battle tomorrow. Ramsey, E. b.
Pryor, Wells Blodgett, c. N. Travery,
B. C. Winston and G. A. Francisco

Ramsey says that the st. Louis
courts decision is just as if he knew
a man intended stealing and then let
him do it. Gould's attorney declares
that the withdrawal of Ramseys ap-
plication is an admission of defeat.
Ramsey's attorney denies this and
says the election will see another
fgh:.
At the opening of court this after
noon Ramseys counsel announced q
telegram from st. Louis regarding the
adverse decision, in view of which
fact there was nothing to do but WITH
draw the application for different in
spectors. Attorney Doyle said he
did not agree with the decision, but
accepted it and withdrew his appli-
cation.
Colonel S. c. Reynolds, Wabash
director, declares that Gould has
already won the contest. He says
that Gould has been conducting
"gumshoe campaign" which Is al
ready victorious.
Ramsey has given up the fight for
control of the Wabash.

ton to collect a sum approximating
$450O alleged to be due on contract to
pay for a subsidy for building rail-
way line from Hunts junction to

Walla Wallans to redeem pledges guar
anteed Mr. Hunt at the time he con-
structed the Hunt system from Hunts
junction to Dayton nearly 20 years
ago.
The contract given by the Uptons
dates back into 1889 and originally

time amounts to more tnan the princi-
pal, the aggregate sum being sued
for, amounting to nearly $4,000. The
case is being heard by Judge Mitch
ell Gillian OF Seattle. Judge Brents
was disqualified from sitting on the
case owing to having been employed
as an attorney for Mr.. Hunt in sim
liar cases started wears ago. Mr..
