SUIT FILED
AGAINST CITY
James Woodward Asks Injunction In
WltorVofks Case.
TO ASCERTAIN VALIDITY OF BONDS
Bonds Sold Before Suit was
Started.

A suit was filed at the court
house Monday which has caused
some comment among the citizens.
1t was in the nature of an injunc-
tion against the issuing Of the bonds
in connection with the purchasing
of the Jack waterworks system.
James Wood ward fled the COM
plant and as yet has engaged no
other legal council to assist him in
the case. The city, which is the
defendant in the case, will prob
ably be represented by r. F. Full
ton. Mr.. Fulton resigned the frat
Of the year, his resignation to take
effect when successor was appoint
ed but as yet no successor has been
appointed. The object Of the suit
is to ascertain the validity Of the
bond issue.
Two elections have been held
to determine whether or not
the city should purchase the water
system. At the first election the
majority of voters were in favor OF
letting the system remain under
private ownership. Later the city
voted to purchase the present sys.
tenn from the Jack estate. While
the suit has been fled, no service
has been made upon any Of the
city officials. The case has occas-
ioned much attention and the de-
velopments OF the suit will be
watched with interest.

will be ready for skaters early

MRS. CARRIER RETURNS.
Was Witness In u s. Court
Story Of Case.

Mrs. ]. A. CARRIER returned Tues
day from Chicago where she was
called some time ago. Mrs. CARRIER
appeared before the United States
court as witness in case Of the
government against one Krenz,
who was convicted Of using the o..
S. mails to defraud his patrons.
Krens advertised an art school,
where students sent the sum oi
$3.50 and sample pen or pencil
drawing. Later, Krens would
criticise their work and pocket the
$3.50. Out Of 700 patrons who
sent the amount from all over the
country only two ever received any
more than just the experience. 8.
Enami, formerly of this place, re-
ceived $40 at one time, and various
other amounts. A young lady in
Kentucky also received some bene-
fit from the venture. Mrs. Gar
ber's testimony was mostly to prove
that the Grangeville postmark on
the letters and circulars connected
with the case was bona fide. Krens
was fined $1,000 and committed to
Jail for 60 days.
Mrs. CARRIER reports very pleas
ant trip, and says that such a triE
is we'll worth the time and money
spent in enjoying it. She is again
at her duties as postmistress of the
local post Office.
