BOWMAN GIVEN A FREE HAND

COUNCIL TO SIGN PROVISIONAL CONTRACT
Smith In Kxiieetril to Seek nn Injunc
tion If the Attempt In Made Pns
seiittcr Secured nntiifiKV" 'or
Injured ,ccU.
Judge Thornell Jianded down his de
cision yesterday In tho city electrh! light
ing oontrnct case, refusing to grant For-
riflt Smith tho temporary Injunction re
straining tho city council from entering
Into a contract with Thomas Dow man, Tho
injunction Is denied solely upon the ground
that no contract with Bowman can be valid
or binding upon tho city until ho shall havo
obtained a franchise for operating and main
taining an electric lighting plant. As Ilow
man has not taken nny steps to obtain such
a franchise Judge Thornell holds that tho
plaintiff, Forrest Smith, is In no imminent
danger of having his Interests injured.
Judgo Thornell's decision follows:
The court llnds that so fur ns shown by
the evidence there was no fraud or collusion
on tho part of tho members of tho city
council In accepting tho bid of Thomas
Howman In preference to that of Krvln
Dryer. Tho court llnds thut until Thomas
Ilowman obtains a. franchise from tho city
that any contract made between tho city
and said Ilrwman will not be valid and
binding upon olther party thereto; that
thus for no steps have been taken by How
man to obtain such franchise; that no
money has or enn be appropriated or paid
to defendant Howman until he obtains such
franchise and proceeds to furnish such
lights; that In view of tho fact that such
franchise may never bo obtained by the do
fondant Howman and that no appropriation
may over be mndo t,y the revenues of the
city for the payment to Howman for lights
furnished or to lie furnished by him; that
tho court cannot say that any Injury Is
threatened or Imminent to tho plalntlrf as
u taxpayer and that u court of equity will
not Interveno by Injunction until It Is some,
what certain that un Injury will result un
less such Intervention takes place.
It Is therefore ordered adjudged nnd de-5-r.(I
V'S1 Jhls application of the plaintiff
l'orrest Smith for a temporary writ of In
junction herein be and tho same Is hereby
refused, to all of which tho plaintiff Forrest
Smith nt the tlmo excepts.
TWO Point ,.f( (.l.
Tho court does not touch upon the ques
tion whether tho city may now mako a pro
visional or conditional contract with How
man, which in tho event of his obtaining n
franchise shall becomo valid and binding.
Another point raised by tho plaintiff is llko
wlso not referred to by Judge Thornell. thnt
of whether tho city has the right to enter
Into a contract for a longer term than one
year. The contention of tho plaintiff Smith
was that tho city could not, whereas tho pro-
poseu contract is for a term of five years.
City ofllclnls when they learned of tho rul
ing said that there was nothing In It to
prevent tho city council from now entering
into a provisional contract with Howman
and it is expected that Mayor Jennlnes will
call a special session of the council to take
some action in tbo matter. Tho next reg
ular meeting of tho council is Saturday,
March 31.
Mr. Bowman when seen last evening said
no would at onco endeavor to socuro a suit
able contract from the city provisional on
nis obtaining a franchise nnd then would
Immediately take tho necessary Btcps to
havo tho people of tho city voto on tho
proposition of granting him a franchise to
construct, maintain and operate an electric
lighting plant In this city.
Smith Will Seek Injunc tion.
From statements mado by tho attorneys
for Smith, It is bolloved that should tho city
council enter Into a provisional contract for
flvo years with Howman that tho case will
at once bo reopened and an Injunction
sought. Tho refusal of Judgo Thornell to
grant tho temporary injunction asked for
does not put rfmlth out of court and the case
still remains on tho docket.
Judge Thornell also handed down his de
cision -in tho personal injury damage suit
of O. D. Wheoler against tho Omaha & St.
Louis Railroad company. Ho awarded
Wheeler damages to tho full amount of his
claim, $1,990. Attorney Wheeler was a pas
scnger on tho defendant's train and alleged
that a sudden jerking af tho train caused
by shunting cars caused a permanent Injury
to his neck. The defense was given ten
days in which to nlo a motion tor a new
trial. The caso was by agreement of both
parties tried before Judge Thornell without
a Jury.

MOTOR COMPANY 1'ILKS ANSWKIl.
Veiv Concern Ilenlen thnt It linn Inter.
fereel with Old Houd.
The Omaha, Council Bluffs & Suburban
Railway company filed Us answer yesterday
In tho injunction suit brought against It In
the district court by tho old motor company
to restrain It from building Its tracks on
South Main street or Broadway, or In nny
wnv Interfering with It, the old company,
Thn defendants admit that tho Council
muffs, Lako Manawa & East Omaha Con
structlon company Is a copartnership, com
nosed of Charles 11. Hannan, Emmet Tlnley,
James A. Patton, J. P. Greonshlclds, Albert
H, DeLong and A. S. rotter, nut that the
defendant company is n corporation organ
ized under and by virtue of the laws of
Iowa.
They deny that they havo at any time In
terfered, or have any Intontlon of Interfer
ing, with the plaintiff In tho operation of
Its street railway upon any of tho streets
in tho city of Council Bluffs; that thoy
have, or will obstruct, tho free uso and oc
cupancy of .any street by the plaintiff for
tho construction and oporatlon of a strcot
railway, and further specially deny that It
Is Impossible or Impracticable to have con
structed upon tho streets of said city other
street railway tracks than those of tho
plaintiff.
Tho defendants claim that under the fran
chise secured by them they wero authorized
to construct their railway so that Its track
would lap those of tho plaintiff; that Is, that
tho same should be constructed parallel with
the tracks of tho plaintiff as nearly as prac
ticable, and so that tho outer rail of tho
defendant's tracks shall be not to exceed
twelve Inches outsldo ot the outer rail ot
plaintiff's trackB; and the Inner rail of de
fendant's tracks shall bo a corresponding
distance lnstdo tho Inner rail ot tbo plaint
iff's tracks; that In tho construction of the
track by plaintiff Us ties have been placed
four feet and moro npurt and, In the opera
tion of Its trains along said track one track
Is dovoted' entirely to tho uso of tho east
bound trains nnd ono track entirely to tho
uso of thn westbound trains.
Continuing, the defendants assert that In
the construction of their streot railway
.tracks they cun do so by placing the ties
between those of tho plaintiff without In
any manner Interfering with the plaintiff's
tics or the supports thereof, and thereupon
construct Its tracks without tn any manner
Interfering with the plaintiff's tracks or tho
operation of Its cars. Thoy also assert that
In the operation of their trains nlong the
tracks so constructed It Is their Intention
to so operate their trains ns to correspond
with tho operation of the plaintiff's trains,
nnd thereby no Interference will bo caused
tho plaintiff.
They set forth further that they proposo
to construct their tracks along Mnln street,
from Uroadway to Sixteenth nvenuo, and on
Broadway from Thirteenth street to Mnln
street. ,
Tho answer recites tho circumstances un
der which It secured Its frnnchlso from tho
Council Muffs, Lako Mnnawn & East Omaha
Construction company nnd sets out that It
hns already expended largo sums of money
In tho construction of Its railway with the
full knowledgo nnd ncqulesccnco of the city
council nnd with tho knowledgo of tho
plalntlrf; thnt before commencing tho work
of construction It gavo duo notice to tho
city and the plaintiff company.
