• these two big companies, their attorneys, their trainmen, their workmen In every line did “battle with their wits, the law, and some by sheer force. As 1s well known the Interurban company is extending their lines southward and to do so they must cross the Chicago & Erie tracks . on Winchester street Several weeks ’ ago this matter was taken up by the i. officers of the two ’roads and It was supposed that everything had been adjusted In a satisfactory manner, in i fact that was the statement given » out by both sides. Tuesday, however, i* the time for the actual laying of the ’ interurban rails across the C. A E. tracks, there seems to be a vast-gulf between the two companies, and so ■ serious has the affair become and so rapidly have various things occurred that It has been almost impossible to follow them. Hundreds of people watched the performance Ml day and had the matter been advertised a little the crowd would have been several times its size. It seems that tihe Erie, when it came to signing the agreement, would permit the in- , terurban line from being-laid across i their tracks peaceably demanded that toe traction company should agree to build an interlocking system and I maintain same. The traction people say that this would cost them between five and six,thousand dollars and is entirely unwarranted bylaws. The Fart Wayne & Springfield Co. refused to comply and made an effort to cross the tracks any way. Then the fun began. On the fastest possible schedule trains began arriving over toe Erie and for the last five ' or six hours that company has done more business here than for years, in fact , they were so busy that a train was almost constantly passing the crossing where the force of men were trying to lay the track. Then a box car was pushed down on the south spur switch and shoved off the track, cutting the crossing off from traffic. Another engine pulled down to the crossing and died there, and tio make it good as fast as the force ‘ of eighteen or twenty men in charge of Mose Henry would excavate beneath the track another force of Erie men would throw toe dirt back in. This kept up for a couple of hours and ' then each side sought the courts and k race as to which side should secure the first injunction started. The traction people through their attor--1 neys, Lutz and Koenig, filed their case ■ in toe circuit court at 10:45, setting up that they were unable to move their line across toe Erie tracks because they were interfered Wito by the agents, officers and servants of the said Erie. A half hour later Attorney Beatty appeared in court and asked a restraining order to prevent the traction people from tearing up their lines and tons stopping traffic. Each side filed bond and each urged that their papers be served first. Clerk Haefllng gave preference to the first served and at 12:58 toe temporary injunction was served on the Erie. They ceased all opposition then but did not remove the car or dead engine from toe tracks, and progress was necessarily slow, though the men worked with all their might and each advance was cheered by the crowd, the greater number of whom seemed to sympathize with the traction people. An hour later Deputy Sheriff Green served the injunction on thbj traction workmen and the jig was up temporarily at least. Each company asked a temporary injunction until the matter could be heard and determined In court, and this was! granted, and the court fixed May Ist as the date for said hearing. lllHWi.

I / o— Baseball enthusiasts from nine cit- ; ies gathered yesterday afternoon in - the parlors of the Morris hotel and i made preliminary arrangements for : the fonnition of the Northern Base- » ball League. The cities represented [ were Huntington, Marlon, Bluffton, > Kokomo,.Wabash, Peru, Decatur, Loi gansport and Anderson. The majori ity of _thoße present at the conference yesterday favored an eight team league, with the elimination of An- ; derson. Elwood And Muncie fans sent i written applications to the meeting ■ yesterday, but it is not ptobable that ; they will be seriously considered, i Another conference will be held at i Wabash the latter part of this week , at which time the report of the pircuit : committee appointed yesterday will ; be received. This committee consists i of R. C. James, of Huntington; Ed. i Hill, of Kokomo, and R. C. Justus, of i Bluffton, and the members will visit i every city in the proposed league this i week | and investigate conditions. i Representatives from baseball sup- . ply houses of Cincinnati and Chicago i were present at the meeting yesteri day showing samples of" the goods ■ manufactured by them and quoting > prices. The matter of letting the . contract for the equipment of the [ clubs will be decided at the Wabash b meeting. It was agreed that, the > house, receiving the contract is to furnish ‘a silver loving cup to be put ■ up as a trophy to go to the winning » club of the league at the end of the ; season. It has been settled that the i I new league will be under the protec- ■ tlon of the International Association. ■ This assures the fact that the league I will be a garden for all the promising young players of the country,who will I be held under three year contracts. ; In the event that any club sells a i player, the proceeds will go Into the . club treasury. The league will be in Class D. Folly fifty per cent, of the stock of the Marion club has been i sold and demands for the certificates are coming in fast. There seems no i doubt but that the stock will all be i sold, but it Is important that this be accomplished before the end of this i week, so that a complete report may . be made at the Wabash meeting.— Marion-News-Tribune. —'O— The telephone girls enjoyed a Japanese picnic at the home of Miss 1 .

When the schools of a county improve with each year, it is an important proof of the advancement of that community. This is a fact that cannot be disputed in old Adkins where we have been keeping abreast of the times in every department of school work, and we now boast of several high schools when a few years ago the only one was in-this city. Invitations will be sent out this week, announcing that the first annual commencement of the Peterson high school will be held on Thursday evening, April 29th. Under the supervision of Prof. Warner, one of the talented and bright young men of the county, this school has made splendid progress this year, and this event will be a very successful one. There are four graduates and the program will be as follows: March—Salute to Wellsboro.. .Miller Dailey Orchestra Invocation ........Eld. D. M.
