Special 20 the 9ssotte,
SHERMAN, Tx, Sept 1.-THE in
junction sued out by the Western |
Union Telegraph company to restrain !
the Baltimore Is Ohio company from
erecting competing line through |
Grayson county was tried before Judge |
Maltble last Saturday, but as the bond |
and petition had not been filed with
the clerk the proceedings escaped our
notice until to-day. The point ON
which the petitioners obtained the
restraint asked was that the power to
condemn and occupy right of
way through the counties of Dallas,
Collin and GrAyson was granted
by the county court df Dallas
county, and the decislou OF his honor
was that that court had no Jurisdiction
| over the subject of eminent domain In
this county; hence the Injunction was
! granted. IL now remains for the Bal
! timore & Ohio company 20 petition
our county court and get from them
the authority TO build their limo When
this Ia done they can proceed without
delay aud establish the much needed
competing line TO sherman.
The long-fought Injunction suit be.
tween the rival towns, Old Collinsville
and the new town at the railroad sta.
ton, was set for hearing to day In the
district court and brought cloud OF
witnesses over To testify. AZ neatly
every man there knows something of
the facts In this case, and everybody
who knows anything pro or con Ia
wanted In the trial, Il ~ no stretch OF
fancy TO say that about all of Collins
Vile IL II, Sherman to-day. Perhaps
no case before our court In
years past has excited more
interest In the locality affected by IT,
and few have excited half the amount
Of acrimony and bitterness between
old friends and neighbors. We under
took TO state this cause OF action In u
newspaper report about n year ago, and
on account Of n slight error Ia the
original parties named came very neal
Z getting "llokedh So II any reader
wants further particulars now he must
search the records for himself.
