Despite the order of Judge Wheeler of
the district court dissolving the tenn
porary injunction secured by Angel Alta
restraining the city from cutting the
Pettibone ditch through his property at
Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street.
the ditch is still proving a bone of con-
tention between the municipal authorities
and the property owners in that section
Of the city.
Yesterday Street Commissioner Tim
Flood started a gang of ten men at work
on the ditch, but they did not get very far
along when there was a cessation of dig
ging. Mrs. Alta, armed with a pitchfork.
drove the men from the ditch and held
them at bay. None of the men were
anxious to tackle the pitchfork, and when
Boss Flood returned from inspecting
other work in another part of the city he
found his men taking things easy. Flood
tried to pacify Mrs. Alta, but the more
he talked the more she waved the pitch
fork in dangerous proximity TO his per-
son. Finally Chief Of Police Richmond
was applied to and he sent Patrolman
Allen TO the scene. When she saw the
officer Mrs. Alta retreated to her house
and the men succeeded in digging about
hfty feet Of the ditch by quitting time.
Commission Flood said last evening that
he expected the ditch would be filled up
again before morning, as has been the case
twice before.
The court will be asked Monday to issue
an order restraining Mrs. Alta, her hus.
band and all others from interfering with
the work on the ditch.

husbands and wives sat together. Shortly
after this a change o. pastors occurred
and the new minister changed back to the
old practice. This created opposition and
the question was carried to the conference.

pastor that 1t was better not TO insist
upon his position in the matter, but this
availed not the church dividing, those OPP
