Carr would have been relieved of his
position at the postal station in Engle-

contest the right of Postmaster Gordon
to remove him. AS it is Mr.. Carr will
get restraining order service on the
postmaster to-day before the transfer
can be made. The order was granted
by Judge Jenkins, of the federal bench
at Milwaukee, last evening. Carr
claims that the order of President Nc
Kinley of June 81, forbidding removals
from civil service offices without for.
NAL charges and trial before competent
authorities, covers not only removals
from the service but removals from a
higher to lower position in the serv-
ice.
Carr has been superintendent of the
station at Englewood since the en-
largement of the Chicago post Office
and prior thereto he was postmaster at
Englewood. He claims his Office is one

rode eight or ten miles to see that, il she
were still alive, nothing was spared that
might contribute 20 her recovery. The
grandmother was so delighted at his re-

ness that she asked him to perform the
Office of godfather. His staff suggested
the name of Shell-Anna, which was ac-

then performed and the child was

unusual situations that develop from
the unique plot. Three union soldiers,

thaw was followed by a light rain,
which froze as it fell, and developed into
regular ice storm during the night.
When the three soldiers looked out on
the morning of the nineteenth they
