To GRANT AN
INJUNCTION

Judge Card has ruled that he
cannot according to law grant an
Injunction against the county
commissioners restraining them
from allowing the Tacoma Rail-
way G. Power company to tear up
its tracks to Steilacoom.
Il cannot presume they will
take the law into their own hands
and therefore cannot grant an
Injunction, said the judge.
Notice of an appeal was served
by attorneys for property holders
directing to the removal of
tracks and the appeal bond was
fixed at $1,000. The petition
will be given a hearing by the
commissioners this week.
Judge Shackelford said the
company intended extending the
Pacific Traction line to Stella
COON and maintaining the present
line as far as Lemons beach.
