If the Injunction small be dissolved, It will leave this board free to act. it la of great SubllR Importance that this question shall e speedily daiermintd. The public of Pot tawattamie county Is Interested In the maintenance of the resort at 1-ake Manawa and the street car company can make no provision toward opening that resort until this question shall he determlnM. If the determination is deliyeil tor any consid erable period It will be too late to success fully prepare It for opening lor the coming season, us It requires a larae amount of work to prepare for such opening.

When the attorneys for the property own ers at Manawa who are fighting the vaca tion of the streets in question were notified of this the latest move on the part of the street railway company, they said: "It looks as If the motor company is confident that In the event of Judge McPherson rul ing In its favor the county supervisors will ax once accrue iu no injucok biiu vaiaio '.Me streets, where do we come In In this , . ,, ,!,,- .Ui, -,, Knnici ii k: un r iriMiii 11s1'10 ...v.i . .. the Board of County Supervisors cannot disregard and we certainly shall not stand Idly by and permit these streets to be va cated without a protest. It may be, how ever, that the controversy can be amicably settled. We are waiting to hear from one of our clients In regard to the proposition we are making' to the motor company as suggested by the Commercial club, but until he Is heard from we cannot make any defi nite offer. The supreme court has decided In our favor that these streets must be kept open and we fail to see how In the face of that the county supervisors can now order them vacated, but of course the county board has not as yet signified Its in tention of complying with the request of the motor company," SMITH COMMENCES HIS AHGIMRNT SPORTS OF A DAY. Devotee Time to Showing; Boyle's Claim la Unreasonable. Congressman Walter I. Smith, who com menced the closing argument yesterday for the defense In the Doyle-Burns case, under took to demnnntrate that upon the evidence of Doyle, taken as a whole. Burns was en titled to a verdict without any further ev idence. This was In answer to Mr. Hughes, who In his opening argument for the plain tiff Insisted that upon - the evidence of Doyle's witnesses, without his own testi mony, Doyle was entitled to a verdict. Taking up Doyle's claim In the present ult, Mr. Smith made some calculations for the benefit of the Jury, showing how out of all proportion, aa he contended, Doyle's demand Was. He showed that Burns re ceived la all for the three claims involved In the suit 894,857 shares, out of which he gave his brother, Tom Burns, 5,000, and 'Ma slaters 12VIHKL retaining hut 244SfiT him. lelf. Mr. Smith explained that Doyle's demand for, 239,000 of these shares would leave Burns only 5,857 shares of stock as tils share of the proceeds of the sale of these three claims, while Doyle, If he was awarded these 239,000 shares as sued for, would then have received 204,000 shares, as at the time of the sale he was given 26,000 shares. "Would, In the name of Justice, such a division be fair or equitable, seeing that Burns put In 816 days prospecting and rking on these claims while Doyle only t In 149 on Battle Mountain?" asked Mr. iith. , Congressman Smith expects to occupy all of Monday with his argument.
