Railway Suit Before Supreme Court
The suit of H. M. Lund vs. the-Idaho
& Washington Northern Railroad has
reached the supreme court at Olympia.
A dispatch from Olympia is as follows:
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 16. —The ques
tion of whether a railroad company must
settle with owners of abutting property
for possible damages before it operates j
upon a street in a town in which the
council has given a franchise upon the
street is a leading issue in a novel case
out of which a motion will be argued in
the supreme court tomorrow, that of H.
M. Lund against the Idaho & Washing
ton Northern Railroad Company. Lund
has a hardware store in the town of
Newport, Stevens county. The point at
issue is whether or not the order of the
supreme court setting aside the injunc
tion shall continue until the regular
appeal, which has been taken from the
lower court's decision, is passed upon.
The adjuster of the company which
holds the policy on the Steamer New
port, was in the city this week and ad
justed the fire loss of last week at $75,
a satisfactory settlement.
