behalf, it was declared that Williams
had never Willingly violated any of
the rules of the cemetery company.
That he had been employed by lot
owners for a long time, and that he
was employed by many because his
charges were reasonable. That the is
sue was one between Mr.. Dodson and
the defendant. 1t was commended that
the bylaws under which the defend
ant was stopped from working were
unreasonable and the corporation had
no power to pass them. 1t was further
contended that the corporation was
Illegally organized because the original
charter contained no provision for cap
ital stock.
The plaintiffs in the case claim that
the cemetery company, having receiv-
ed the cemetery under conditions, in
their deed, that the stockholders should
receive stock and should be members of
the corporation, and the bylaws of
the corporation allowing each stock
holder a vote, being passed prior to
the corporations receiving the deed
and the organization having been kept
up as originally kept up for thirty
four years it did not lie in the mouth
of those VINO had received benefits, ac-
cruing under the deed to the cemetery
company, to dispute the legality of its
transactions, and such stockholders
having received such benefits are estop-
ped from questioning the regularity of
the corporation.

while.
Practically two alarms at the same
time kept the fire department busy for
time yesterday afternoon. At 23O
o'clock an alarm turned in from Box
81 called the firemen to Hicks restau-
rant on Congress street, where fire
was burning between the ceiling and
the tin roof of the kitchen. The fire
was in an awkward location and the
flremen experienced some difficulty in
putting it out.
While the members of Chemical Com
pany No. / were still at work on the
Hicks restaurant fire, a telephone
alarm called them to the resident of
Mr.. Leo Mehrtens, on Liberty, between
Bull and Whitaker streets. "a kero-
sene oil stove had overturned, the
blaze filling one of the rooms and
burning a rug. From the second run
the chemical company returned to
Hicks restaurant fire and worked for
several minutes more before the last
spark was out. The damage at this
place was about $500.
In the fire at Mr.. Mehrtens' resi-
dence, Mrs. Mehrtens, who caught the
stove as it overturned, burned her
hands. The accident, although very
painful, is not serious and was dressed
by one of the firemen who applied a
bandage from the Red Cross box car
