company to take up It's rails between
Canon City and Cramer and between
Florence and Ora Junta and store
them hsre pending the suit TO compel
the company TO rebuild its line and
restore public traffic.
The conference was held in re-
sponse 10 request made by General
Manager J. ]. cogan OF the railroad
company wcek or ten days ago to
City Attorney Augustus Pease to re-
lax the Injunction and permit the
company to take up the rails and
store them hero until the litigation
was settled. Mr. cogan stated that
the property was rapidly deterioating
in value from neglect and that by
taking II up and storing It in dry
place its usefulness TO the company
could be conserved. Judge Pease sub
mitted the request to the city council
and Il voted to discuss the matter
with the members OF the city coun-
ell Of Florence and the county CON-
missioners: all OF whom were inter

Before record breaking crowd las.

Of 27 to 21. The game was hotly
contested throughout. The home
Team took an early lead when Captain

ed in the same way a few minutes
later. This lead was increased and

back With a determined resistance
the second half but could not stand
the pace. the final score being 81 to
2i for the home team,
The game was fast to the last whis-
tie with close guarding the feature
which accounts for the low score. The
local team worked under difficulties
in the game last night Lauterbach,
at guard, was forced to retire during
the first half with a badly turned
ankle Kennedy came to the rescue
in true big league style and held the
most dangerous of Central forwards,
Farlow. to three goals. Matkin. the
speedy little forward for the home
team. played a snappy game and serv-
ed TO wind the defense Of the Cen
tral i've. He was replaced by Rat
sAhl after twelve minutes Of play.
When 1t becomes necessary to pick
the Individual stars, Farlow and
