contractor for the Orient was in from
the west side grading yesterday. He
said that they were through the first
five miles of country west of town and
would receive orders what to do next.
He did not have any idea what the
next move would be, but thinks that
possibly the men may be ordered to lie
idle for a week until the injunction suit
of the Santa. Fe is heard. If thi is not
done, then the next five miles of land
will probably be taken up.
The attorneys in the injunction suit
were taking dispositions yesterday
among the parties interested, getting
ready for a hasty hearing of the case
as soon as Judge Madden returns from
Colorado.
