well are having merry contest over

tremetieS dangled in the hole. Mr..
Maxwell labored like a Turk for three
hours in throwing dirt in another hole
as fast as the men threw it out. DR..
Bartlett and his hired man used SINH
lar tactics and the telephone people
finally abandoned the work in despair.
In the afternoon the company and
j. o. Clark. II. j. Crowley, Charles
Woodward, Charles Heater, Burt
Crawford, Frank Calvert and others
were served with notice of in
functions granted by Judge Mason at
Fairmont upon the application Of DIR.

them from erecting poles and main
tanning telephone lines at that point
until the further order of the court.
The injunctlons are based on several
averments; among which is that OF
public nuisance, nullity of the fran
chise, injury to the properties and
impeding public travel.
