Thursday night what threatened
to be disastrous fire in the Davis

south of Dry Creek. The dry grass

caught the plank fences, Only the

conquered them without water saved
what is known as Wise's row and

The fire company was not at the

that it was out of the fire limits. Now
as the fire was not over quarter of
mile from the Court House aad all

just why it IS not in the fire limits
is a puzzle. Where are the fire

STRIKERS ENJOINED.
The Courts Asked to Protect the
Northern Pacific.
AN EXTRAORDINARY, DOCUMENT.

The Paper Has Been Held In Allegiance for
ference, but There Could Be No Agree
ment Arrived at and 1t Was Therefore
Served Immediately.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 29.-An injunction
restraining the employees of the Northern
Pacific from striking is being served on
the leaders of the organizations of the
employees. 1t is, so far as known, the
first order of the kind ever issued in the
United States.
1t is being served by the United States
marshals of the districts through which
the Northern Pacific passes. The new
schedule of wages adopted by the re-
ceivers, which implies cut of to 10
per cent in the employees pay, was re-
jected by the employees representatives
at conference held in st. Paul with
General Manager Kendrick, and the
prospects are that on Jan. 1, when the
new schedule is to go into effect, the
$500 men employed on the road will try
to quit work.
lnlS outcome OF Cn0 controversy was
foreseen by the receivers, for as early as
Dec. 10 they applied for and obtained
from Judge Jenkins, of the United
States court, of this city, an order au-
thorizing and directing them to put into
operation the new schedule of wages
and restraining the employees and their
unions from combining and conspiring
to quit, with or without notice, the ser
vices of the road with the object 0
Gripping or embarrassing its operation,
and generally from interfering with the
officers and agents of the receivers or
their employees in any manner by actual
violence, intimidation, threats or other
wise"
This injunction was held back until
now, the receivers having expected to
arrive at an amicable agreement. 1t is
an extraordinary document. A some
what similar injunction was issued by
a United States court in Michigan dur
ing the strike of the Toledo and Ann
Arbor employees, but that injunction
was issued after the strike was in pro-
gress.
The grounds for the issuance of the
Northern Pacific injunction are set forth
in long petition Of the receivers which
was filed Dec 1S.
