! A Dixon dispatch 70 the Chicago Iri5un'
gives the following information which will
be read with interest by those of thi. county
who are acquainted with the reverend gen
tleman named. At Il largely attended
meeting of Catholics here it was resolved,
AS the Bishop had failed n promised +" re
move the priest, the Rev Father Gray, be.
tween whom and the congreg CATION there
has been much trouble of late, As u last re-.
sort to apply to the courts for relief in the
form of an injunction restraining the priest
from officiating. There was hardly a dis.
senting voice in this action, they feeling that
Bishop Feehan and Father Gray had by
their acts driven them TO take this course"
Father Gray was for several years rector Of
St Mary's church at Peru While there
his administration of the affairs of the par.
ish did not give absolute satisfaction to all.
and he was subsequently transferred from
the Peoria Diocese to the Chicago and was
placed in charge of the Dixon church. Iii
stated that affairs temporal have not been
very pleasant between Father Gray and his
flock for some time past, and il was known
in ecclesiastical circles in this city that rep.
rescntatives of the parish had pettioned
the Archbishop TO remove him some time
ago.
We see by the Yorkyille Record that pa
pers were filed on Monday in the Kendall
county circuit court by bondholders in the
Ottawa, Oswego and Fox River Valley K.
r. Co, making that company, the county
of Kendall, and the towns Of Oswego, Ken
dali and Fox defendants The parties are
all Eastern, and the attorneys are Cooper,
Osborn & Lynde, of Chicago The bill re-
cites the voting and issuing of the bonds to
aid the building of the Fox River road, the
lawsuit and defeat Of the bondholders in
the Supreme Court, and then AYERS that the
county and towns are the holders of capital
stock in said railroad company for which
they refused to pay and to which they have
no legal claim Petitioners further set forth
that the railroad company appropriated
the price paid for the bonds and the bond
holders have the first lien on the capital
stock of the company and to the earnings
belonging TO the holders Of stock while 1t
has been in the hands Of the county and
the towns and under the management Of
the c., B. q @. Company which II is set
forth became wrongfully possessed of the
road, owns a majority of the stock, and has
absorbed all its earnings to the prejudice of
the other stockholders, and the plaintiffs
demand an accounting by the c., b q o.
and that the capital stock of the Fox River
road in possession of the county and towns
be turned over to the rightful owners who
paid their money for the same. We think
the county and towns will hardly dispute
these demands.
