THEY WANT AN ELECTION
And Propose to Take Steps to That
End
San Bernardino Second Wsrders Are Pretty
1sd-The Nevada Southern In Good
Demand-City Notes

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. M.-The &C.
ton of the caucus held at the city hall
Thursday night. at which resolution
was adopted declaring against an elec-
ton in the Second ward, has stirred up
the worst sort of a hornets nest in that
district of the city.
| The result has been a spontaneous
movement by another body of citizens
of that ward, and Saturday aftarnoon
posters containing the Times-Index
report Of Thursday nights meeting
were put OH the street, along with q
call for another meeting to be held
this evening.
1t was reported on the street at
noon that Trustees Firth and Lawson
intended to publish a card announcing
that they would stand by the action
taken Thursday night and that they
woul ignore any action which might
be taken tonight. A conversation with
President Lawson develops the fact
that move had been considered, but
said he did not know what woule be
done, and refused to say whether or
not he would sign such card.
THE NEVADA SOUTHERN
Two papers were filed in the court
house today which seem to indicate
that the Nevada Southern railroad is
very much in demand. X. B. Anderson
has sold his certificate to the property,
it being decided to the California East
ern Railway company. Anderson pur-
chased the road at sherlff's and receiv-
er's sale few months ago, and now by
the paper filed this morning, he trans
fers all his interest to the new corpor-
alton.
And while this was filed in the re-
corder's office, copy of the article of
Incorporation of the California Eastern
! Railway company was filed in the
clerks office. The company was organ
lied in December and is capitalized for
$l,500,00O. The incorporators are all
Denver people, among them being r.
w. Woodbury., w. N. Byers, E. B. Coe,
E. M. Cranstons and r. J. Pitkin.
The object Of the company is to
operate a railroad from Blake on the
Atlantic & Pacific, to Good Springs,
Nevada. running through Marvel. Van
derbilt, Dry Lake, State Line to Good
Springs, in Lincoln county. That is,
the company proposes to extend the
Nevada Southern distance of about
forty miles. Nothing ia said about
building farther east than that point.
In the meantime, the question arises
as to what has become of Mayor Carl
son of San Diego and the company
which he is booming to build the road
on through to Salt Lake.
