called for, and two officers, armed with
guns, were sent to attend the services
and protect the life of the pastor. The

UP and left the city. The church was
then known as the Polish Catholic
! immaculate Conception church, an in
dependent sect.

Rev. Nurkiewicz, in an injunction
proceeding whereby he attempted to
/ gust the present pastor and regain his
pulpit, which was heard before Judge
E. B. Belden in circuit court last
week, charged that the schism in the
I congregation was started when he re-
fused permission to certain members
! of the congregation to use the base
ment of the church for the distilling
/ of moonshine. whiskey.
The present pastor of the church is
/ Rev. John Zawdaicki, who was hired
/ by the congregation after Rev. Muir
I kiewicz locked up the building. Rev.
! Nurkiewicz charged that members of
the congregation had broken into the
/ building after he had locked up.
The plaintiff in the foreclosure ac-
tion are Mary and Matt Zapenska, who
/ hold past due notes for $4,000; Alex
/ Powlowski with notes for $4,000; and
! Thomas Zachorski who holds note
/ for $1,000. Albert Wognich who has

! The members of the congregation,
who are starting the action, are said
to be hackers of Rev. Nurkiewicz, and
have decided to make the present lead
ers of the congregation either pay up
or get out. In the complaint it, is
alleged that interest which should
have been paid last year is still unpaid.
Wognich, it is understood, would
not join in the action because of the
fact that his sympathies lie with the
present administration and for this
reason he was made co-defendant.
