ALTERNATIVE WRIT
 FOR TEAM DRIVERS
4 Legal Incident in the Strike in
 Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., May Con the peti- tion of a number of complainants, in- cluding the principal tranfer and de- livery companies involved in the team sters' strike. Judge Munger if the fed eral court tonight granted a temporary restraining order enjoining the officers of the Team Drivers union, together with all members of the union, from doing certain acts interfering with in terstate commerce and commanding them to appear in court May 20th to show cause why a permanent injunc- tion should not be granted.
 The petition was filed by the attor- neys representing seven delivery com panies, five coal dealers. one lumber company. one jobber and a department store. In their petition the complain ants recite the terms of the contract the Team Drivers union asked them to sign and their particular objection to that clause therein which provided that no teamster should be discharged. laid off or doct5ed in his time or pay for re- fusing to haul goods to or from any house. for a firm, corporation or con tractor declared to be unfair by the labor unions. and then goes on to re- late particular instances in which by threats, intimidation and violence the strikers have interfered with their law full business.
 It is alleged that a threat was made by one of the strikers that if Walter Jardin undertook to do business with non-union drivers he would be assault ed and killed. It is further alleged that interstate commerce was interfered with when strikers stopped goods in transit from Omaha to Council Bluffs and from one station to another in Omaha. The order issued by Judge Munger is of a most sweeping nature More than 300 members of the unions are named in the order.
 The action of the court practically takes the strike out of the hands of the local and state authorities. and a violation of the order, it is belle ed will result in the calling out of federal troops if necessary to preserve peace and enforce the order of the court.
 Large crowds of strikers have gath cred in different parts of the city dur ing the day. The entire police force is doing double duty. but no violation has been reported during the day and no arrests have been made. Forty horse shoers were locked out during the day because they refused to shoe horses of firms whose drivers are now on strike. About fifty freight package handlers went on strike in obedience to an order issued by their president. Fifty team sters in the employ of ice companies are ordered out tomorrow.
 The Standard Oil company tonight notified it's city customers that the company would deliver no more oil un- til quiet is restored and the strike is over, fearing to allow its oil and gaso- line wagons to be driven on the streets while the trouble lasted. Both sides are settling down for long contest, and neither shows any signs of yield ing. It is estimated that over 5000 men are now out, and other leaders will be able to call out several hundred oth- CTS should such action become neces- sary to gain their point.

Property of the Harbor and Dock Conn
pany Sold at sheriff's Sale for $5635.
The Winthrop Harbor and Dock
Company is out of existence SO far as
its holdings in Kenosha county and
Wisconsin are concerned for all the
property owned by the company in
this state was sold at sheriff's sale at
the doors OF the court house on Satur-
day afternoon. The property was sold
to satisfy an execution issued to Mrs.
Caroline Roth of Chicago, vino alleged
that the company owed her $54o7. SIS IN
borrowed money. The rivalry for the
purchase of the property was quite
lively and it went to Samuel K. Den
mis- of Chicago who was in no ways
interested in the execution which fore
ed the sale of the property. The prop
erty sold included the seventy acres
owned by the company situated in the
town of Pleasant Prairie just over the
Illinois State line. 1t extends for
nearly quarter of mile along the
lake shore, and it is claimed to be one
of the most able pieces of property
between Chicago and Milwaukee. The
property of the company on the other
side of the state line is now in litiga-
ton, and it is possible that this 1itiga-
ton will result in the village being
wiped off the map. All Of the original
incorporators of the Dream City of
Winthrop Harbor have long since
severed their connections with the
company.

Kenosha and District Revenue Collect
or Gibbs, of Waukesha, has been kept
busy ali day issuing government IL
censes to the saloon keepers of the
city. There is little reason to believe
that the number of saloons in the city
will be decreased during the coming
year as not single one of the manag-
ers has reported his intention CT leav-
ing the business and more than half
hundred Of the shops have asked for
license for another year. In former
years there has always been one or
two of the saloons which fell by the
wayside but it is evident that the BUSH
ness in Kenosha is proving a remuner-
alive one and the saloon men are go-
ing to make money while the sun
shines. Kenosha will probably have
between ffty-fve and sixty saloons
during the coming year. The govern
ment licenses are being issued today
and the city licenses will be issued at
the next meeting of the council.
The district revenue collector is also
accepting the license money for the
saloons in other parts of the county.

YOUTH AND BEAUTY REIGN.

Annual Junior Promenade of High School
Draws Many Pleasure Seekers.
Youth and beauty met at the pref
test party ever given in Kenosha.
Monday night, when the Junior Prom
enade of the High School studentsIwas
held at Simmons's hall The Junior
party is always listed as one of the
most enjoyable features of the DAYS
about the Commencement and the
party last night was certainly no ex-
ception to the rule.
The old hall had been transformed
into veritable fairy bower for the
party. From every nook and corner
OF the room long festoons of tissue
paper had been hung forming a cam
opy of the class colors of red, and
green and white. ALI about the room.
the myriad strands of class colors we've
held with single rose or carnation.
The musicians stand was completely
hidden under wealth of palms and
potted plants and in the corners of the
room palms and flowers had been so
arranged as to form charming little
bower for the weary dancers.
The crowd was the most noteworthy
one that ever attended dancing party
in Kenosha. Fully hundred and fifty
couples were in attendance and nearly
all of them were young people. Most
Of them were school boys and girls but
quite number of the alumni of other
years were so fortunate as to secure a
place in the jolly little company. The
parents of the children were also we'll
represented and chaperones were Num-
erous.
The members of the retiring Junior
class entertained lavishly and the
members of the class in charge of the
party saw that not single moment
was lost in bringing some new pleas
ure for the Seniors, who we're the
guests of honor.
Dancing was the feature of the even
ing, the music for the dance being
furnished by Stemm Brothers full
orchestra. The music was as good as
any ever heard in Simmons Hall, aud
nearly every dance was encored. Extra
dances were always the rule rather
than the exception. During the inter
mission members of the class enter
tanned the guests.
At eleven o'clock dinner was served
in the balconyssby Kupfer. The buffet
lunch was served from a table bril-
1iautly decorated with the colors of the
class set in flowers and trailing vines.
After supper was over the dancing
began again and it was long after two
O'Clock when the sweet strains of
''Home Sweet Home" brought the
party to an end and the young ladies
and gentlemen babe adieu to their
school life.
The party was fitting close for the
commencement exercises, and the
Juniors are deserving Of a great deal
of praise for the great success of this
their first social function.

Locomotive.


Locomotive.
The largest locomotive that ever
passed through Kenosha was the one
drawing the north bound passenger
train at 6:18 o'clock Saturday evening.
1t is one of the five new passenger loco
motives recently purchased by the
Chicago, Minneapolis and Omaha road
for its heavy passenger traffic from
Chicago to St. Paul, and was borrowed
by the Northwestern for experimental
purposes. If it proves satisfactory, the
Northwestern probably will purchase
a number of the same pattern. The
machine is seventy feet long on the
tracks, weight 118 tons, has six drive
wheels feet 2 inches in diameter,
flues twenty feet long, carries 200
pounds of steam pressure, and is capa-
BILE of pulling train of eleven cars at
the rate of seventy-fve TO eighty miles
an hour. On the eighty-fve mile run
from Chicago the engine consumed
five tons of coal and over {, 1000 gallons
of water.
