TO SUBMIT BRIEFS
SEEK TO ANNUL CHARTER OF orr
 IZHNs COMPANY.
An Amendment to the Quo Warrunto Proceedings Instituted Against the Company Was Sub
 mitted Yesterday.

Further effort was made yesterday to have the charter of the Citizens Light, Heat and Power Company an- nulled. Quo warranto proceedings inc stituted against the Citizens Company were resumed before Judge Pearson yesterday morning, when an amend ment to the original petition was off, fered. The amendment was due to the fact that when the petition was first before Judge Pearson the Citizens Com pany filed demurrers to 1t, which were sustained on the ground that the pe- tition was not sufficiently specific.
 The attorney for c. E. White. who seeks to have the charter of the Cfti- gems Company annulled cited the code in his argument, quoting. Section 2 Subdivision 3, which provides that a charter cannot be issued to e company with a name similar to that of com pany already in existence. The attor- ney pointed out the similarity between the name of the "Citizens Light and Power Company" and the Citizens Light, Heat and Power Company"
 The attorney for MT. White went in- to the history of the Citizens Company in detail. covering its organization. the amount of stock, etc, which 1t had and the nature of the transfer of stock, as 1t was alleged in the petition.
 Judge Pearson ordered that both sides submit briefs on the demurrers by today at noon.

Accommodating Trainmen.

Charley Ryan, who came over from
Waverly Monday on the stub, says
that the train stopped between Buck
Creek and Sumner while the train
men liberated a steer that had been
fastened in the mud for several days.
1t was a place where pasture land
on both sides OF the track is con-
nected by a runaway under the track
where a slough is bridged over. The
steer had about eight feet of iron
chain dragging from the end CT his
nose, and this chain was tramped
into the mud so firmly that the ami
NAL could not get away. The poor
beast was so weak from starvation
and thirst that 1t staggered feebly
when released, and was an object of
pity to all who beheld the sad spec
tacle. 1t is said that flies swarmed
about the creature adding to it's dis
comfort. The trainmen showed
commendable umapity-Sumner Ca

$4,000 Auto Burns at Manchester.
Wednesday evening at Manchester
White steamer automobile was
completely ruined by being set on
fire by its own blaze. The machine,
which had just arrived in the city
from Cresco, had deposited its owner,
Mr.. George F. Shuttle and wife of
Washington, ID. c., at the Clarence
house, while the chauffeur drove to
the garage, which was at that time
closed.
In turning around the machine
backed into the curbing of the pave
ment and punctured the gasoline
tank, the pressure of the tank spray
ing the gasoline over the blaze. In
an instant the whole car was a mass
of flames. Two occupants, H. F.
Gray and c. e. Tague, sprang to the
ground Immediately, but despite
their lively efforts to get away from
the blaze, both were severely burned.
Mr. Gray was scorched to great ex-
tent on the left side of his body. his
face being badly burned. while all
the clothing on the upper portion OF
the chauffeur's body was burned from
his back.
Mr.. Tage will be compelled to re-
main in the city for some days, as
his burns are so severe that it will
be impossible TO move him.
The machine, which was a $4,000
model of the White steamer, was
completely ruined, nothing being
left with the exception of the iron
frame work.
