Dr. Perrin Springs New Point in His
 Fight
Is Not Sole Owner And Others Must Be
 Notified

For third time the action brought by the Grand Canyon Railroad Company to condemn about 40 acres of desert ground lying alongside of the line of its road, met a set back yesterday afternoon, and E. B. Perrin, the party defendant, scored another point in what promises to be a bitter legal battle which involves several new legal questions.
 The railroad company was repre- sented by T. J. Norton, general coun sel for the Santa Fe, and Herndon & Norris, of Prescott.
 Dr. E. B. Perrin, the defendant in the action, was present, and was re- presented by 4. J. Williams, Judge W. Bennett, and F.. M. Doe. Perrin, through his attorneys, is fighting for delay, while the Grand Canyon Rail road is equally anxious to obtain i'm mediate possession of the forty acres, so as to immediately make use of the cinder deposit thereon, for ballast ing the road between Williams and Grand Canyon.
 Attorney Norton made a hard fight, in an endeavor to get an order from Judge Sloan authorizing the company to take possession, and put up bond of certain sum to protect the own CTS, and to guarantee the payment to the owners of whatever amount would be agreed upon as the price to be paid by the railroad company.
 But a new fact was developed by the defense, in that as Dr. F. B. Per Tin was only the owner of an undivideu one-ffth interest in this cinder bed it would be necessary, according to the territorial statute covering condem- nation proceedings, to notify all oth- CT interests of these proceedings, so that they might appear direct or by counsel and safeguard their interests thereby
 This was strenuously objected to on the part of Attorney Norton, who ar gued that as this was only prelimin- ary proceeding, it would be within the jurisdiction of the court to issue an order for the company to take posses sion, pending the time of final trial and decision in the matter. But the court ruled otherwise, and ordered that the parties who own the other fouf-ffth interest, be notified by letter and by two weekly publications, of the day and time set for the next hearing on June 18th.
 This postponement is particularly distasteful to the Grand Canyon Rail road company at this time, it being understood that they have a section crew up there under full pay, ready to go ahead and commence to exeavate the eiRders as soon as word is receiv- ed by them that the company has gained possession of the forty acres. It is also understood that a temporary telegraph station has been installed at this point, for the purpose of receiving slTch word, so that no time might be lost in starting the section crew to work The property that is sought to be condemned is a tract of land near Red Lake, Coconino county, and is within a short distance of the track. Both sides were prepared with wit nesses yesterday. those for the Grand Canyon Railroad Company being Chief Engineer Burns, J. R. Andrews, private secretary, and Charles Howard, known as a sheep owner.
 Perrin was accompanied by A. T. Cornish, supervisor of Coconino cOun- ty, and c. BrOws, forepan on the Perrin ranch.

STANFORD STORY is DENIED
Efforts to Induce Physicians to Change
Opinion Refuted.

San Francisco. Cal. Aug. 25.-Refer
ring TO a cable dispatch from Honolulu
which intimated that efforts had been
made to induce the autopsy surgeon
and physicians who attended Mrs. lie
land Stanford AT the time of her death
TO modify their first statements regard
ing poisoning. Attorney Wilson. repre-
sentinS the Stanford estate. and De-
tective Capt Calmndan deny that
there was any such attempt. The state
ment was based on the alleged rejec-
tion of claim for remuneration pre-
sented by DIR. C. X Wood. who per
formed the autopsy.
Il do not know said Attorney vii
son. that DR.. Wood has made a claim
for remuneration for his services as an
autopsy physician. There was a claim
from Wood d Day, who are partners.
for $50 which has been paid. In fact.
all the physicians connected with the
last illness of Mrs. Stanford have been
paid. The intimation that an effort hal
been made to have these physicians
change their statement is too ridicu-
lOusly absurd To require a denial"
Capt. Callundan said every legiti-
mate claim had been paid.
