Illinofs St $250-8300 Damage Damage to the taxi in foot drop. was $250 to sheriff's deputies estimated. The driver's name was not learned immediately. On its way to pull the taxi out of the gully, the driver of a Red Cab wrecker. spotted another of the company's taxis about 300 feet from the road in a wood near E. 46th St. and Fall Creek Pkwy. It was undamaged except for scratches. Under Restraining Order Both the cab company and the striking union are under| court orders restraining them from further violence until 9:30 a. m. Tuesday.
