A TELEPHONE SCRAP

Seymour Jacobs who lives in the
Eggers' property on the northw est
corner of Court and Sixth streets
had a ruction with an employee of
the Bell Telephone company this
forenoon. A gang Of the com.
pany's workmen began digging
holes and setting poles down the
south side of Court street this
morning. One of the hules was
dug on the edge of the walk along
the north side of the Eggers' prop
erty. Mr.. Jacobs objected to the
hole being dug and the employee
quit. Jacobs then filed the hole
and put a chair over it and sat
down. The boss of the gang came
along and ordered the employee to
dig the hole, but Jacobs held the
fort. The boss then took the chair
and lif II Jacobs off the hole. In
doing So Jacobs claims the boss
struck him. He made a complaint
before Judge Castle and the boss
was arrested on the charge Of as
sault and battery. He gave bonds
in the sum of Sl00 and his trial was
set for 2 o'clock tomorrow.
An application for a franchise to
place the poles in Court street is
pending before the commissioners
and will not be heard until July
9Th. 1t seems that the companv
did not want to wait that long and
Commissioner Patterson was asked
several days ago to give the com.
pany permissinn to proceed with
the work. This, we understand
he did subject to the action Of the
commissioners on the franchise.
On this rather fimsy authority
the company went ahead.
The claim is made that the pole
by the Egger's property is only 81
feet from the fence and is in the
sidewalk. The north fence of the
Eggers' property, and in fact. that
along the north side of the whole
block is several feet in the street
If the fence was on the north lint
of the Eggers' property, where il
should be. the pole in question
would not be in the sidewalk.

that it will be- a long time before
that is brought about. Until thi.
is done. we do not believe an,

4 TEAPOT TEMPEST

A stranger reading yesterdays
Free Press would naturally think
the people Of Elko were IN a fear
full state of excitement over the
action of the Bell Telephone COM
pany putting its line through Court
Street. The excitmcnt however,
was confined to a very small pOr-
tion Of the population of the town,
but these few were worked to such
a frenzy they imagined they were
the whole thing. The district at
! torney was called upon to stop the
Wvrk, hut he vas poweriess. Com
missioner Griswold was then called
from his work in Starr Valley to
head off the graping corporation
He came down on the first train
and with Commissioner Patterson
held a meeting Of the board in the
afternoon. This resulted in an or
der tn the district attorney to begin
injunction proceedings against the
company at once. While the dis
trict attorney was at work, Attor-
new Henderson, representing the
company had all work stopped. Be-
side the order to begin proceedings
the commissioners asked the people
VI the town to meet them last
evening for the purpose Of cons.d-
crlng the situation.
The meeting was held in the
courtroom and a fairly rcpr esenta-
tive body Of citizens was present.
| A number of speeches were made
and the condition of the town in
regard to the proper route for the
telephone line was thoroughly dis.
cussed. The opposition to the line
going through Court street claimed
that it should go through an alley
so that the beauty of tn: street
would not be married by unsightly
poles. The discussion, however.
developed the fact that there was
not an alley on the north side of
the Southern Pacific track that was
not blocked by public or private
buildings or other obstruction, dues
10 the way the town was originally
laid out.
About two hours were spent in
the discussion Of the matter and 81
proposition was made to these
present to vote on the proposition
of the line going through Curt
Street. This proposition dice
ab%ornin'as. Commissioners Patter,
son and Grisw0ld stated that the
only thing they could act on WI.
the petition fiji d by the company in
its application for a franchise.
II anything was accomplished at
the meeting, it Was the development
Of the almost. universal sentiment
that the citizens wanted the tclc-
phone line through the town even if
the beauty Of Court street was
rarred by the poles. There was no
installing this sentiment. AS n result
OF the meeting, the wires were
strung through town today and the
tempest OF yesterday is but a mem.
ory.
