ONE OR TWO RECEIVERS
Argument in the Oregon Short Line Case
Concluded


SALT LAKE, June S.-The Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern receiver
case has been argued down to a point
where about the only difference between
the contending parties seems to be
whether there shall be one or two receiv-
ers appointed. The Union Pacific still
insists on an associate receiver, while the
loan company maintains that sucn ap-
pointment would defeat the whole pur-
pose of the separate receivership because
of the brief time which would be given
to raise tho money to be paid. until
July 1.
MIR. Storey in continuing his argument
this morning, insisted that the Amerl-
can Loan and Trust company's only pur-
pose in the litigation was to put a man
In charge of the Short Line who would
guard its interests in relation to other
roads and not be on both sides OF the
same question. The company had only
to July lst in which to raise over 81, 400, 900
to meet defaulting interest on the first
mortgages. The purpoes of the other
side was to secure modification of tn c
order so the loan company would have
to go back BE- Judges Gilbert and Sanborn
and cause delay so there would be no time
before July lst to raise the money. He
referred to the condition OF the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company which
has shown in six months loss of 500.
600 ami under new receiver had within
five months paid the interest and cleared
the indebtedness. II S success was because
he was in close contact With the patrons
of the line.
AS to the appointment Of Mr.. Egan, he
was man against whom the Union Pa
itic could find 10 fault and yet they ask
for an associate receiver. To appoint
an associate receiver 1t would be a separ
ation in name and not in fact and would
be extremely unfair. Ii this court
should find MIR. Egan unsuitable it could
remove him or associate another with
him. "We ask you to take him on trial
and we will abide by the result"
Al this point the hearing closed. A de-
cision III the case is expected on Monday.

night in the bastie u! Los Angeles.
In the early morning there was new
arrival in the person of well-dressed
but slightly intoxicated man. This ac-

The cell door was thrown open and the

on the other side. He was then taken to

 The largest gold nugget ever found on the Colorado river, was that found in the little gulch that runs down from the Ponce de Leon and Prince Hal mines at Picacho near the end lines of the two. It was worth sl360. A large amount of very coarse gold was also found in the gulch on these two mines.
