NEVADA GRADE CASE CASE
TO Be ARGUED TODAY
Hearing Before Judge Tolbat in
This CITY.
NEW POINTS INVOLVED
BoTG RoAps WANT SOME RIGHT
or WAY.

Judge Talbot Of Nevada will hear ir
salt Lake today arguments in three san
Pedro-ShOrt line cases which involve
novel point in law and which VIII
have a vital effect on the routes OF the
Two lines. These are condemnation
proceedings brought by 1,-e Short Line

bought By the san PeGro. About f~ur
miles of right of way below Galleries
ia involved in these suits. but the de-
cislon I'm these cases will affect a large
part OF the routes. as there are other
cases pending and in contemplation.
In the present cases the san Pedro
bought land for its right of way, and
She Short Line began condemnation
proceedings against the land in the Ne
vaCa state courts. The San Pedro filed
deH urrcrs to the complaints on the
sround that sufficient cause FOX action
was not stated. and also raised the
broad question as to the legality Of
sub proceedings. The arguments today
VIII be on The Semurrers. and Judge
ralb0ts decision VIII necessarily in
clude a decision on the legality of con-
semnation proceedings CT this char
acter
Much hinges on the circumstances of
tne adoption of the survey by che Gre
Son Short Line for this route. This
road urges that Il was the first to adopt
ats survey for this route. and hence has
3 the prior right wherever there Is a
conflict between the two roads. The
question of priority OF survey was
raised by the Injunction proceedings
before Judge B-awlev. and the court
in this case decided that the Short Line
directors P-ere the first to adopt the
survey. which gave this road a techni-
cal advantage. The san Pedro attOr-
ueys claim that this was a fake" sur
vey. Should Judge TaIbot rule with
the Short Line and hold that this road
has a right 70 condemn land bought
by the San Pedro in case the Short Line
survey MAS the first adopted. the san
Pedro Will undoubtedly attack in the
state court the validity of the survey.
The survey is already under FIRE before
the register of the land Office. the case
coming up this month.

eral solicitor OF the Union Pacific, is in
