LEAVES SHADY GROVE OUTSIDE Supreme Court. Decision Makes . Cbanares at Mannwa. - The decision of the supreme court In sus taining the ruUng of Judge Scott of the superior court In the suit of James S. Chrisman ,And other' against the ptnaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge com pany means that the fence erected by the motor company across the old county road dividing the resort proper and what was formerly known as. "Shady Grove," will have to be taken down. This will reopen the publlo thoroughfsre to the lake. When the motor company . practically closed all the streets In what used to be the Incorporated town of Manawa on an order of Vacation made by the Board of County Supervisors, the firm of Chrlsman db Robards of Kentucky, which owned 600 lots or more In the Manawa additions, at once brought suit to force the motor com pany to reopen what they contended were publlo highways. The suit was really in stltuted In the Interest of several saloon men and others doing business on what was known as "The Midway" on the east side of the street bounding the motor com pany's grounds and which formerly went to the lake front. When the motor com pany placed a fence, across this highway for the purpose of Including Shady Grove In Its grounds, it placed the people on the Midway in a cul de see and to all Intents and puropses shut " them off from the patronage of visitors to the lake resort. . Until the text of the decision of the su preme court Is received . here it cannot be .definitely known Just how many streets will have' to be reopened, but It Is the opinion' of attorneys interested In the suit that the only thoroughfare of any conse quence affected by the ruling Is that which formerly divided Shady Grove and the re sort proper. The opening ' of this street will compel the motor, company to put in a large amount of new fencing on . both sides of the reopened thoroughfare and maintain gates In both' fences. This - will mean that Shady Grove will be reserved as it was In former years for .picnic par ties. It will also give the publlo access to USE ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE, A powder to be shaken into the shoes.
