THE FIGHT Is NOW ON
M. R. &. K. ELECTRIC CO. BRING
MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS.
CITY NAMED AS DEFENDANT.
The Racine Company File Petition With
Judge Fish Asking That the Clerk of
Kenosha Be ordered to Publish Or
dinance or Cause for Not so Doing
(From Fridays Dally.)

The diplomatic relations between the
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha Elec
trio Railway company and the City of
Kenosha are now a thing of the past
and the idle chickering's which have
disguised the people and the company
for the past three years are to be laid
aside and the Courts of the county will
be asked to settle all the differences
existing between the company and the
city and it's representatives on the
Common Council.
The first break in the fight which
promises to be long one was made
this morning when the attorneys for
the Electric Railroad company ap-
peared before Judge Fish in the circuit
court at Racine and presented a petit
ton and an application for an alterna
tive of mandamus to compel the City
of Kenosha to publish the ordinance
and franchise recently granted to the
company by the city council, or to show
cause for any contrary action. The
petition for the writ of mandamus is
signed by Miller, Noyse, Miller and
VAIL and Thomas M. Kearney as the
representatives of the company. The
petition sets fourth atlength the grant
ing of the franchise by the common
council and the acceptance of the same
by the officials of the M. r. & K. COM
pany. 1t alleges generally that the
city clerk refuses to order published
the ordinance and franchise adopted by
the council and asks that the clerk be
ordered to have the franchise published
at once. No action was taken on the
petition byNJudge Fish today more
than to set the time for hearing of
the matter which was during the ses-
sion of the June term of the circuit
court in this city.
The attorneys who had filed the Pc
tition were seen after the session of the
court but they stated that they were
not able to give any further informa-
tion in regard to the petition or as to
the probable other legal questions
which would come up in the settlement
of the troubles between the city and
the company.
When T. Nj. KearneY was seen he
said that the facts were just these: The
NJ. R. and K. company have been
granted a franchise through the city of
Kenosha and they are only seeking to
have their rights given them in order
that they may make use Of the fran
cbise.
Several representatives of the local
bar were seen this afternoon but none
of them cared to express az opinion on
the action of the company in bringing
these mandamus proceedings against
the city.
The action of the company will open
the question and the people will soon
be able to discover the exact status of
the ordinance and franchise for which
such an extended fight has been made.
The papers in the action were served
upon City Clerk Jacob at half past two
this afternoon.

VICTIM OF THE BICYCLE.
Landlord Graves Falls From a Wheel and
sustatns Fracture of the Hip.

Landlord Graves Falls From Wheel and
sustains a Fracture of the Hip.
L. D. Graves, the genial proprietor
of the Grant House, is laid up in bed as
the result of his attempting to ride a
bicycle unassisted. After supper Fri
day evening Mr.. Graves had an ap-
pointment with one of his friends who
had promised to teach him the many
funny ways of the bicycle. The friend
failed to arrive on time and Mr.. Graves
decided to try the wheel alone. He had
only made feeble attempt at riding
when he took header and was thrown
violently from the wheel to the street
just south of the hotel. He was badly
injured and as soon as possible he was
removed to his room in the hotel. An
examination of his injuries by the
doctors revealed the fact that the left
leg had been broken at the thigh. Mr..
Graves suffered intense pain and as
soon as possible the broken bone was
dressed and set by DR.. Pugh, assisted
by DR.. Lansdowne. Mr.. Graves is
resting as easy as could be expected
under the circumstances, but it will be
several weeks before he will be able to
leave his room.

H1NDERHoLFz rs BOUND OVER
Must Answer for His Crime in the Circuit.
Court-He is Released on Bail.

Nicholas HinderhOltz, who was ar
rested LAST Tuesday evening on a.
charge of attempting to commit a.
criminal assault on Jennie DeBooy, was
arraignod before Justice Slater Friday
afternoon for a preliminary hearing
and after the examination of a number
OF witnesses the defendant was bound
over to await the action of the Circuit
Court at the September term. The
bail was placed at 81 900 and it was
Immediately furnished by friends of the
defendant and he was released.
The prosecution made strong case
against Hinderholtz, the principal
witnesses being the child who made the
complaint and her mother. The child
was on the stand for over an hour and
she told practically the same story that
she had told to the police when she
asked for the arrest of the defendant
Attorney Fisher, who represented
the defendant, did not make any effort
to make defense at the time, but
made an effort to have the bail required
reduced. This the Justice refused to
do and the bail was left the same as it
bad been before the examination.

HAS A GOOD CASE.
Attorney Bohmerich Thinks That the City
Will Defeat the Railway Company.

Attorney Bohmerich Thinks That the City
Will Defeat the Railway Company.
The legal muddle between the city
council and the NJ. R. & K. company
has been a favorite topic of converse
ton on the streets today and consider
able interest has been taken in the
speculations> as to how the case will be
managed by the city. City Attorney
Bohmrich was seen at his Office this
afternoon but said that he had as yet
given the matter little thought and he
was unwilling to give opinion on the
mandamus proceedings begun by the
company yesterday In the interview
he sad, I" So far [ have received DO
particular instructions from the council
but do believe that if the council still
intends to defeat the pretended Ordi-
nance, that the outcome can be eX-
pected with as much success as
any other successful termination
can expected in litigation
between a city and a similar corpora
ton. On the whole l think the city
has a favorable chance of winning in
the action brought by the company"
Mr. Bohmrich refused to say any
thing concerning the points made in
the complaint of the company and also
refused to say anything in regard to
the course of defence to be adopted by
the city. 1t is reported in connection
with the case that several of the most
prominent lawyers of the city have been
retained by the company in order that
they may better handle their case in
this city.
The legal representative of the city
comedies that the company have made
several strong points against the city
and cites as one of these the allegation
of the company as expressed in the re-
ceipt given by the city clerk to the
representative of the company in &C
cepting the check for $1,000. This
receipt will prove to be one of the
strongest points in favor of the com
pany. The point made by the company
that the council of this city is not a
continuing body will also prove hard
nut to crack and it will be effective in
the declaring illegal any act of the old
Council which we're done after the new
aldermen had been elected and had
qualified. One Of the attorneys sum-
med the matter up as follows: " The
only point in question between the city
and the company is, WAS the ordi-
nance and franchise legally passed
before the adjournment of the old
| Council?
If such is held to be the fact, and it
appears very reasonable to say that it
will, the city will be forced to carry
out their side of the contract and order
the publication of the ordinance.
The City Clerk has written to the
City Attorney asking legal opinion as
to whether he shall accept the service
of the writ or not, and in reply to this
query the attorney says that it will not
make any difference, as the writ has
been served and the acceptance of
service by the Clerk is not necessary.

fact that they are fully capable to ar

Archbishop Katzer has written a
contradiction to the report that be was
one of the prelates who had written to
the pope, protesting that errors that
he designated as Americanism" had
no place in the Catholic church in this
country. The archbishop says the
statement was false so far as he is
concerned. He denies having written
to the pontiff, and he says that if he
had it would have been a letter OF

is said to be worth some ten millions OF

The action of the present Mayor in
taking no action to close the saloon on
Sunday is causing a great deal of com
ment among certain classes of people
in the city, and while no active oppo-
sition has as yet developed, a movement
toward this end is being started. This
movement will undoubtedly find a
champion in the person of Alderman
Curtis, who seems very much in favor
of having the council take some action
on the question. The aldermen say
that the matter is wholly in the hands
of the Mayor, and they have no right
to attempt to dictate any policy to him.
So far the Mayor has kept silent, and
the only thing that he has said is that
he will not give his permission for any
of the saloons to keep open Sundays.
