Unless unforeseen circumstances
prevent, cars will be operating from
! Nauvoo into Fort Madison by the
middle of next July, says the Fort
Madison Democrat
| This gratifying announcement was
made when 1t became assured Tues
! day that the few thousand dollars
remaining to complete the stock sub
scription of this community was
| Forthcoming. The four thousand dol
lar balance necessary Monday was
cut down TO three thousand dollars
by a phone message from President
Schulze of the Mississippi Valley
Electric company, owners of the Fort
Madison street railway, at Iowa City,
personally subscribing one thousand
dollars.
When c. n. Petsch, the ST. Paul
man. now OF New York City, first
recognized the advantages of Fort
Madison n-Nauvoo. Keokuk line and
turned his efforts towards securing
X he was fortunate in securing a
most liberal financing proposition
from eastern capitalists. Usually
such financial interests demand that
local residents show their support
by subscribing half or two-thirds of
the cost. However. the interests
which Mr.. Petsch secured offered to
finance the deal IL the right of way
was secured and s55,000 In subscrip
tions was taken locally. The right
of way was completed some time ago
through the efforts Of Mr.. Petsch and
H. s. Payne of this city. who has
been the local representative in the
work The subscription was divided
between Fort Madison, Nauvoo and
the intermediate territory. Nauvoo
responded gallantly and quickly and
II remained for Fort Madison inter
ests to complete the deal. The sub
scriptions of Tuesday insured this
completion.
In anticipation of satisfying the
demands locally, arrangements have
been made 10 go ahead with the
actual construction work as soon as
possible. Contracts have already
been let locally for some Of the
material and men will be on the job
by the middle of April. The work
will be rushed to completion and il
nothing goes wrong the cars will be
operating by July Is. The stock sub
scriptions are not payable until
cars are operating over the line into
Fort Madison, and are conditional
upon the completion Of the line by
September 80 of this year.
The Nauvoo-Fort Madison stretch
is all that the present deal covers,
although the company expects to
proceed with the other branches as
rapidly as possible. The Nauvoo-
Keokuk line will be the next taken
up. then a Nauvoo-Carthage branch.

INJUNCTION
WILL STAND
Judoe James D. Suyth at Burlington
Refuses to Dissolve Power
Company Order.

BURLINGTON. Iowa, March s.
Judge James D. Smyth of the district
court overruled the motion brought
nv Attorneys Samuel f. Gross and
samuel X. Tracy TO have the cour,
dissolve an Injunction granted las
fall stopping the appraisement OF
damages suffered by owners OF prop
srty In the iowiands near Burlington,
as the alleged result of the construc'
ton OF the Keokuk dam.
While holding that the action OF the
land owners attorney in the begln'
ining-that of getting sheriffs jury
OF six men to so over the land-Was
legal. the court held that the proper
procedure would be to take recourse
to the courts by means OF law suits
Judge Smyth based his decision IN
the matter on his own belief and on
modern decisions in such cases. he
admonished those concerned not &c
consider it decision OF fartherreach
ing moment than merely decision
as to the proper procedure.
The case Is one of considerable
general interest. because there are
MANY in the community who have
suffered damages since the dam was
bn;lt. Some. it is said, say the Hi
nojs retaining wall. or dixie, also is
contributing cause to the conoition
It is expected, or practically assured
that the next step will be the filing
of suits for damages against the MIS-
sissippi River Power Co, by the land
owners involved.
The first action was brought by AT.
torney Sam Gross, when he secured
a sheriff's Jury to appraise the dam
ages caused to land owned py his
father. az. s. Gross, and some others
The attorneys for the power company
then got an injunction restraining
the property owners attorneys from
proceeding as planned. The matter
acted upon by Judge Smyth today
was on the motion made by Attorneys
Tracy and Gross to have the in3unc'
ton dissolved, proposing TO thus
asain clear the way for the procedure
at first contemplated.
George B. Stewart Of Fort Madison
general counsel for the power com
nanv. and Attorney Harold J. Wilson
~ the firm OF Wilson & Jackson. rep
resented the company in the case to-
day.
,he attorneys for the company as
sert that the sheriffs jury procedure
was not proper because the land had
not been seized or made entirely use
less. but was merely unfit during a
part of the time.
! Some interesting developments are
expected when the other procedure
gets under way.
