bine, application for d restraining or
der was made in federal court, the
plea being made that the action of the
Richmond city council interfered with
interstate commerce.
Study is Confident.
Just why the MCGOWAN interests did
not ask for a restraining order to pro-
hibit the city from interfering with
employees of the Dayton and Western
is not explained. Inquiry at the coun-
ty recorders office revealed the fact
that the alleged lease of the Main
street tracks from Eighth street east
of the T. H. l. & E. to the Dayton and
Western had not been filed. Mr.. Rey-
nolds assured Mr.. Study that this
lease was on record at the county re-
corder's office. Mr.. Study is confident
that when the case comes up for
hearing October T. Judge Anderson,
after reviewing all the points, will
hand down a decision which will be IA
vorable to the city. The application
for a restraining order was made in
the Chicago federal court because OF
the absence of Judge Anderson of the
district federal court at Indianapolis.

IN the northern Italian Tyrol are
cluster Of awe.inspiring mountain peaks
that violate all ideas Of what mountains
should be. They are known as the Dolo,
mites Tossed high. as if arrested In
mid-air, they are natures own castles
In the am More than any castle walls
ever built by man, they seem TO defy
all possibility of ascent So little known
and so defiant are these mountain obe-
lisks that they have never been conquer
ed by mar until few months ago
Just how they were finally surmoumted
Is shown fully in Lyman Fl. Howe's Life
Drama in the opera house on Saturday
afternoon and evening. The ingenuity
and risks taken by the climbers is sem
sational in the extreme. Up the sides
Of great shattered peaks with SUBMITS
lost in the clouds, the climbers are seen
gaining their way foot BY foot, and al.
ways at imminent risk of their lives
Finally the last forbidding walls are
sealed and then the picture unfolds a
panorama OF mountains 50 spectacular
and fantastic ii their shapes al To be
wilder the mind. The scene is so unlike
anything else ever witnessed as to make
lDt spectator reel tldhalofttu 70 NlotheH
world altogether. New combinations Of
the wonders Of nature follow in rapid
succession making this feature of Mr..
Howe's new programme unlike any ever
attempted hitherto. The programme
abounds also with other features such
as Atlantic whaling and quaint Ireland,
which give it wealth of interest never
before embodied Ia 4 single exhibition.
