BARNETT FINED
$50 FOR CONTEMPT
Wont Pay for Week, Pending Re-
quest to Supreme Court for In
depreciation Of Decree.

Eddie" Barnetts saloon and dance
hall. AZ Nos. S2s-s30 Randolph-st. was
declared a nuisance by Judge Hos
mer, Monday morning. and the pro-
prietor was declared TO be In con-
tempt of court for not obeying the
supreme court order to close hiS
place. A fine of $50 was imposed. but
the payment of the fine will not be
enforced for a week in order 10 give
the defendant time 20 obtain from the
SUI RENE court an Interpretation OF its
decision In the proceedings recently
brought against Barnett.
Attorney James "a. Pound. for the
complaining neighbors OF Barnett.
claimed that Eddie" was in con-
tempt for not closing his business ELI
tirely, as the decision OF the supreme
court seems To indicate he should. At
torneys Navin and BouIke, for the de-
PENDANT, claimed that their client was
not in contempt. arguing that the
nuisance complained OF had been
abated, and that he is now running a
quiet, orderly place. They held that
the supreme court decision enjoined
Barnett from conducting nuisance,
las heretofore maintained" The at
torneys claimed that the saloon was
not conducted as heretofore, but read
from affidavits IN which the place was
pictured almost as Sunday school.
Mr.. Pound claimed that under the
decision Barnett was enjoined from
conducting his business in any man
ner at the present location, and asked
that he be held In contempt and pun
ished 70 the limit OF the law.
The supreme court decision, over
which the difference of opinion pre-
walls, follows: THE decree dismiss
ing the bill is reversed, and II is ad-
judged that said saloon, cafe and
dance hall as heretofore maintained
are a nuisance. and that he be per-
petually enjoined from hereafter con-
Quoting or maintaining the same or
any similar place upon the premises"
Judge Hosmer held that this clearly
meant that in the opinion OF the SUI
preme court the saloon as conducted
by Barnett was nuisance per sc, and
he so found. Pending the application
TO the supreme court for an interpre
tation of the decree. the saloon will
be kept open.

declares Aid. Ellis. and number Of
others, who have heard from their
constituents. are ready to agree with
him.
Mayor Breitmeyer is being strongly
commended for his stand in this mat.

hope of stirring the council to action,
although his two messages on the sub
ject have not succeeded in getting re-
suits so FAR. one of the many letters
received by him is from the Detroit
Convention & Tourists bureau. The
letter follows:
Detroit. Mich, June II. 1909
Hon Philip Breitmeyer. Mayor, Detroit,
My Dear Mr.. Mayor-Am very much
pleased to note that you are using you
best efforts toward the settlement OF
the present ferry controversy. 1t Is
really too bad considering the fact
that there arc thousands OF visitors
in Detroit this month attending more
than a score of national and state con-
ventions and yet that one great attrac-
ton that has helped to make Detroit
famous is not in moving operation The
very fact that you could ride on our
magnificent ferry boats for 10 hours
Tor 10 cents has done much 10 make
Detroit n convention city.
I have heard the late Mayor May
hurry mention this scores OF times In
his addresses 70 convention visitors and
DO hope that you will be success
ful with the aid or the city council,
in having this matter settled as soon
as possible.--.-,- "

Another letter. from travelling man,
states that the writer has found that
no other city has such fine boat serv-
Lee as Detroit and that the Belle Isle
boats are one of the things he hears
mentioned everywhere in connection
with this city.
No further move has been made by
the Detroit, Belle Isle & Windsor Fer
nv Co. nor has any meeting of the d.
rectors been held recently. The off,
GERS of the old company are sure that
no competing company can get boats

Track Is Laid To Near Deep Hole

Next Thursday the crew with the
tracklaying machine expect to be at
Deep Hole, the next terminal point on
the Western Pacific west of Winnie
mucca. Tracklaying is being rushed
toward the California line and the
contractors who are grading in that
locality are pushing their work as rap
idly as possible in order to keep ahead
of the tracklaying machine. Deep Hole
where the next division point will be
located, is 100 miles west of here, in
Washoe county.
Tracklaying from the east is not be-
ing pushed as rapidly as on the west
end. Steel has been too scarce to keep
the two big tracklaying machines in
operation and the greatest number of
cars of rails arriving are sent westward
so that part Of the new road can be
completed to the California line, where
the work will be retarded on account
of the many tunnels in the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, which the railroad
will pass through. However, the steel
will all be laid on the east end some
time next month.-Humbold Star

Track Laid In Western Pacific Tunnels

Track laying through the Spring
Garden and Beckwith tunnels on the
Western Pacific railroad, by which the
new line gains access to California
through the Sierra Nevada mountains,
has been completed, according to Off
cial word from the western end of the
line. The Spring Garden tunnel is
1905 feet long and the Beckwith tun-
mel is 6,OO8 feet long.
In selecting the route in California
the engineers of the Western Pacific
found that near Hartwell the Feather
river canyon assumed such a precipi-
tous rise that it was not feasible for q
railroad grade. The canyon of an ad-
joining fork was studied and it was
proposed to connect the two by tun-
mel. AS originally planned this tun-
mel, if built, would have been about
$1,000 feet, or nearly three miles long.
It was later decided to build the big
Williams loop, the plans for which
contemplate the construction of q
roadbed following the outer contours
of an immense valley and crossing it.
self. By means of the loop, which will
be completed in another month, the
elevation of the Spring Garden tun-
mel has been 80 raised that its entire
length will be but 1906 feet. or one
third Of the distance called for in the
original scheme. ~ ".
Beckwith tunnel is sixteen miles east
of the town of Beckwith, where the
highest elevation of the roadbed across
the Sierras, 5,O1s feet, is encountered.
This, however, is fully 1000 feet low
Or than the roadbed of the Southern
Pacific over the Sierras.
