Fought from Ambassador ThOmP-
contemporary Restrain
ing order.

Tho San Luis Land and Cattle company
L. suing the San Luis Land and Cattle
company In federal court, at least has
obtained a temporary injunction TO re-
strain Il from a meeting Of its directors
and officers to transact business.
All Of which means that a company OF
this name incorporated under the laws Of
Maine and another company OF this name
incorporated under the laws OF Nebraska
are thus e~ntangled over a piece OF Land
In Mexico, which Ambassador D.. E.
Thompson sold to the Maine company.
The hearing on the application for a
permanent injunction will be held Novem-
Der %.
The suit grows out Of a peculiar compli-
cation Of affairs. 1t is alleged in the
petition that prior to the organization Of
the Nebraska company In 1908, an agree
ment was entered into by J. F. Ravens
croft, NJ. J. Isler, and the defendants, w.
n. Smith, w. N. Robinson and ID. o.
Eldredge, providing for the Incorporation Of
the San Luis Land e. Cattle Co, with a
capital stock Of $225,OOO In shares Of 500
each, for the purchase Of the ranch
known as Minas Viejas. in the state Of
San Luis Potosi, MeNdco, that 20 shares be
issued to w. n. Smith for service as pro-
moter and organizer, and the pur-
chase OF thu ranch from d. E. Thompson
OF Lincoln.
Break Away From Maine.
At a meeting Of the Maine company In
August, 1908, Robinson, Eldredge and
Smith, then directors of the Maine COM
pany, resigned as directors of the company
and we're not reelected.
smith afterwards went to Mexico and, on
behalf of the Maine company, acted as
manager Of the property on the direction
Of the Maine company He was relieved
Of that duty by the Maine company on
January %, 1909, but refused to give possess
sion. claiming that he was in possession OIL
the property, as president Of the Nebraska
company. He denied that the Maine com
pany had any right to the possession of
the property or any Of its goods or
chattels.
1t now appears that the Nebraska coyu-
pany had issued a call for the meeting Of
its directors to be held in Omaha at the
Paxton hotel at 10 a. m. Tuesday.
d. NJ. Vinsonhaler appears for the Maine
company, which lays claim to the same
property, and in the petition alleges that
the interests Of the Maine company will
be jeopardized by such meeting and asks
that the Nebraska company shall not be
permitted to hold meetings for the trans
action Of business until the case can be
heard upon its merits.

ROB POWELL HOME.
Iron UmdO5c Bar Sa1ced and
SiCer Plate Taken.

The home OF Mrs Irwin A Powell
daughter OF Thomas l. Feitner. the lawyer
at No. 10 East s6th street, was robbed of
$4,000 worth OF silver plate Monday morn
ing. Detectives OF the Central Office have
been working on the case since then without
success, Inspector McCafrerty reluctantly
admitted last night.
The Powell home is the first house from
Fifth avenue in seth street. and Is so con-
structed that the second floor rear Is al
most level with slope that makes up at
that point. A small courtyard has been
excavssed and a stone wall surrounds II
az some distance from the windows OF the
building. AS a further precaution against
burglars all the windows on the second
floor are protected by heavy iron bars.
The household retired at 1 o'clock Mon
DAY morning. and the robbery was dis
covered when the servants appeared at s
o'clock One OF the bars on the second
floor had been sawed on after the burglar
had either made desperate jump from the
wall or bridged the intervening space with
boards II Is believed that more than one
person was concerned in the job or that
single robber carried his loot away In
wagon. as only the heaviest pieces OF sill
verWare were taken
