TO STOP THE FENCE
Pavilion Owners at Minnehaha Seek
\, to Enjoin the Railroad
Company.
Construction Has Begun and They
Want to Preserve Their
4 Business.

merry war Is on between the resi-
dents Of Minnehaha and the owners Of the
unsightly pavilions ranged along the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul right OF way
in front Of the main entrance to the park.
The struggle has been carried on before
the city council, the park board and has
at last found It's way into the courts.
Judge Brooks has granted restraining
order returnable tomorrow morning, en-
joining the railway company from erect
ing fence in front of the paviions,
which would cut off all front door access
to them.
Henry S. Mead again appears as at
torney for the Gardeners and has charge
Of the application for an injunction. The
grounds on which the injunction IS asked
that the high fence being erected by
the railway company is on the Gardner
property instead of on the railroad right
Of way and Furthermore 1t is alleged that
it obstructs a public highway.
The evident intention of the pavilion
owners is to gain time until the summer
Is well advanced and they have taken
their profits from the immense crowds
which now frequent their resorts. Mr..
Mead asked that the restraining order be
made returnable some time in July.
Judge Brooks could not look at the mat
ter IN that light however, and fixed the
time for hearing tomorrow morning,
when the matter will be decided.
The residents Of Minnehaha park are
very much interested in the outcome as
1t will directly affect them and their
property. The row Of pavilions, with the
Coney Island methods employed, has for
several years been most annoying to
property owners and visitors in the dis
trict. Some time ago a determined effort
was made by the residents to do away
with the pavilions. The park board was
appealed to and asked to condemn and
purchase the property on which the re-
sorts stand. The matter was thoroly dis
cussed and the property designated but
on account Of lack of funds the pro-
ceedings stopped at this point Later 1t
was decided to build the park refectory in
the hope that it would make the pavilion
business Improbable and at the same
time the railroad company was persuaded
TO promise to erect high fence along its
right Of way which would materially hurt
the business of these places or at least
hide them from public view.
The railroad company has been deliber-
ate about fulfilling this promise, but at
last has commenced the work, having set
part OF the posts for the fence. Now
come the pavilion owners with their tale
OF woe and the matter will have to be
decided by the court.

Both the Missouri and the Kaw rivers fell

condition of the soil. it is very doubtful il
any profit will be drawn during the remain
