the construction Of an S0-mle railroad
from tho Moiave in a northeastcrly d.
rection into the owens river country
1t is understood Los Angeles Is willing

southern California. The line will con-
tnue in a southwcsterly direction from
Hazen. via Nina and NIojave. The line
between HaEen and Sodavilc Is broad

ed in Judge Ritchie's Court
In Lawrence Case.

Charges OF Conspiracy Made Against
Master Plumbers Association, Crane
Company and Others Concerned.

The taking Of testimony IN the dam
age suit brought by ALERT T. Law
renee against the Crane company and
the members OF the Master Plumbers
association was commenced before
jury in Judge Ritchies court
yesterday afternoon. Lawrence al
leges that he is a plurnt er
but upon entering into BUSH
ness in this city did not Join tbs
Plumbers association. He charges that
the master plumbers entered into a
combination and conspiracy TO run him
out of business. They induced the
Crane company not to sell him any
plumbers supplies at all except at eX-
orbitant prices, and also induced east
ern dealers not to sell plaintiff supplies.
By reason OF the action Of defendants,
plaintiff claims that he has been COM
PEELED to quit the business and has
been damaged in the sum OF $4,000.
He asks Judgment for that amount and
also asks that II be trebled as exem-
piary damages. The trial promises to
be an interesting one, and win probably

ers' union.

arrangements in any new country.
Some time ago a light and railway

of construction. This dam is to furnish
power for an electric system for the
