choice article and served a select family
trade in this city at 90 cents per pound
few years later he sold his butter to F. ].

amounted to 80 cents. and the deliveries
were made by one of the boys who is
now q member of the firm.
The business, which grew and prospered
from the start, continues to grow. In 1886.
having already outgrown it's old quarters,
lot was purchased at 2016 18th street
northwest, and the new Belmont Dairy
was built. Now again the ever-expanding
business calls for more floor space.
In 1896 it took about 100000 gallons OF
milk to furnish the trade that had been
built up in three years. In this Star

Was OF Short Duration.
ACTING WITHIN IT'S CHARTER
Nothing in Case Presented to In
dicate That an Attempt Was
Being Made to Form Con-

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. sl-Judge
William Lochren Of the United States
circuit court. today dissolved the tenn
porary injunction issued in the case Of
Peter Power against the Northern Pa
cihc Railway Company by Judge Ell
lott, OF the district court OF Henne-
pin county Monday. The injunction
which was dissolved by order Of Judge
Lochren restrained the Northern Pa
cifc from issuing any evidences Of In
debtedness to retire the preferred stock
Of the company or 70 retire preferred
stock in any other manner than by
use Of the surplus net earnings OF

ern Pacific and its officers from en-
tering into any agreement, ordering
any act BY which the road would be
consolidated or merged, through the
medium Of the Northern Securities
Company, with the Great Northern or
Burlington or either Of them. After
the decision was made orally by Judge
LOchren an effort was made by. the

fix the amount OF bond which would
be required in order to appeal from
the decision and to stay all further
proceedings in the lower court pending
an appeal Judge LOchren refused to
allow a supersedeas bond in any
amount to be given. Judge Lochren
held that the Northern Pacific was
acting within the authority OF its
charter or contract entered into be-
tween it and its stockholders as In
corporated in the certificates Of pre-
ferred stock and Of the agreement en-
tered into November l3 in attempting
10 retire SIS, ,OOO,O 900 Of preferred stock
in the manner alleged by Power. He
also held that railroad corporations
could not do indirectly what the law
prevented them from doing directly,
and that any method by which a con-
soldation Of two or more competing
parallel lines would be brought about
would he Illegal and a writ Of inJunc-
tion would be to restrain consumma-
tion OF the plan, but that there was
nothing in the case as presented to
him that would indicate that the
stockholders OF the Northern Pacific
Railway Company were attempting
such consolidation or merger.
