Howell, general manager for ! the water district, was on the witness | stand for a short time in federal| court, where the injunction suit of the Water board against the City of South Omaha, the Stock Yards com- | pany and the packing houses is being tried. The Water board is seeking an in- junction preventing the city of South Omaha from putting into effect the ordinance by which it gave the de- fendants the right to lay water mains through the city's streets.

Mr, Howell will take the stand for a more”extended ex- amination after these details are fixed. Besides the leading attorneys a num- ber of South Omaha officials and also the attorneys for the several packing houses were present in court.
