noted the coming of the Hams broth

few minutes before the funeral was
to have taken place, Undertaken l.. +.
Shank was served with an injunction
from the district court restraining him
from delivering or burying the body.
The injunction was issued by Judge
Hugh Brennan on application Of the
father, Jacob Stein, who believes
his son has been murdered, and
claims the woman Is not his sons
legal wife. Members of the Des
Moines detective force have been en-
ployed on the case and it is possible
one will be dispatched to Loudenville,
Ohio. to gather data. The hearing on
the injunction will be heard later
In connection with the injunctions
against the undertaken, Judge Bren-
nan issued an injunction restraining
Mrs. Stein, the wife, from disposing
of her husbands body.
The writ OF injunction was issued
against the wife as Mary B. Bayard,
or alias Mary B. Stein.
The father, in his application for in
junction before Judge Brennan, urged
that the woman who now claims to
be his sons wife is not so legally.

become north and south poles when
the current is passed through single
exciting coil Excited in this way, the
shoes are drawn down upon the rail
midway between the wheels Of the
car with a force Of several TONS Elk.
citing current is furnished by the
motors, running as generators, thus
rendering the brake independent Of
the trolley circuit. Between the two
shoes is connected channel iron and
a system of brake-levers and chains
attached to brake spindles at each end
OF the car to enable the shoes to be
pressed down upon the track by hand
in the usual manner of track-brakes. It
is intended to use the brake in this
way for controlling the speed OF the
car on down grades, and for slowing
up under usual conditions. When thus
used the car can be stopped either by
increasing the pressure due to the
hand-lever, or by exciting the electro.
magnets. The thrust OccasiOned by
the retarding action Of the brake is
taken by a tongue.shaped steel brack,

engages with jaws on the sides Of the

brake are attached to the poles OF the
magnet, and the bolts may be renewed
when necessary. The exciting coils
