Action to Prevent Construction Of
Roadhed Along Proposed Sur
vey to Dam Works
is Started.
ASK FOR INJUNCTION
Water Works Company Presents Pet..
tion In the District Court to Put
Damper on Proposed
Plans.

The expected action of the local
Water Works company in which it
seeks an Injunction to prevent the
changing of Water street where the
road runs leading to the dam works,
was begun in the district court this
afternoon before Judge Bank.
The objections Of the Water Works
people are based, it is said, on the
fact that the proposed street level
and survey of the road would do con-
siderable damage to the plaintiff COM
pany, in that a large water tank and
cistern would be in the pathway of
the road if the grading along the pro.
posed survey is carried out.
Considerable agitation has been in
dulged in recently, or since the pro.
posed changes were preached. One
plan was for the roadway to be on the
inside Of the track, and the other, the
one that meets the opposition of the
Water Works people, Is between the
river and railroad. The petition for
the Injunction names the c., B. & @
railway and the Water Power com.
pany, and others. as defendants. The
road in question Is the one that leads
to the dam works.

TYING BEATS QUINCY
TENNIS EXPERT
keokuk Tennis Players Display Their
Superiority over Quincy Cracks
In Singles.

The semi-finals in singles were play
ed yesterday afternoon, Tying winning
from T. e. Musselman of Quincy in a
sensational match, the score by sets
being 3-6, 81, 6-3, and 81. Mr.. Mussel-
man at one time was within one point
of winning the fourth set, and had he
been successful in bringing the score
to two sets all. he would have had an
even chance Of winning the match.
The play was fast and furious from
start to finish and both contestants
showed signs Of exhaustion at the
conclusion of the match. Onlookers
say that this was by far the best con-
tested and interesting match ever
pulled off in Keokuk, and Mr.. Mussel-
man, who for number of years has
won most of the tournaments in this
vicinity, will undoubtedly be on hand
to regain his laurels. If Tying can
now beat Dewitt in the finals he will
be the Tri-State champion.
The finals in doubles are being
played this afternoon on Mr.. Cephas
Harrison's court between the Mussel-
man brothers and Tying and Dewitt.
II Is possible therefore, that the .Keo-
kuk men in both singles and doubles
VII make a clean sweep.

ENGLAND Clasps
AT SIR WILLIAM
Byles Charges That Bonar Law VIII

statement through the liberal newspa-
pers that Bonar Law, the conserva-
tive leader, probably knows treason
felony indictments are being drawn
against prominent men accused of in
citing Ulster to violent resistance OF
Irish home rule.
Threats of actual revolt by ths
Orangemen, if the home rule bill
passed, have never been taken very
seriously by the British Sir William
Byles, however, is one of the leading
liberal members of parliament and it
is taken for granted by everyone that
he knows what he Is talking about His
utterance is strengthened, too, by the
announcement in the Dundee Adver-
tiser, which is generally considered
Lord of the Admiralty Winston
Churchill's personal organ, that the
government is watching very closely
the sayings and doings of Mr.. Bonar
Law, Sir Edward Carson, f. e. Smith
and others and that, "in the event Of
disturbance" it will act with the Ut
most rigor and stern judicial indif
ference to the position of offenders. =
The popular Interpretation of to-
days outburst is that the liberal
leaders believe the threat of warfare
in Ulster is sincere. that they consld-
er fighting possibility, perhaps a
probability, and that they are warning
the men who have suggested 1t that
they will be held criminally account
able for 1t, if it comes.
This is a good deal more serious
situation than most people supposed
existed, and to say that it has created
a sensation is expressing 1t entirely
too mildly. The conservative leaders

O'Clock Saturday night, and is suffer

the assault of the highwayman. He
says that he came down town in the
evening with only a small amount of
change and started home shortly be-
fore eleven o'clock. He noticed a
negro following him but says that as
the man was whistling and evidently
paying no attention to him, he thought
nothing Of it. However, the negro
kept gaining on him and when within
few feet Of him, ran towards him
and struck him with some blunt in
strument, cutting a deep cash in the
side Of his head. He clinched with
his assailant and managed to shake
him off, after which the negro turned
and made his escape. The robber did
not secure anything from Mr.. Fair
