houses were few and far between, and
the low lands, OF which there were thou

thirty eyars ago. Gradually the work of

Modern Brother Of America Wins in
important Injunction Suit.

Modern Brother Of America Wins in
Important Injunction Suit.
Upton, Oct. 1S.-The Modern Broth
erhood of America Is to hold special
convention at Sioux City on the ED
inst. to pass on the acts and conduct
Of its supreme secretary, A. G. Elliott.
Mr.. Elliott, 1t is claimed, has done ey-
erything in his power to prevent the
Sioux City meeting. In the latter part
of September an application was pre-
sented to Judge Thompson at Marion.
by Mr.. Elliott's attorneys, asking for
a temporary injunction to prevent the
Sioux City convention. The principal
ground on which the injunction was
asked was that the convention Of the
society held at Kansas City, Mo-, in
October, 1900, and everything done by
said convention was illegal. null and
void. After full hearing Judge
Thompson refused to grant the injunc-
ton.
An appeal from Judge Thompson's
finding was at once taken to the SUI
preme court and an application was
made to said court by Mr.. Elliott's at
torneys for a restraining order to pre-
vent the Sioux City meeting pending
the appeal. His application was fully
argued by counsel for both sides and
was submitted to the supreme court on
Tuesday Of this week. After fully con-
sidering the case and its merits the
supreme court today denied the applt-
cation for restraining order and re-
fused to interfere with the Sioux City
meeting. Messrs. Preston, Grimm and
MONT and Edred S. James. attorneys
for the society, conducted the case with
signal ability and won high praise from
all who watched the proceedings.
Messrs. Remiey, Neys and Wright 6
Wright appeared as counsel for Mr..
Elliott and did the best they could un-
der the circumstances.
Now that the highest court In the
state has passed upon all the ques-
lions raised and held against Mr.. Ell
lott it is certain that the special con-
yention will be held at Siuox City on
the 22d inst. and all the troubles OF
the society settled once for all. The
supreme court by its decision holds the
Kansas City convention and all of Its
acts and doings proper and legal and is
a knock out blow for those enemies of
the society, within and without, who
have done their best to ruin and de-
Stroy It.
