BOND IS FILED
PLAINTIFFS ~ INJUNCTIoN SUR
AnE RIGHF ON TIME.

Matter Is NOW Up to Judge Faulkner,
no Nay Bender HIS Decision
Daring Court Next Week.
The plaintiffs in the injunction suit
against the citv council, who were
given until Saturday by judge Faux
ner to file their bond of 81, 200. APP
heard in the office of Clerk Gerbardt
on Friday evening and gave the nec-
essary bond, thereby setting at rest
the question whether they would file
the paper. The bondsmen are J.. /.
Mcdonald, George #. Evans. H. S.
League, J.. b. Minghini, John d
Sutton, J. II. Lloyd, A. j.. Snyder,
d. H. Barry. NJ. W. Riordon and o.
M, Ramsey.
This puts the matter up to Judge
Faulkner ror decision, and it is pre-
sumed that he will take the case mp
and settle it at the coming term of
the Circuit court, which meets on
Tuesday next. While, of course.
there has been no intimation OF how
the case would be decided, there. is a
growing belief among many people
who have closely followed the course
of the litiagtion that the injunction
will be decided in favor of the plain
tiffs. and nowhere is this belief
stronger than among those who are
favorable to the proposition OF the
Standard Lime aud Stone Go. for the
purchase of the city's riparian rights.
While all efforts to anticipate a
verdict are mere speculation, it is de-
clared by those who are handling the
councils side of the case that in the
event the injunction is made per-
maneDt, it will be promptly taken to
the supreme court of appeals in an
effort to secure a reversal OF the lower
courts decision. Just what the
plaintiffs in the suit will do in the
event the injunction is Dissolved can
not be learned.
So far the attorneys fees and court
costs amount to about $500, and the
| side that finally loses will be com
PEELED to pay this, with a chance that
the costs will amount to considerable
more than this before the case is
finally settled.
The term of the Circuit court will
commence on Tuesday morning. when
the grand jury will be called. The
petit jury will be called on Wednes'
day. The term is not expected to be
either long or important, aud few
cases of any great interest will come
up for trial.

that l set right the many inaccurate
stories relating to my coming to this

tons to theosophy, ETC., / make this
statement once for all.

drawing from the struggles Of bus

In graduating from LIES long school

able, if not desirable.

because the climate Is most agree
able; because it is just outside the

here one can lead the the simple life.
Beyond these reasons there are two
institutions here which to me
Lend Much interest to the Place.
The first is the United States military
reservation, with its fine system of
harbor defenses, its companies of ar
tillerymen, etc. The second is the
Raja Yoga school for children and
youths OF all ages.
This school was established and
Is being carried On by Katherine Ting
ley, as leader and official head of the
Universal Brotherhood and Theosoph-
ical society throughout the world. The
school excites my interest and the
magnificent work it is doing in the
development OF clean, healthy, we'll
educated and self-controlled young
lives stimulates my hope for the flu
ture of the society.
II am not affiliated except in this
friendly way either with the military
station or the theosophical society. L
am too old to enlist in the army and
have not yet been invited to join the
theosophists. l would consider it hon
orable to. be related to either of them
