Beaumont. Texas, May 27.--Preparations
OF the wells-Fargo Express company to
build a new brick office on the site from
which the old building has just been re-
moved have come to an abrupt end This
site is on the Southern Paciflc's right of

with Pearl street, and Mr.. " Hlanchette,
VINO owns the adjoining properly, served
notice that II an attempt to construct the
building for the express company was
made he would invoke an Injunction to
stop the work.
Mr.. Blanehette contends that the express
company has no lawful right on the South
ern Pacific right of way. He says the
ground was donated to the railroad for
track purposes only and be int1pds in
ssting that 1t be used for nothing else
Mr.. Blanehette owns the adjoining prop
erty and is preparing 20 erect a block OF
two-stoy brick buildings
A representative Of the express COM
psny has been in the city to investigate
the controversy, but has done nothing
TO relieve the situation.
