him, though can see his light every
night and see him at work in his
fields and we have now been here over
four years. The land is very high, in
fact it is beyond reason. Wheat and
oats and beans are the main crops. Of
the latter they grow 1000 tons.
The land has been cropped with grain
so long the yield is falling fast, and a
few are commencing to dairy on a
small scale. Diarymen here will have
to depend on the silo, as our climate
differs somewhat from old Wisconsin.
Three months of the summer is very
dry and in growing of crops we depend
on moisture stored in the soil during the
wet months.

R|NG[|NGS WIN
IN INJUNCTION

That all is not sunshine, merry music,
and comic acts by clowns with circus
may be seen from the following from
the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Herald:
Judge William B. Brown has denied
the injunction sought to restrain Ring
ling Bros. big circus from showing
Monday at Loyalty park. The big
show will be here and will show on the
advertised grounds.
No action in court has been OF more
interest in many days than this one.
When it became known to the property
owners around the park that 1T was
proposed to locate the circus upon the
grounds a battle was fought in the
council in an effort to have the license
denied. Property owners appeared
there and protested that when cir
Gus showed on these grounds last, gar
bage and litter was left on the lot
creating nuisance, that the noise and
smell and swarming of the crowds were
nuisance and a violent protest was
made against allowing reception.
A representative of the circus ap-
peared before the council and informed
the aldermen that the circus was will
ing to do Whatever was right in the
way of clearing up debris and leaving
the ground clean and sanitary. He
a lded that the time was so short and
tie schedule had been so arranged that
unless the circus could show there, it
could not show in Grand Rapids at ALL
The aldermen promptly granted the
license and the circus people as promp-
thy took out the license paying the fees
therefor.
The next week an attempt was made
to have previous action of the council
reconsidered but since the license had
already been taken out, the council
declared it could not retract.
Injunction Asked.
The next step was the injunction.
i Ills Was SCdI leu UuL u Lew UdYS ago
and came before Judge Brown for hear
ing yesterday. The injunction was
asked by Robert Winery and others
against John Nelson and others. Mel
son being the lessor of the, property
and the city and circus people were
included.
M. Thomas Ward represented the
owners and John M. Kelley
of Chicago represented the circus.
The property owners set up the claim
of nuisance They charged that the
show would result in great crowds
which would tramp over their lawns
and property, that great smoke and dust
would be raised by the tramp of thou
sands upon the property, that there
would be tremendous noise and that
after the show had gone the field would
be left Uttered with garbage and debris
which would result in stencil for
o1siderable ii me to come.
