VALLEY ROAD At FRESNO.
No Obstacle to Be Placed in
the Way Of the Railroad
Company.
The Proceedings in Court Instituted
for the Purpose of Legal
Accuracy.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 26.-The report
that Fresno had placed an obstacle in the
way of the Valley road by refusing to
grant franchise through the city is I'M
founded.
The suit in the Supreme Court brought
by Attorney Preston is friendly one and
is in accordance with the programme ar
ranged by himself and the Trustees of this
city while he was here on his recent visit.
In order to have the Supreme Court pass
upon the law regarding the awarding of
the franchises, it was agreed to have the
Trustees plead the law which provides
that bids for franchises must be
advertised for and sold to the highest
bidder. and that the railroad company
bring mandamus proceedings in the
Supreme Court, so that the court would
pass upon the matter Immediately. Trus-
tees of this city will surely place no OBJ
stacle in the way of the new road.
From 700 to 1000 deer were shipped out
of Villas County, Wis, during the open
