His Desk.

W. j. Black, passenger traffic man
ager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, was presented today with hand
some gold watch and chain by the
employees in the passenger department
who have served under him for many
years while he was the general pas
senger agent of the road. 1t was q.
token of their esteem for the uniform
Kindness and absolute fairness with
which they have been treated by Mr..
Black. One of Mr.. Blacks regrets in
going to Chicago to assume his new
position is the severing of the close
personal relations which have ex-
listed between him and all of the force
in the passenger department. The
employees dislike to have him go for
he is liked by all.
The watch. which is a gold hunting
case Elgin with seventeen Jewels, and
its chain, a chased link affair with a
handsome gold locket for a charm,
was placed in Mr. Blacks desk this
morning and when he opened the
desk, his surprise at finding the watch
was great. On the case of the watch
in monogram form are Mr.. Black 8
initials CIV. ]. B." and inside is en-
grayed the following inscription:

morrow, where he will remain the
rest of the week, returning here on
Saturday. On the first of next week
he will take his family to Chicago and
establish a residence there for the
winter at the Chicago Beach hotel.
James M. Cornell, who succeeds Mr..
Black as general passenger agent, ar
rived at noon today from Chicago

new position. He has not determined

ing appears in this petition TO prevent
these plaintiffs from refusing to carry
papers when they see fit or from dis
continuing the newspaper business
whenever it suits their pleasure.
AS to the Injunction.
The main purpose of the action being
for specific performance. the prayer for
injunction viii be treated as in aid Of
specific performance and ancillary
thereto.
Beach on the Modern Law OF Con-
tracts states the rule to be that: An
injunction to prevent the breach of a
contract viii often be equivalent to a
decree for its specific performance. It
follows as a matter of course, that an
should not be granted where the COM
plant does not make out a case for
specific performance.
Other questions OF minor Importance
are discussed, but as under the facts as
stated in the petition, the court is of
the opinion that plaintiffs are not en-
titled to the relief sought, the court re-
trains from expressing an opinion on the
minor points raised.
Therefore, for the reason assigned.
the demurrer to the petition will be sus-
tanned and the restraining order hereto
fore granted set aside
