EARLY DECISION is EXPECTED
In Injunction Case Now Before Judge
Littleiohn.

Judge Littlejohn has not yet render
ep decision in the Injunction proceed
ings brought by the Police Commission
against the City Council of Americus,
restraining that body from anywise in
terfering with the police force.
However, an early decision may
reasonably be expected.
Judge Littleiohn is giving the case
very careful consideration, and investi-
eating closely the many authorities
cited in the Injunction proceedings on
Saturday last
One point strongly relied upon by
the City Council is the contention that
this case is not one to be determined by
a court of equity. Should this be true
the proceedings will come to a close
here, and the case will at once go to the
supreme court.
The next term of this court cow 9nes
March 8tb, and it is quite likely that
this celebrated case will soon be finally
settled.

SHAKE UP In CREWS
Change in Burlington Time Gard
Beneficial to Train Men.
TRAINS ARE RUNNING ON NEW CARD
Officials and Patrons of the Road
Are Pleased With the Return of the
Old servlce-change on the Rock
lsIand-Extend Cinder Pit.

The new time card on the Burling-
ton went into effect yesterday and the
trains returned to the schedule under
which they were running prior to May
of this year. No. 10 now goes
through to Creston as fast train,
stopping only at county seats, taking
the mail and express from No. 8,
which only runs to Creston, and run
ming as local from that place to Lin.
coin. No. does not run on Sunday,
SO the change on that train did not
take effect until today. No. IL
stopped at Ottumwa last night for
the first time and returned this morn
ing as No. 16. The change has made
quite a shakeup in the crews, which
in the main is beneficial to the men.
Change Is Beneficial.
Under the new schedule four pools
OF passenger crews have been insti,
tuted, with two conductors in each
pool. The runs have been arranged
so that each conductor has daylight
run one way and night run the other
and each conductor will have one fast
run and one slow one The change is
entirely satisfactory to the trainmen
with the exception of the change made
necessary owing to the difference in
the running schedule of train No. 8
The crews on this train formerly ar
rived in this city at 1920 o'clock p. m
and laid over here until $50 O'Clock
in the morning, returning to Burling
ton on No. 16. Now, however, they
leave on No. 16 in the morning and re
turn at 9:35o'clock at night On trair
| No. IL. This gives the men lay ovel
all day at Burlington and keeps then
out later at night than formerly.
Shake up In Crows.
Conductors Clark and Adams viii
go through in the morning on No
and return on No. 4 the same day, lay
ing over in Burlington the following
day Conductors Vets and Dana will
go west on train No. 10 to Creston ant
return the following day on train No
| 10. Conductors Robinson and Sullivan
will go west in the afternoon OF
No. 9 and return the same nigh
on No. II, stopping off one day il
Burlington and making the same run
the following day Conductor Cutler
will retain the same run on No. II
in the morning, but will not return
until No. IL at 9:35 o'clock p. m.
The trains running on the new tim,
give better satisfaction to the train
men and the public. The heavy trafn
on No. 10, which has always been
problem to the Burlington officials, ha
been lightened considerably, as
great portion of this traffic is carrie
by train No. 9. Taken as whole, tn
return to the former schedule is we
