The Allegations.
The allegations. IN part. follow:

Inc uiicShl!Dilf, part,
That the men named as defendants
were on December 20, 1905, before and
since. officers. agents aud employees Of
the Southern Railway Company, yir-
GINA corporation; that the Southern Is
the only railway in this section, and has
q complete monopoly here: that being g.
foreign corporation. the Southern Rail-
way has no power TO condemn property
for railway purposes.
That by reason OF the mountainous
character OF the country around Ashe-
VILE. the city Is difficult of approach by
railway. and that the narrow valley of
the French Broad River affords the only
feasible route for railway lines into
Aghepie
That the Southern had already occu-
pied the west bank of the river and
part OF the east bank, leaving part of the
east bank unoccupied. and that this east
bank below the railway bridge and the
west bank above 1t afforded the only
feasible route Tor an independent road.
That the Southern Railway, having no
regard for the public interests. but cum
nlngly and fradulenty designing to sub
serve and promote its own private in
terests and TO strengthen its monopoly
OF railway transportation, has set about
and Is now engaged in the attempt to
preenlpt and occupy both the remaining
approaches to Asheville, and has pur-
chased extensive lands In the name of
the Georgia Industrial Realty Company.
That because 1t could not condemn
land and could not buy all it wished,
the Southern Railway conspred with the
defendants named to get this land by
Incorporating the Asheville Southern Rail-
way Company.
That said incorporation was n fraud
upon the state of North Carolina" de-
vised and contrived for the purpose of
enabling the Southern Railway uniaw-
fully to seize. take and occupy lands of
plaintiffs and others.
1t is claimed that the plaintiffs should
have $4,000 damages and that these
facts cannot be set up In the condemna-
ton proceedings. and an injunction is
plaintiffs only remedy. That the Ashe-
vile Southern RAILWAY is insolvent.
