STILL FIGHTS
FISH DOES
f. H, HARTMAN

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE struggle
of Edward II. Hartman to prevent
the control of the Illinois Central
railroad passing back into the hands
of Stuyyesant Fish became battle
of affidavits today in the superior
court.
In the effort of the Hartman inter-
ests to have dissolved the injunction
which restraints the voting of 2S1,-
231 shares of Illinois Central stock,
half a dozen dispositions made by Of
ticers and directors of the Illinois
Central, the Union Pacific and the
Railroad Securities company, all
bristling with charges and counter
charges against Mr.. Fish. were intro
duced in evidence.
They placed before the court for
the first time many of the charges
contained in circulars distributed to
stockholders by the Harriman-Hara-
han faction in the war for proxies, to
he voted at the adjourned annual
meeting next Wednesday.
On the outcome of the motion to
dissolve the injunction, is believed
to hinge the balance of power in Iii
nois Central affairs. Without TIE aid
of the 2S1,23 shares, the Hartman
supporters do not now claim that they
can win. Since the annual meeting
adjourned in October, sp'r' ted con-
test for proxies has been conducted
by Mr. Harahan in the hope OF Sc
curing enough to control the meet
ing. exclusive of the enjoined stock
The returns did not show positive
ly that this result is assured, and to-
day, for the first time since the in
junction was granted in October. "a
motion 10 dissolve the order 50 far
as it applied TO stocl, owned by the
Union Pacific and Railroad Securities

that date by mutual agreement paid

TO Stratales upon the payment or
$500, the whole divided into four
payments of SIS each, which were to
be paid on or before the 18th day of
each month until the debt was liqui-
dated, or 1870 days from date. In de-
fault of payment the property was to
return to Mrs. DeSautels. The prop
erty consisted of two lots in Herman
son addition.
Further the plaintiff alleges that
he made two of the payments as pre-
scribed in the agreement, but shortly

stated.
Beside the convenience to people
of the district which the money order

After TWO years of successful work
in the local fire department, Chief

graceful speech gave up his chair toI
newly elected Chief Rove and the

Chief McNulty in the chair, instaila-
ton of officers took place. Chief
Rowe aud Assistant Chief Knecht
were installed and given their badges
of office, while c. r. Reeves was APP

Rowe made a short speech thanking
the department for the honor paid
him and the gathering then settled
down to business.
On the suggestion of Rowe mo-
ton was made by Reeves and carried
unanimously. that McNulty be given
a vote of thanks for the manner in
which he had conducted his office
during the time he held it. MeSsrs.
Knecht, Fitzmorris and Miller were
appointed as a committee to draft the
resolutions.
Chief Rowe reported that the 1900
feet of hose ordered several weeks
since had been finally shipped and
was on its way here.
On the suggestion If McNulty It'll

TROUBLES of the Ely Dog Catcher
Could Well BE Title of Story of
Rilcy's Breaking Into Life
of the ki-yi Deputy.

That the life of the official dog

of the persons occupying that post
learns within a short time, and dole

tons Only a short time since Mar

toga to II. j. Riley, who is now do
ing his best to rid the section of un-
desirable CANNES.
Riley took his position last week
For time things went we'll with him
and he was successful in the extreme.
Several long chases after age hard

which caused his heart to palpitate

catches glimpses of one of the ami

wary now, however. and the length OF
a business block is as near as he can
come to them. This goes to prove
that "A burnt child dreadeth the

at each and every person, who is OPP
