Roxboard VS.. strawboard.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 12.-Arguments
were heard in the Circuit court today
on the application for an injunction
filed by the minority stockholders of
the American Strawboard company to
restrain the management of the Unit

stubborn fight that has been waged
for some time between the stockhold-
ers of the two gigantic corporations.
The reply of the United Boxboard in

junction contains many counter
charges of fraud against the former
management of the Strawboard con

convey it onto these arid lands.
There are hundreds of thousands
of acres of the very choicest sage
brush lands lying in the vicinity
of Echo awaiting reclamation,
and which with irrigation will
not only add untold millions in
golden wealth of products to
the country, but will provide
