temporary injunction was issued by
Judge Armstrong, in the third district

pending before the council.
The three members restrained are
Rulon S. Wells, w. ]. Luddenham
and A. s. Barnes. Wells is one of the
presidents of the seventies, and the
other two men hold minor church Of
fees. The ground on which the re-
~straining order was issued is that these
three men, by virtue of their member
ship in the Mormon church, are inter-
ested in the proposed franchise. The
church own stock in the Utah
Light & Railway Co., and the presi-
dent of the corporation, Joseph F.
Smith, is also president of the Mormon
church.
The corporation has a monopoly on
street railway transportation and cleo
trio lighting in this city. The proposed
franchise is designed to consolidate
and extend the existing franchises held
