Boise-In the Supreme court an in
teresting case has just been heard,
growing out of the annexation of por-
ton of Shoshone county to Nez Perces.
The case is in the form of an applica
ton for a writ of mandamus to compel
Leslie Thompson, accountant appointed
by Nez Perces county, to act with a
like accountant named by Shoshone,
to apportion the debt of Shoshone to
be assumed by Nez Perces. The ac-
countants differed on many points, no
report was filed. and it is sought to
compel Thompson to file one.
One point of difference arises from
the fact that Shoshone county assessed
timber belonging to the Clearwater
Timber company in the annexed terri
tory. The Nez Perces accountant re-
sists this, on the ground that the tim
Der was not assessable. W. E. Borah
was in court. He stated that if the
court intended to pass upon that point
he wished to be heard as attorney for
some of the timbermen. The court did
not intimate what it would do.
The Shoshone county accountant in
sisted upon apportioning the debt as
of date of November IL, 1904, after the
vote of the people on the change, while
the Nez Perces man held it should be
as of May 8, 1908, when the act sub
hitting the question became effective.
Many other points of difference were
brought out.
County Attorney Grow, for Nez
Perces, insisted the debt apportioned
should not be made a charge against
Nez Perces, but against the annexed
territory, Nez Perces simply acting as
collection agent. The matter was
taken under advisement.

TIE Latter Road Forbidden 10 Tear Up a
Switch-New Point In Rallropdlng.
PIrrsBURd. Pa. Feb. ls.-The Wabash
Railroad here to-day gained signal victory
over the Pennsylvania when Judge Rogers,
in Common Pleas Court No. :, handed
down a decision making permanent the
temporary injunction against the Penn
sylvania restraining it from lifting one
of its own switches at Bridgevlle Pa
The decision il ere which practically
creates new ideas in railroading, and prac-
tically denies to any road the right TO
sever working relation which IL may
have had with another road without the
consent OF the second party. In the
Bridgeville case the Pennsylvania decided
to tear up a switch which had been
used by that roed for the exchange OF
freight with the Wabash, which had tracks
adjoining
When this was done Howard Gould was in
Pittsburg and rushed into court and obtained
an Injunction He hurried the Sheriff to
Bridgeyille by his own special train TO
serve the papers on the Pennsylvania
people. The assertion Of the Wabash was
that the lifting Of the switch would sever
relations between the two roads at Bridge
Vile, and thus work great harm to the
Wabash
