SUIT FILED BY VALLEY
 RAILROAD ENTER COURT TO OBTAIN RIGHT OF WAY FOR EXTENSION
 NOW BUILDING.
CLAIM R0LDuP IS ATTEMPTED
RAILROAD ATTORNEY TELLS HIS SIDE or STORY IN INTER
 VIEW YESTERDAY.

Every effort 10 effect sediment on what the railroad considered reason able basis having failed, suit was filed by the G. V. c. & N. railway against the Miami Realty company and other defendants, to secure right of way through the townsite of the company, near the Miami mines.
 For the past several months officials of the railroad have been attempting to settle with the Miami people on a cash basis. Some twelve acres of right of way for an extension to Miami IS concerned. The owners Of the townsite held out for over $l200 an acre for She property and the company, feeling that hold-up has been attempted, has thrown down the gauntlet.
 That q deliberate hold-up was at tempted, is shown, the company holds, in resolution passed by the Miami Realty company about q month ago.
 In this resolution it is set forth that: "Whereas the scheduled price of said land would place value of $l7,000 on said right of way, now be it ie. solved that price of $15,000 be named as the price of said right of way ana that in consideration of the statioa.- that is, the only station to be placed within three miles of the property of this company-being placed within POO yards of the west line of the Barnett property, the price of said right-of way will be reduced to $7,500.o
 "The hold-up comes in the three-mile clause in the resolution, said Attor. ney Gibson Taylor, representing the Randolph interests, to the Silver Belt yesterday. 'Here are the facts in the matter. It is only two miles from the property of the Miami Realty company to the mining district, where the road must stop. If we were to agree to their demands and give them the only station within three miles of the towusite. we would be prevented from putting in a station at the mine, and the road might as well not be built.
 "But it will be built, rest assured of that. This company is not in the town. site business. It is here to build rail road and not to boom the property of any company or individual. The Miam, people attempted a deliberate hold-up and we will settle the matter through the courts.
 ''Th;s land was purchaced last De. cember for $56 an acre. We have os- fered the owners nearly three times as much as it is worth, in order to keen the matter out of the courts, but when they fiatly declined to take less than $l200 an acre for this same property, it was not deemed advisable to lose any more time in dealing with them. "We purchased land today near this townsite for $l00 an acre and it will be damaged ten times more than that in the townsite. I am satisfied that we will get justice in the courts and re- ceive possession of the property with Tout having to pay the exorbitant price that has been asked.
 "We will put up an indemnity bond to cover any price which may be fixed and the work will not be delayed by any price which may be fixed and the work win not be delayed by any legal entanglements.
 W. T: Price is included in the list of defendants. Price owns piece of property within the townsite limits and while he is said to be willing to settlc on a fair figure, the railroad officials state that he is being influenced by the
