JUDGE DENIES A MEETING
Of Tno Defendants h Miuiimotli Salt
Ah Constituting1 u Quorum of
1 the Abilene Central
Directorate.
From Tuesday Dally;
Another significant and declslvo
step that may tend to throw a power-
ful influence over the final disposal
of the cast's pending in District court
) against Morgan Jones D T. Bomar
and the Abilene & Southern railway
has been taken.
During the noon hour today Dis-
trict Judge Blanton granted to tho lo-
cal railroad committee an Important
concession In the form of an injunc-
tion restraining Morgan Jones and D.
T. Bomar from directly or indirectly
doing anything to hinder tho progress
df the Abilene Central road. Further-
more the court forbade Colonel Jones
and Mr. Bomar to go into session and
conduct business as the Abilene Cen-
tral Btfard of Directors.
The ne'xt natural move on tho part
of Colonel Jones would be to spolc to
have the injunction dissolved. If this
should for any cause bo granted tho
railroad committee would in all 11k-
lihood carry tho matter to the higher
courts.
iThe peUtlon to Judgo Blanton was
presented by J. M. Wagstaff and Judgo
Henry Sayles senior member of tue
firm of Sayles & Sayles counsels for
the plaintiff in the forthcoming Bults.
Neither Mr. Jones nor Mr. Bomar
were present In the courtroom when
the injunction was granted.
Various members of the railroad
committee interviewed today on the
j above matter expressed gratlficntI6u
at the result and confidence in the
road's being built strictly according
to contract within the near future.
The following uro the allegations
set forth In the petitions filed with the
District Clerk ofTaylor county Texas
in instituting suit' against Morgan
Jones et al by the members of tho
Ablleno railroad committee et al in
hlhiself to furnish all remainder of
money necessary for construction of
railway and to complete snino 'within
eighteen months thoroaflor
Plaintiffs further show that thoy had
performed their pait of contract and
paid their part of the money and
stand ready and willing to pay tholr
part of entire cost of road.
That dcbfndant Jones has violated
his agreement to furnUh money to car
ry on building of road and has refused
to pay In money which ho agreed to
do which tho plalutlffs al
logo to bo thd sum of $1000000 tho
total coast of road being tho Bum of
$1100000 arid tho plaintiffs allege
that they are ready to begin Vorlc on
said road and tQ enrry out tho under-
taking and -that tho defendant's part
of tho money to carry out said under
taking is $1000000 and tho ho has re-
fused to furnish samp which said
money is necessary and Is required to
complcto said road and plaintiffs sue
