interfering
with the trains of the A., T. s. F. COM
pany or with the cars of the Pullman
company operated as part of these trains
FLYING TOWARD RATION.
Armed with these legal documents U. S
Marshal Hall, accompanied by Deput.
Thos. Tucker and three other deputies ant
also by Judge Waldo, took the morning
train for Ration. The train was to hav,
left at O'Clock, but was held here unit
1O:40 to permit the issuance of thes'
papers by the court, and the main lint
morning train was held also at Lam!
junction for similar purpose. Thu
train will reach Ration about $3.50 thi
evening Judge Waldo felt it best to q
along with the officers in order to explain
to the accused men, all employees of thu
railroad company in one capacity O.
another, that they are clearly in contemp
of court, thus hoping to persuade them
to peacefully desist, before serving tn,
warrants. In case the men are arrested
they will, in accordance with the wording
of the warrant, be brought forthwith tt
appear here before Judge Seeds.
