An order for a temporary Injunction as ,
prayed ror was issued Dy juuge famun .Mc
pherson and tho hearing on the application
for a permanent restraining order will bo
had August 1 at 10 o'clock In this city.
The complaint allegcti that tho enfo-ce

revenues of the gas company that It would
not be able to meet the Interest on Its .
bonds and provide for the sinking fund, and

lllsinry of the Company.
The papers filed in the case show that
October 8, 1889, tho City of Couuc'l Bluffs
by ordlnanco granted to tho Council Bluffs
Gas and Electric Light company a franchise
for twenty-live years; that by the terms
of this franchise the company was to charge
$2 per 1,000 feet for gas for the first five
years and $1.75 after that time. The fran
chise also contained a provision to the
effect that It should be subject to reasona
ble regulation as to prlccK and control of
tho company's property by the city. In
December, 1S9S, tho property of the com
pany was sold tinder foreclosure sale, being
purchased by Frank T. True as trustee of
the reorganization committee of tho bond
holders. In January, 1890, the property wai
assigned by True to the present compiny,
which mortgaged It to tho trust company to
secure an Issue of bonds in the sum of
$300,000, bearing T per cent Interest ami
due five years after date. Under thc terms
of this mortgago tho company was t bilged
io pay $5,000 annually to create a tdukln;
fund for tho retirement of the bonds.
Bonds wcro Issued In tho sum of $227,000,
the annual Interest on which amounts to
$13,800. Thus, with tho annual payment
of $5,000 for tho sinking fund, the company
has to pay above Its operating expenses
$18,800. This, tho petition says, It Will bo
unable to do It It is forced to sell Its gas
at tho rato fixed In tho ordinance com
plained of.
Heepliit for l.nst Yrnr.
It Is shown that the receipts of the com
pany for 1899 wero for gas $11,185.63 and
for electric light $22,263,81, making a total
of $66,449.47. The operating expenses wore
$51,913.80. leaving a balance of $14,535.67 to
meet tho interest and sinking fund pay
mont, nmountlng to $1S,800. The deficit for
the year was $4,261.33. ' 1
It Is asserted that the cost of material
nnd labor has materially Increased and
that for tho current year tho expenses of
operating will be $7,841.46 more than last
year and that if tho rato fixed in the or-
dlnance Is enforced tho deficit this year
will reach $19,122.19 and consequently thero
wlll bo no funds to meet tho Interest due
tho bondholders or tho sinking fund pay-
mcnt.
It Is further claimed that tho section of
tho stntuto under which tho city assumes
tho right to fix tho prlco of gas was passed
subsequent to tho granting of tho franchise
to tho gas company and Is therefore not
applicable to It.

the trncks or Injuring them In any manner
or building a roadway over and above said

man to tho place who Lad been mourned as
dead for twenty years.
Charles Lenz wns a young Gorman farmer
who lived a fow miles south of Ackley.
Ho had been married but a few months
when ho went to Ackley ono day with n
wagon load of hogs. The wife at home
waited for his return, but ho camo not.
Not a trace could bo found of Lenz, wagon,
horses or hogs. Ho had as completely dis
appeared as though tho earth had opened
up nnd swallowed him. After many dnys
tho search was abandoned and It was tho
generally accepted supposition thnt ho had
been waylaid, robbed of his money nnd
killed by a gang of robbers that Infested
the woods In that vicinity nt that time.
A short time after tho disappearance of
Leuz a child was born to his wife, a boy,
who Is now a young man .of nearly 20 years.
As tho years went by tho wlfo. thinking her
husbnnd dead, married John Welkert and
now lives with him near Abbott.
A fow days ago a man past middle age
arrived In Ackley and going to tho Central
hotel registered himself "Charles Lonz
Wlnthrop, Oregon." Ho proved to ho tho
long missing farmer, tho man who was
supposed to bo dead. He would give no ex
planatton of his disappearance. It has
dovcloped that ho hns prospered In his far
away western home, being tht owner of a
large and vnluuble farm. His mission to
his old home Is to try and pcrsuado his son
to return with him.
HAH AGAINST SALVATION' AltMY.

FORT DODGE, la., Juno IS. (Special
Telegram.) Open warfare haB broken out In
Fort Dodgo between tho citizens and the
Salvation Army. Tho army persists in
parading thc streets at all hours ot tho
night to sound of bass drum and tambourlno
and though there Is no end ot expostulating
It Is not sufficient to pcrsuado them to de
sist. A handsomo purse was offered them If
they would only abolish tho bans drum In
open air service, but this offer they spurned
ns a temptation of sntan. Sundny night
thoy planted their banners in front of tho
Duncombe house and lent their utmost ener
gies to drowning out tho music of an Italian
orchestra. Hundreds wero soon gathered
around to attend tho queer concort, which
ended In the police being called to disperse
the Salvationists.
"They are playing for the devil, while we
play for God," said the Salvation Army peo
ple, and they refused to budgo. What al
most bordered on a riot was happily avoided
and tho soldiers of the slums moved on to
moro welcome audiences. Feeling runs high
among business men against tho army.
