The injunction case, wherein the
Ogden City Street Railway Com
pa1y pays for n permanent injunc-
ton against H H Henderson, Jos.
Brinker, A. :. Garretson aud the
City Of Ogden, eDjoining the former
from filing their bond OF 50, 900
with City Recorder McNutt, and
the latter from accepting, on behalf
OF tie city, said bond, has at las;
been decided, that Is, so faT rs this,
the First District Court, Is con-
cerned. The matter was submitted
by the attorneys for both sides last
Saturday and taken under advise
ment yesterday morning. Judge
Miner gave rs his opinion that
there was not sufficient ground
Tor action, and therefore or
dered the case dismissed. No no.
tice OF appeal was made in open
court but Judge Maginnis, one Of
the Ogden City Railway COmpany's
attorneys said that the case would
be taken 10 the Supreme Court OF
the Territory, and the Supreme
Court Of the United States II meets
sary. The papers Of appeal nave
ali been made out, and rs the court
sets in about two weeks an immedi-
ate hearing is assured. Lawyer
Hiles was seen after the decision
and asked when the bond would be
flied. He said that rs Mr.. Hender-
son was absent in Iowa, the bond
would not be filed until his
return, but he thought it
would he attended 10 i'm
mediate!y upen his arrival
in Ogden. When he would Sbe
back ne did not know, This decls-
sion, OF course, settles the business
rs far as the First District Court
goes, and unless given an injunction
by the Supreme Court OF the Terri
tory, the Ogden City company viii
have 70 wait at least two years for 4
decision, unless the case IS put
ahead by special request, and that
seems hardly probable, as much
more important cases have hau 10
follow the regular calendar, and
this one may have 10 take the same
course. Until an injunction Is
granted, temporary or otherwise,
the bond can be filed and trackiay-
ing uroceeded with.-StdJloas'd.
