Application for Temporary Writ Of In
Junction to Make Mississippi Val
10y Co. Resume Former
Relationship.
ARGUED THIS MORNING
Judge Clements Took Application I'm
der Amusement and viii Likely
Pass on 1t Within a
Few Days.

1t is believed that the Mississippi
Valley Telephone Company's ultimate
object in severing connections with
the Western Illinois Telephone Com
pany in 1908 was to freeze OUT the
Illinois company in this territory and
force it to sell.
Since the action taken less than two
years ago there has been considerable
litigation and the case is now before
Judge w. G. Clements in the district
court here. The Western Illinois Tele-
phone company has asked for a tenn
porary writ of injunction to compel
the Mississippi Valley Telephone Com
pany to restore the connections which
they severed, and the application was
heard this morning. The law firm OF
Hughes and McCoid represents the
plaintiff and Attorney w. J. Roberts
The defendant company.
The plaintiffs attorneys are raising
a pretty point and one which has but
recently been raised in the federal
court. 1t is that when two systems
are united and make physical connec-
tions, that they become a common car
rier for the people and that the pub
lie has an interest in that connection;
that it cannot be severed except by
mutual consent of the systems

Bank and Demurrer.

On March 10 Judge H. Bank, Jr.,
pverruled the Mississippi Valley fTele-
phone Company's demurrer after hay-
Ing it under advisement for long
period. and at the time stated that
at was one of the most important rul-
Nings ever made during his many years
on the bench.
IA history of the case is interesting.
~ Bout fourteen years ago, when ]. c.
1sibinger entered into the telephone
field here, the Western Illinois Tele-
phone Company, operating phones in
Illinois east of Keokuk, made arrange
taents with the H ibinger phone COM
pany to come to lieokuk and unite
with its business, and do operating
from a single switchboard, making
division OF the tolls and the receipts.
These two companies united and
continued to do business until they
had grown to the present proportions.
Later the Mississippi Valley Tele-
phone company severed rela-
tons with the Illinois Tele-
phone company and in March of 1909,
the Western Illinois Company brought
suit by mandamus in the district court
10 compel the Mississippi Valley Tele-
phone Company to restore it's original
relations. This suit the Mississippi
Valley Telephone Company demurred
TO. claiming the court had not power
TO compel the company to restore such
relations. The demurrer was argued
and submitted and then taken under
advisement by Judge Bank.
Attorney Roberts gives the follow
ing reasons for the court denying the
writ and his arguments were along
these lines:
Because there is no existing con-
tract.
1t has no right to operate in Kee-
kuk because the franchise has run out
and has never been renewed
Because there Is no equity in the
matter generally and the court cannot
make an equitable order.
He says that the Western Illinois
Telephone company wants to acquire
the rights of the Mississippi Valley
Telephone company's property with
out the expenditure of cent and the
fact that the two companies We're con
nected for time m 'as no differ.

The application for a temporary
writ was taken under advisement by
Judge Clements, the attorneys having
concluded their arguments at noon.

Some Horrible Work.

All around, the crimes with which
Fealding is charged are atrocious. 1t
is said that the fiend in human form,
who went through the pockets and
robbed the dead, had both his coat
pockets full of stuff he had selected
and that he was blood from the tips
of his fingers to his shoulders. There
was story of diamond ring being
taken, finger and all, and that the
finger was found near small pile of
pocketbooks some distance away from
the wreck.
This may be purely imaginary on
the part of one of the survivors, but
it is given serious consideration by
some familiar with the affair.

No Direct Evidence.

He was newsboy on train No. 10
the morning of the wreck. There is
no direct evidence to connect him with
the robbing of the dead and injured
except in a roundabout way, so far,
but the police believe that they will
be able to secure evidence to prove
that he was seen stealing stuff from
the victims of the wreck. One of the
passengers stated after the wreck
that he saw man sitting by the side
of ditch going through half dozen
blood-stained pocketbooks Other
passengers state they saw man in
a blue uniform with a half dozen
watches.
Jacob Nauholz is reported to have
had a handsome diamond, and about
$50 in money in his pocket before the
wreck. None of this was found on
his body Others are reported to have
had large sums of money. but these
same people We're found without a
cent after the wreck when their dead
bodies We're recovered.
All these things were reported to
the detectives of the Rock Island and
they were working on them. But
they had discovered nothing material
except what pointed in the direction
OF Fealding.
Fealding has been newsboy for the
Rock Island off and on for several
years. He was arrested by Special
Agent Gus Cunningham about year
ago for short changing passenger.
He was discharged and the special
agent did not know that he had been
re-employed.

Detectives Heard of His Talk.

The past week or since the wreck
Fealding has been in this city, He
was not working but seemed to have
much money. He told half dozen
times of having been in the wreck and
how the Rock Island special agents
were looking for him. But they were
not doing that They We're though
after they heard the stories he was
telling.
In one of the saloons he told the
bartender that they were after him
for selling diamond This bartender
happened to mention this fact to De-
tective Mcguire. Although he gave a
description to Mcclure the fellow was
not located
