Hearing Set for December ~. Judge Reseots
Prejudicial Talk INDUCED in
by the People.
Once more the now famous iniunc-
ton case of the Ft. Dodge s. Omaha
iR'y VS.. the Boyer Valley R'y Co. has
been continued. The date set for hear
ing is December 9th, and the condem-
nation proceedings against block 10 will
also be postponed until the first week
in January.
The court room was we'll filled this
morning with anexpectant crowd when
the railway injunction case was called.
On Monday the Fit Dodge & Omaha
filed an amendment to their petition,
stating that propositions for compro-
mise offered by them had been rejected
and further accusing the Boyer Valley
Co. with fraudulent intent. On the
ground that this amendment brought
up new issues which the defendant was
unprepared to meet, Mr.. Hubbard filed
a motion for continuance. This motion
was argued by Judge j. F. Duncombe
and Judge j. P. Conner for the plant
if, and by N. Nj. Hubbard Jr. for the
defendant. Mr.. Hubbard fled sup
Elemental statement that he was at
that time physically unfit to proceed
with the trial of the cause as he had
high fever and was otherwise too i'll to
do the matter justice. On this repre-
sentation Judge Church continued the
hearing until Dec. %. In announcing
his decision the Judge took occasion to
censure some of the people of Denison
for talking with him concerning the
merits of the case. While stating that he
thought this probably due to inadvert-
ance still it annoyed him greatly. Our
people would do we'll to avoid such con-
versation in future. Denison's interests
will be best subserved by an amicable
arrangement between the roads, and
our people should not take sides in the
controversy.
One thing is settled by the facts ad.
mitted this morning, and that is that
the main shipping and freight depots Of
both roads will be in West Denison.
