Stone admitted the deception. but de-

SALE OF STREET RAILWAY
ANNULLED By COURT

Lincoln. Neb, June 4. = Notification
was received yesterday that the United
States court of appeals at ST. Paul,
Minnesota had set aside the sale of
the old Home street railway company
to the New Citizens company. of Lin
coin. The effect of the decision is to
deprive the citizens of the franchise
permitting the use of the streets of the
city. A defect in the confirmation of
the sale of the old company is the
basis for the ruling. The citizens COM
pany claims, however. that this merely
sets aside the sale, but under a deci-
sion of the supreme court of Nebras-
ka, 1T cannot be driven from the
streets. Complications may follow,
because stockholders in the old Home
company may intervene and claim
every right of way.
