AID OF COURT ASKED
INTERESTING INsuRANcEFIGHr
temporary Injunction TO Prevent In
reference With the Con-
tinental Company's
Business.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9Th,
trouble among the Insurance mer
reached an interesting stage today
when W. S. Duval, state agent of the
Continental Insurance Company, went
before Judge McKenna, of the United
States Circuit court, and secured O
temporary injunction restraining the
combination of insurance men. who
recently organized as the board of
FIRE Underwriters of the Pacific Coast,
from interfering with his business
Judge Mckennas ct the case for hear.
ing March 2S. The complaint flied to-
day alleges Intimidation and Il con-
splracy to boycott The recently
organized board, it is alleged, Is a
secret organization, the purpose of
which is to coerce other insurance
agents and companies and interfere
with, vex, annoy and obstruct them
III the management of their business.
Ihe complaint alleges that the com
panles forming the board have con
spired by agreement not only 20 re.
gnlate their own conduct but TO in
terlere with the rights and privileges
OF the plaintiff company and other
companies which have refused to ioln
the compact. 1t is reeited that the
constitution of this new board of
underwriters contain a nan-intercourse
clause, through the operation of which
agents representing the companies in
the combine are prohibited from plac.
ing any insurance for or with com.
pallles not of he combine. Thus
the complainants allege, they are
practically boycotted. Il is alleged
100, that an attempt has been made 10
lnJure the business of the Continental
Company by means of circulars and
kilograms, which have been distributed
throughout the Pacific coast states.
Specific instances are cited Of the
operation of the alleged boycott in the
cities of Seattle, Spokane, Oakland, |
San Jose and Visalia. 1t is alleged
that many agents Of the Continental
have been coereed into abandoning
their work for the complaining com.
pany. The injunction issued orders
that the alleged interference COM
planned of shall ceases, and cities the
defendant companies to appear and
show cause why the injunction should |
not be made permanent.

~ DID THEY DEAL FAIRLY
Those Who Now Want the o. p. Sal,
A Set Aside?

g. pSt "oihNs
"A correspondent in the Corvallis
Iimes signing himself as Junius says:
."ofrthe 3rd day of January last, when
|&hespurchasers Of the 0. P. railroad
made an application to the court to
to confirm, the sale, a strong appeal
was.made to the court by certain par.
ties Tor time in which to raise money
TO Increase the amount bid, and strong
ands apparently sincere assurances
gwen that the amount would be
doubled Under the extraordinary eff.
forts made,the time for confirming the
saie'was extended to the 10Th of the
month, when there being no prospect
OF any better bid the sale wss con-
drmed. Now then, parties are appeal
ing from the order of confirmation on
theorder of October 20, 1894, ordering
The salelas null and void. IF that is
true, is'lt reasonable to suppose they
would have bid 100000 for the pro.
pertp at void sale? There does not
appear, to be any good faith in the
movement, and ifthey can get the
saie set aside, the road will probably
tall back into the hands Of the court,
andthere'will never be another pur-
road Will rot; the enterprise
Will be abandoned; the whole William
ette valley will suffer and the ousted
faction will have their revenge. What
is to be gained by this appeal? Is
there aman in this county who be-
lievesiahy better bid can be got for the
road2 II not, what other object can |
theresbeinfthis whole movement, ex.
pept to kill the enterprise, now and
