Supreme Court Decision.
| The supreme court of Iowa has af-
f1rmed the decision of Judge H. Bank.
Jr, in the case of Keokuk Electric
Railway and Power company vs..
i Charles F. Weismann, executor under
the will of j. c. Hubinger, deceased.
! This news was contained in tele-
gram received this morning by the
law firm of Hollingsworth and Blood,
which represented the electric light
company.
The case is very interesting one
and involved the right of way over
lots of the Hubinger estate on Grand
avenue Suit was brought by the
Keokuk Electric Light and Power
Company as plaintiff to enjoin j. G..
| Hubinger from barricading certain
right of way over the property and
used by the company's employees as a
| passage way; also to enjoin the de-
structior by defendant of certain
lead of poles and wires crossing the
property. The suit was brought after
! Mr.. Hubinger had disposed of his in
terests to the Electric Light Co. The
defendant by cross bill sought to
enjoin the plaintiff and its employees
from crossing his property or main
tanning line of poles and wires
thereon.
The passageway across the prop
erty is we'll known to people who have
visited the pretty grounds. 1t is bet
ter understood as the asphalt side
walk which extends from the Avenue
at Twelfth street across the property
just at the head Of the lake, and joins
4 the steps which lead down to the
electric light plant. The lead of
wires and poles cross the property at
Eleventh street The case was de-
cided by Judge Bank nearly two years
ago and appealed to the supreme court
by Attorneys w. C. Howell and w. j.
Roberts, representing the defendant.
BY the decision of Judge Bank the de-
PENDANT was enjoined from interior
ing with the electric light company.
