WAR ON THE FAIR ESTATE.
Removal OF Piles on the Water
Front Ordered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-Acting
under an order by Judge Hebbard,
made this morning, modifying the in
junction granted by Judge Slack, the
Harbor Commissioners ordered the i'm
mediate removal Of the piles on the
Devisadero- street water front, which
have caused such bitter strife in and
out of the courts between the Fair es-
tate and the Pacific Gas Company.
The tug Governor Markham, with a
pile-driver in tow, was dispatched to
the spot, but low water interviewed to
prevent the contractors from showing
the value ftheir threats Of armed re-
Sistance.
After the threatened outbreak of hos
tilities had subsided Judge Hebbard set
aside his first order, and fixed the en-
tire injunction proceedings for hearing
tomorrow morning. 1t is believed the
settlement of the controversy will now
be left to the courts.

an unseemly political squabbie over the
