Judge Quicker MandamuS6d

The Pacific Reclamation Company,
against which the injunction was se-
cured by the Lovelock water users, has
taken the matter to the State Supreme
Court. Saturday an alternative writ of
mandamus. issued by Chief Justice
Sweeney. was served here upon Judge
Ducker. The writ requires the Judge to
either fix a stay bond in the water case
or to appear before the Supreme Court
on June IL and show cause why ne has
not done so. Presumably this is the
method decided upon by the Pacific.
Reclamation Company's attorneys to
get the case before the Supreme Court.
Judge Decker. ,it will be remembered,

company to fix a stay bond pending an
appeal. his decision being on the ground
that there is no appeal from an order
