TELEPHONE COMPANY
OVERRULED BY COURT
Appellate Division UphOldS
Christian County Officials
In Highway Suit

Frankfort, Ky, Dec, %, - The
Court of Appeals today overruled
the motion of the Christian Todd
Telephone Company to grant man
datory injunction to restrain the Of
ficials of Christian County from in--
terfering with their poles and lines
along the highways of Christian
County. The telephone company is
a consolidation of the Pembroke,
Hopkinsville and Cumberland TeIe-
phone Companies. Complaint was
made that the company is monopoly
and is charging higher rates than
were charged before the merger.
The Fiscal Court sold a franchise
for a telephone company to compete
with this alleged monopoly and the
Christian-Todd Telephone Company
sought to prevent the use of the
highways of the counties by the new
company on the grounds that 1919
B. Kentucky Statutes, gives it
use of the public highways and the
right to condemn private lands for
the use of their poles and wires.
In refusing to dissolve the injunction
the Appellate Court held that the
only way that the company can get
the use of the highways, is by the
consent of the Fiscal Court, which
can only be done by the sale of the
franchise.

In All Lines of Business Mer-
chants Had All They

WAS JOY in EVERY HOME.
Great Outlook For The Coming
Year, Makes Everybody
Happy.
VAS JOY IN EVERY HOME.

The year 1913 is about off the cal
ender forever. 1t was peculiar
year in many respects, storms, floods,
drouths all took a part in the year
that had Is in it. The tariff and
currency bills were enacted, the lat
ter the first change for half CEN
fury.
Locally we had many questions of
great Importance before the people
and business in all branches has been
more than good. During the ten
days preceding Christmas eve the
merchants were rushed almost to the
limit of physical endurance. Money
has flowed like water and Santa
Claus had more goods than he could
deliver, even with the assistance of
the new parcels post system. Many
merchants talked to said their Christ
mas trade was not only from 40 to
30 per cent. more than a year ago,
but their sales were far beyond any
previous Christmas.
Children were never more bounti-
fully supplied with all the little
things that gladden. their hearts and
make homes happy, and altogether
| it has been the greatest ever known
here.
Everything points to great things
for the coming year for the city and
the county and the public mind, so
far as can be discerned, will have no
great questions to decide. In the
city, however, one momentous unde-
cided question will have to be decid-
ed = government by commission.
This holdover from 1913 will be
decided before another year rolls
round.

ing and at the corner Of Tenth street
was accosted by a negro boy who
asked him to go into the dark por-
ton of Tenth street to help his faith
err, who had been thrown by horse
and was badly hurt. Mr.. Meilke went
with the boy and found a negro man
lying on the ground groaning and
after getting up he begged for some
money to get some liniment. Mr..
Meilke took out his purse when the
man grabbed it and a scuffie ensued,
the boy trying to help the man. In
the struggle Mr.. Meilke's collar, a
rundown one, was cut almost in
two with knife and scratched in a
second place. The negroes finally
pulled away and ran off With tn purse
containing SAP. One arrest was made

Meilke said he was not the man, who
was a big rough negro wearing a
t h i n loose fitting overcoat, The
place where the robbery occurred
was about $50 feet from Main street.
