Mrs. Patrick Egan Gets Lawyers to
Read 1t.
Mrs. Patrick Eagan, of this city, has,
through her attorneys, STAGE & Qunsey,
commenced proceedings in the Ottawa
circuit court to quiet title 10 fifty acres
of land situated in the vicinity of Ber-
lin. The history of the case IS that the
mother of Patrick Eagan, who is a resi-
dent of Ireland. conveyed the property
to him in 1877 and he held peaceable
possession of the same until the time of
his death in 1887. The plaintiff then
beng unable to oconduct the farm herself
rented 1t to one Arlington Wells. who
has since been in possession. James
Eagan, brother OF the deceased, con-
celved the idea that the conveyance
made by his mother was not legally
drawn and began proceedings to oust
the tenant. Last Monday he took fore
ible possession of the premises and be-
gan 10 plow, preparatory TO putting in
fall crop. An injunction was issued
from the 'itawa circuit court OH July
80 RESTRAIN, ..g him from further pro-
ceedings. Che writ was served on the
defendant bout o'clock on the day
of its ssss zee, and few hours later
four laire sacks of wheat that had
been put by Mr.. Wells. the tenant,
were burL ! 10 the ground. The ire
is believed % he of incendiary origin
and the ma ,r is being thoroughly ln-
vestigated.

that those streets have been set apart

pended large sums OF money IN max.

dences are now worth msny thousands
ct dollars. The streets are the most
pleasant diving streets IN the city and
Madison-ave. - one of tho few remain
ing thoroughtsres leading into the city
rot occupied by street car lines. The
streets have been improved 10y laying
permanent walks and setting shade
trees, and the street cannot be widencd
without destroying these trees or re-
moving the stone walks that have been
laid. This would result IN depreciating
the value OF residence property To "A
great extent. Ii Is stated that the COM
psny was organized for the purpose OF
building a railroad III Paris township
with a capital stock of 500 900. and that
the sum OF 5000 had been subscribed IN
good faith, but 500 of this however,
has been pald IN. IL is alleged that the
stockholders are owners OF land at the
southern terminus of the road and
that the laying of this road is at
tempted for the purpose OF enhancing
the value of their land. The manner
IN which the ordinance was passed by
the city council is referrec TO. stating
that the passage was brought about by
Mayor Chl, VINO Is president OF the
railway company. If the road is built
only one foot will be left on either side
of double track III Madison-ave., five
feet III Westinghouse. and three feet
III Lafayette-st. This would not give
room sufficient for carriages to pass
each other aud ears at the same time.
The property owners have received no
compensation for the damage that will
accrue to them by the laying of the
track and the prospect is dubious for
any redress from the company. 1t is
believed by the petitioners that the
road is designed to be constructed by
foreign capital procured by mortgages
and that the company's treasury is now
empty, that the purpose of the road 10
for private gam, and that the company
intends to begin operations towards
laying the track Immediately. Many
residents have telephone and electric
light wires leading to their homes and
the danger of the traverse wires of The
road coming IN contact with them, will
be a cause of hindering the sale of
residence property. Judge Adsit issued
a restraining order, yesterday, until the
case is brought before the court for q
hearing.
