ILLINOIS CENTRAL SERVICE
Passenger Trains to Chicago and Minneapolis
to Be Put On Sunday.
FOUR THROUGH TRAINS EACH WAY DAILY
Council BIuTs-ChicnPo Schedule to

teen Hours-Good Service to
che Twin Cities.
FOUR THROUGH TRAINS EACH WAY DAHL

Although no official announcement has
been received here yet, 1t is stated that the
Illinois Central will inaugurate its new
through passenger service next Sunday. The
service, 1t is reported, will include four
trains each way except on Sundays, when
two Will be run at least both ways on that
day. The schedule for these trains is not
yet complete, but the understanding is that
the Council Bluffs Chicago schedule will be
in the neighborhood of fourteen hours, which
is about the same as the other trunk roads.
1t is said that the four eastbound trains
will be distributed about as follows: A
distinctlvely st. Paul and Minneapolis train
Will leave Omaha for a fast run to those
two cities early in the morning, probably
between the hours of 6 and Z o'clock. The
Centrals line to the twin cities is about
thirty miles shorter than that of any other
road and with it's new train that is to go on
next Sunday 1t will give, it is said, its
rivals some exceedingly close and interest
ing competition.
The other fast through train from this
city and Omaha will leave in the evening
and will be split at Fort Dodge. From there
there will be a through train to Chicago
and also one to st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The present local train, leaving here at

from Fort Dodge. There will also be an
other local train from this city to Fort
Dodge, leaving here about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, just a short time ahead of the
fast through train. There will be four trains
arriving here to correspond with the four
as outlined above, but the time of their
reaching Council Bluffs has not yet been
made public.
For the present a greater part of the St
Paul and Minneapolis equipment will be
used on the fast through train service. City

DorNGs IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
First Round in Erwin Dryers I%nJunc-
ton Suit AgnInsI the CIV.

First hOuuh IN ErNtn Dryer IntUnc-
ton Suit Against the city.
The first round in the injunction suit
brought by Erwin Dryer against the city
Of Council Bluffs and Thomas Bowman was
fought out in the district court yesterday
when Judge Thornell heard the arguments
on the demurrer and motion to strike filed
by the city.
The city demurred to Dryers petition on
the ground that he was not a citizen or
taxpayer of Council Bluffs and that the facts
contained in his petition did not entitle
him to the relief asked. The city was rep
resented by S. b.. W%adsworth, city solicitor,
and John p, Organ, who appeared for Bow
man, while Dryers side of the case was
argued by Harle e. McCabe.
With regard to Forrest Smiths petition
of intervention, Judge Thornell held that
the question of the rights of the intervenor
did not properly come under the points
raised in the demurrer to the original pc
tition. This ruling will have the effect, in
the event of the court sustaining the de-
murrer, of knocking the petition of inter-
vention out of court, as there will be moth
ing left for him to intervene in. The only
recourse left to Smith then would be to
bring a new injunction suit in his own
name against the city.
Friends of Thomas Bowman, the success
full bidder for the lighting contract, claim
that the action of Dryer in bringing the
injunction suit is to simply gain delay in
hopes that the matter may be put off until
after the spring election, when a new city
council might rescind the action of the pres
ent body. 1t was said yesterday that in
the event of Judge Thornell sustaining the
city's demurrer an appeal would be taken
to the supreme court.
The plaintiffs in the suit of Lulu Ran
dali and other heirs of the late Mrs. Sarah
j. Ballard against the Woman's Christian
association filed a motion yesterday for a
continuance, on the ground of being unable
to secure certain important testimony at
this term of court. The plaintiffs claim
that Frances Keebaugh, who attended Mrs.
Ballard for some time previous to her
death, would testify that she was of I'M
| sound mind at the time she made the be-
quest to the Woman's Christian association
OF the property on First avenue and other
lots in the city. Miss Keebaugh. after Mrs.
Billiards. death, went to reside with rela-
tives in Fremont county, but recently left
for the east, where her present address is
not known. The plaintiffs say they have
reason to believe that Miss Keebaugh will
shortly return to the state and her evidence
can then be had. AS another ground for
the continuance Of the plaintiffs claim they
wish to secure the dispositions of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. d. S%angster of Iowa City, as their
testimony is of vital Importance to their
interests.
Following the arguments in the Dryer
Injunction suit against the city, Judge Thor
nell took up the hearing in the matter OF
the estate of the late w. Siedentopf and
the management of the property by the
former administrator William F. Siedentopf.
Mrs. Amanda Meyer was granted a .di-
vorce from Heinrich Meyer and the custody
