FENCES MUST COME DOWN ON DAY FIXED |Motor Company Files Bond, but Judge Asse Inoperative in Thi ceeding. Supersedens entering the decree in the injunction of Crisman & Robards and others against the motor company, made the mandate more sweeping than his rullng had previously implied. Under the decree the motor com- pany Is also restrained from obstructing the boulevard which formerly ran along the | luke front at the foot of Third street, a without this property owners at Manawa | would have no access to the lake. The decree reads as follows: | Wherefore, it is ordered, adjudged and| decreed by ‘the court thaf the Omaha, Council Biufts & Subyroan company and the Omaha & Council Blufts Bridge and Rallway company, thelr officers and agents be, and forever are enjoined from fencing obstructing, using or occupying, or in any manner use, occupy or Interfere with ths | following described streets, in what {s | known as Manawa park: Park avenue from its intersection on the | west with the county road to its infersec. tion with the county road on the east, and | through said intersection with the rounty road to South First street on said plat.

The decree further provides that the temporary injunction is made permanent and In case the motor company falls to re- move the fences and other obstructions by noon of July 3 an order will issue from the court instructing the sheriff or other duly qualified officer of the court to abate the nuisance. The costs in the action are taxed up against the motor company. Motor Company Appeals. The motor company, as soon as the de- cree was entered, not only filed notice of appeal, but a supersedeas bond in the sum of $1,000, which was approved by N. C. Phillips, clerk of the superior court.

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Rallway and Bridge company was made defendant in two suits yesterday in the district court, in which the plaintiffs, Daniel J. DuVol and George W. O'Brien each ask $5,000 dam- ages for alleged mistreatment and indigni- tles they were subjected to by employes of the company on the night of May 8 last. The petition in both sults set forth sub- stantially similar allegations. The plaintiffs recite that they boarded a motor car in Omaha to return to their homes in this city and paid their fares, and that when the car reached about the center of the bridge over the Missourl river the con- ductor again demanded the fares from them. They refused to pay a second time and the conductor threatened to put them off the car, but they were not ejected until the car reached the power house and barn. Here, they allege, a number of the com- mains to be seen. Judge Bcott denied the application of the company to file such a bond on the grounds that injunction pro- ceedings cannot be stayed by supersedeas and that his order must be carried out on or before the date set in the decree. The attorneys for the motor company, on the other hand, contend that the filing of the suporsedeas bond {s perfectly legal and that it will serve as a stay of further pro- ceedings pending the determination of the appeal. They take the grounds that as the fences complained of have already been erected the Injunction restraining the com- pany from thus obstructing the streets is of no practical account and that in order to compel them to remove them the court will have to make a further order declar- ing them a nulsance and that the bond will serve as a Stay Against any such further order. The motor company has conmstructed a dock along the bank of the lake and the at- torneys claim that it is on private land and that the boulevard ordered opened lles north of it, and that the company will erect a fence along the dock, thus shutting off access to the lake. It was stated last evening that in view of these threats by the attorneys for the motor company that counsel for Crisman & Robards would pre- sent the matter again to the court today tor a further order in the case.

TRAINMEN GET MORE PAY Employes of Iowa Central Recelve Substantial Advances in Wages by New Schedule. MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., June 26.—(Spe- clal.)—The matter of a new wage schedule for the Iowa Central tralnment has been disposed of and as a result of the negotia- tions the trainmen get a substantial in- crease of wages. A conference of the com- mittee appointed by the men was held with General Manager Day and Superintendeat Sweeney at Minneapolis. The following are the noteworthy changes in the schedule: On through freight runs the wages have been changed from $2.90 for conductors and $1.90 for brakemen per 100 miles to $3 and $2. On the local freight the former figures have been $2.90 and $1.90 and this Is ralsed to $3.25 and $2.16 2-| With switchmen at Oskaloosa and Mar- shalltown the raise amounts to about 30 per cent.

REINBECK, Ia, June 26— Special.)— The recovery of EAd Hendricks from a wound through both walls of the stomach is exciting comment from the general pub- lic of this section. Hendricks was accidentally shot during the afternoon of May 25. Dr. Powers of this place was called two hours after and found a bullethole in both walls of the stomach and the contents leaking into the abdominal cavity. The conditions were ex- actly parallel with those of President Mc- Kinley. He performed a similar operation to that upon the president and the young fireworks in the city. A. B. Howe, 310 Broadway.

The eurollment at the county institute yesterday passed the 280 mark and it is expected that by Monday it will exceed that of last year, when 300 teachers were in attendance. A feature of yesterday morning's session was the address by County Superintendent McManus, in which he outlined and dis- cussed the work of the State Teachers' Reading circles. He took the opportunity to advocate two changes In the present educational system of the state, one whereby teachers desiring to remove to | another county could take their examina- | tions in the county in which they resided, instead of being compelled to do 2o before | the superintendent of the county to which they desired to go. The other change sug- gested was in the time of. holding the county institute. Prof. McManus advocated | the holding of the institute In September, when the achools are in session, and that date the crowd. The members of the asso clation, headcd by a band, marched from First street to the depot. Practically all the grocery stores in the city and many of the butcher shops were closed all day. The day was an ideal one and the picnickers were able to thoroughly emjoy a lengthy program of sports and contests, for which prizes were awarded. Two ball games ‘were played, the Main street grocery clerks defeating their brethern on Broadway and the grocers defeating the butchers.. The first train on the return trip left the grounds at 6 p. m., but few availed them- selves of it, most of the holiday-makers not returning until late.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., June 26.—(Speclal.} —Alonzo Wells, Rosa Gelger and Len Gelger, young children, were struck by a Northwestern freight train at Fairfax last vight. Rosa Geiger was fatally injured and Alonzo Wells may not recover. Towa State News Notes, If the rumor that Dick Clarkson is to have an office proves to be correct, the Cedar Rapids Gazette anticipates that “the cessation of his newspaper work will seem to him like the putting on of immortality and a bodily translation into heaven." Soloman Holmes, who lives on the James Whitney farm near Chariton, was cutting r{e Monday. This, In all probability, is the first cutting down in the county and surely an exceptionally good fleld. Lucas county is not always behind the procession. The 10-year-old son of T. Tolleffson of Missourl Valley met with a very serious and painful accident while playing with a toy, gu fon, one of the staples flying backward, striking the boy in the left eye. The sharp point of the staple penetrated t reball and there is but little chance of saving the sight of the eye. Centerville is bullding large hopes on its prospacts as & railroad center. It expects to be on the Rock Island’s Kansas City line after it is done shortening that route, and has another rallroad or two in view in the distance. Being almost exactly midwoy he- tween Kansas City and Rock Island It is | hopeful of securing the shops for thai Atvi- sion. Its large coal supply is a polot in its favor. The development of Centerville into a good large town would do no harm to that part of the state. The Waverly strawberry crop is a dis- appointment.

He and some boy companions were fishing in Cedar river. when ona of the other boys, in endeavoring to make a g00d cast, flung the line about his head in preparation for the throw.

He thinks the presi- dent leans on Secretary Shaw as to the situation in Jowa more than he does on the congressmen from this state. At the same time he believes that Shaw will ap- prove the action of the delegation rather than consider Governor Cummins' endorse- ment of Kemble for revenue collector.

The bullet went through the foot from the heel ana although thie occurred about the first of the year the wound has not healed and it 1s necessary for Shercleff to be kept in the hospital. Warden Jones of the Fort Madison peni- tentiary also reports that so far as he has been able to discover no part of the stolen property was ever returned to the jewelry house from which it was taken and no offer of restitution was made before the parole was granted. He is of the opinion that the diamonds were distributed among those who were in the deal in Omaha and that Shercleft got only a small part of the pro- ceeds. Home for Ex-Conviets. It is expected that the home for former convicts near Fort Dodge will be dedicated and used about the 1st of August: L. S.

The amount of tax which will-have to be paid is not yet knowa and a part of the estate will not be sub- Ject to the tax until after the death of the surviving widow, but it is estimated that about $8,000 will be received under the law. Ono-half of the judge's law library was left to one of his partners and as the library is valued at $30,000 this will yleld considerable taxes to the state at once. Deaf School Gets $28,000.
