this rule. The only averments in the
templated injury to its rights are that
the defendant claims that it has the
exclusive privilege to use the streets
etc., to the exclusion of the plaintiff;
and that the plaintiff "fears and be-
lieves" that the defendant will tear
up and destroy and ruin the service
and irjure the business of said plain
tiff and will dig up and cross and go
over the mains of the plaintiff" and
that "said plaintiff will be subjected
to numerous suits for failing to rem
der to its many patrons the service
which it has contracted to perform.
Undoubtedly, the plaintiff may obtain
an Injunction when necessary, to re-
strain the defendant from injuring its
mains or pipes or other properties. so
as to interfere with the conduct of its
business: but, before the defendant
can be subjected to the expense and
vexation of a law suit, it must be
shown that il is threatening or pre-
pairing to perpetrate some wrong. In
junction cannot be obtained on the
visionary basis of fears or beliefs. 1t
is only actual unlawful purposes,
made evident by acts or declarations,
that furnish a valid foundation for the
interposltion of the strong arm of the
law by injunction. No act or declar-
alton of the defendant is shown indi-
eating a purpose to injure plaintiffs
property. 1t is not even contended in
argument that any real injury to the
plaintiffs pipes had been done or was
threatened. On the contrary, affi-
davits contained in the case made
(which however, are of course, not to
be considered on this demurrer as af-
fecting our decision) show that the
defendant has not injured the plain
tiff's pipes or mains at all. We men,
ton this only because it seems evil
dent that the main and really the
only substantial purpose Ofthe plain
tiff in this case is to prevent tie de-
PENDANT from competing. with it in
supplying gas to the people of Coffey-
vile, and that no wrong will be done
by a strict construction of the Ian
guage employed in the petition. AS
to the allegation ola claim of eXclu-
sive right, courts do not interfere by
injunction to restrain unfOunded
claims.

THE COFFEYvILLE GAS CASE.

Some years ago a franchise was
granted the Cofeyville Mining and
Gas Company, by the City of Coffey-
vile, to use the streets and public
grounds of said city for the purpose of
laying its mains and pipes to furnish
and distribute natural gas for heating
and lighting for term of q years.
Last year the city of Cofeyville
granted similar franchise to another
company, the Citizens Natural Gas
and Mining Company. WhereuPon
the former company brought suit to
enjoin the latter company from exer-
cising its franchise, claiming to have
exclusive privilege under its franchise.
The case went before the Supreme
Court of the State and the injunction
was dissolved. The opinion by which
this conclusion was reached is of con-
siderable interest and at the request
of q number of citizens we reproduce
herewith the important psrts of it:
The main scope and purpose of the
plaintiffs action plainly is to prevent
the defendant from laying mains and
pipes in the streets of the city of COT
feyville for the purpose Of supplying
natural gas. In other words, it is to
maintain a monopoly of its business.
1t seeks to test the validity of two city
ordinances granting the defendant
company the use of the streets, etc..
and to restrain the defendant from
using the privilege granted. For
these purposes the plaintiff clearly
has no standing in court. The city
authorities are charged with the duty
of preventing encroachments on the
streets and public grounds. The
proper public officers alone can
lest the validity of the ordinances
under which the defendant claims.
The city did not in terms attempt to
give the plaintiff company right to
the exclusive use of the streets and
alleys for the purpose OF laying its
pipes. If it had attempted to do so,
it could not, Tor want of power. A
private person or corporation will not
De recognized in court of justice as
the guardian of purely public inter-
ests, nor to further its private ends by
assuming that character. 1t is APP
parent then that the plaintiff has no
standing in court to litigate the prin-
cipal questions it seeks to present.
1t can neither test the validity of the
ordinances under which the defend
ants claim a right 10 act, nor could
ii, if no ordinances had been passed,
try the right of the defendant to lay
pipes in the streets for the purpose
of supplying natural gas.
1t only remains to be considered
whether there are such averments in
the petition as show threatened in
reference with the private rights of
the plaintiff. 1t is alleged that the
defendants have in divers places,
where they have crossed the mains
of the plaintiff, destroyed and iDjur-
ed its pipes aud mains; but it is not
alleged that the defendants are pre-
pairing, threatening, or about to do
any further injury TO the PLAINTIFF
property. The rule is well settled
that on a demurrer the averments of
the pleading demurred TO are to be
construed against the pIeader.
Nothing is to be Inferred. Under our
system of practice, which is so liberal
in the allowance of amendments, no
harm can come from adherence to
