WEST SIDE LAND FIGHT.
Northern Pacific Secures an Iniuno-
ton Against the City Of
H1sna.
The Mayor Threatened to Tear
Down the Fence In
Places.
The Northwestern Guaranty Loan Com
pany Asking 10 Have tho Steam
Motor Line Sold.

The latest move in tho land fight on the
west side between tho Northern Pacific and
9. w. Cannon was the issuing of an In
junction against the city of Helena. The
city's connection with the controversy
arises out of Mayor Kleinschmidt's action
ON Sunday in ordering the railroad men to
leaye the streets and alleys open on the
ground, which has been plated and the use
of the t~horoughfares dedicated to the pub
lie by Mr.. Cannon. Hauser boulevard
and the steam motor line were left open
when the fence WAS built early Sunday
morning but the other ~thoroughfares were
closed by the construction of the fence.
The railroad attorneys obtained an injunc-
ton yesterday and had it served ON the CITY
authorities. In their petition for the iniunc-
ton they say that the company which is the
plaintiff is the owner in fee simple of the
northwest quarter of section twenty-five,
ten north of range four west. That the
city of Helena threatens and is about to lay
out, locate and open streets and alleys over
and across the land against the will and
without the consent of the plaintiff, and
without any proceeding having been mi
tiated or taken to condemn and appropriate
the land and without any compensation
having been paid therefor. That the land
ia on a side hill, is rolling, and somewhat
broken in character, and that to lay out
and open streets and alleys will necessitate
n require large excavations and fills
whereby the surface of the land will be cut
up and broken and said freehold will there
by be destroyed. That on May 10 the mayor
of the city and Marshal Sims entered
upon the land without the consent
of the plaintiff and ordered and directed
plaintiffs employees in possession of said
land to tear down the fence on the land at
such points where the city desired to lay
out and open streets and alleys; and that
the mayor and marshal threatened that
they would destroy and remove the fence,
and if plaintiff interfered with said de-
agents of the plaintiff to be arrested and
imprisoned. That tho points where the
mayor and marshal threatened to tear dow
the fence and open streets and alleys num-
Der tifty-fve; that such points are now
covered by a substantial fence and that the
land is in the peaceful possession
OF the plaintiff; and that if the
destroyed the enclosure of plaintiffs land
will be broken at a number of places as to
result in the land being entirely thrown
open to the commons, and practically I'M
enclosed. That the city of Helena ia large
ly indebted In the sum of $350,00O and has
no money in its treasury applicable to pay
any claim of plaintiff against the city or to
satisfy any judgment that the plaintiff may
recover. That the taxes collected in the
city are applicable by law to the payment of
necessary and current expenses and inter
est on warrants and the bonded indebted
ness, and that the city is insolvent and un-
able to respond in damages.

They Knew Him.

The visitor from Hawcreek had been
invited to address the Sunday-school.
q am reminded, children" he said,
"of the career Of a boy who was once
no larger than some of the little fel-
lows see here before me. He played
truant when be was sent to school,
went fishing every Sunday, ran away
from home before he was ten years
old, learned to drink, smoke, chew
tobacco, play cards, and slip in under
the canvas when the circus came
around. He went into bad company,
frequented livery stables and bar
rooms, finally became pick-pocket,
then forger, then horse-thief, and
one day, in fit of drunken mad
ness, he committed a cowardly muir
der. Children" he continued, impress
sively, "where do you think that boy
is now?"
"He stands before us!' guessed the
children, with one voice.

The great duty of the hour is'the

TNe,o York Heruld.l
The NegrU.

Dr.. Parkhurst went to Nashville
for visit and came away asking why
there are no blacks in the Tennessee
Legislature.
The editor OF the Christian Aduocate
replies in true Yankee style, saying
he will enliehten DR.. Parkhurst on
this point provided he will first tell
US why there is no negro in President
Harrison's Cabinet"
There is a good deal of twaddle on
this negro question. Some people,
who have sentiment, think the black
man ought to have Office because he
is black. Others, who have prejudice,
think he ought not to have office for
the same reason. But neither senti-
meut nor prejudice should have any
influence in our attitude toward the
colored people.
The voters Of Tennessee, white and
black, could send a negro to the Leg
islature if they wanted to. If they
don't want to that is their business
and not ours. President Harrison
was at liberty to choose a cabinet Of
fcer from the colored race, but he
didn't choose to do so, and that ends
it. He thought that on the whole it
wasn't the best thing to do, and as he
was elected to do the best thing he
could it is nobody's affair that he pre-
ferred Blaine, Window, Tracy, and
the rest.
The negro has his chance. The
laws protect and the spirit of the
times encourages him. II he has any
stuff in him it will come out by and
by. He is on par with all the rest
of US who have to roll up our sleeves
and go to work for living. We
must fight our way and why shouldn't
he? It is free race for everybody,
and the man who has the mettle,
whether he is black, white, or yellow
will take the lead. If the negro keeps
up the procession, all right; if he falls
to the rear there is no reason why the
other fellows should pay his scout out
of their hard earned dollars.
Give him fair play and after that
let him alone. That is the universal
rule, and he should be made no ex'
ception by being either crowded tc
the wall or fed on sugar plums.
