The officials of Takoma the 18th OF June

it is alleged, in direct violation OF the oroi-
nances of the corporation OF Iakoma DEAR
ing on this subject. An injunction was I'LL
mediately obtained from Justice Henderson
of the circuit court of Rockville against
Mayor Kinnear and the town council, pro-
hibiting their interference with the tele-
graph wires to the resort. The wires were
then repaired by the Wildwood manage
ment and the resort was opened 10 the

sioners and the wires were again piaceo

morning was taken on the advice OF the
attorney representing the town of Takoma
in the fight.
The mayor and council recently appealed
from the action of Judge Henderson at
Rockville to the court of appeals at An
napolis Md. The appeal was granted by
the court which placed the WILDWOOD case
again in the hands of the officials OF Iako-
ma, leaving them in the same position as
they were previous to the first cutting OF
the wires. According to the opinion OF
counsel the Takoma authorities were at
liberty to cut the wires without being In
contempt Of court.
Mayor Kinnear, with the assistance OF
the town council Is determined 10 close the
resort, in which he is receiving the nearly
co-operation Of the residents of Takoma
