War on NIanawa renee.

Property owners at Manawa are renewing
their efforts to compel the motor company
to remove that portion OF the high board
fence inolosing their grounds which shuts
on the public thoroughfare known as Third
street. Chrisman a. Robards last year
brought suit in their names and those OF
other property owners at the lake against
the motor company and Judge Scott OF the
superior court ordered the fence be taken
down. The motor company. however, se-
cured from Judge Deemer a supersedeas
restraining Judge Scott from carrying into
effect this order. All efforts to compel the
motor company to open the fence on Third
street last year failed, but counsel for the
plaintiffs has filed with the supreme court
a motion TO set aside the supersedeas and a
hearing on 1t will be had in Des Moines
today.
There is also talk OF applying to the
courts TO have the action of the Board Of
County Supervisors in vacating the county
road in front of the lake set aside. AS mat
ters are now all public approaches to the
lake front have been shut or by the motor
company. The records show that the land
for the road around the lake front was pur-
chased by the county, the cost being paid
by the taxpayers at large large saloon
building now occupies part of what was
formerly a public highway.
