Rev. Biggs is strongly opposed to dancing, and after failing In his efforts to have the young people call off the dance scheduled for tonight, he went before Judge Towner, of the district court, and secured an Injunction restraining the lodge from permitting the hall to be used for dancing purposes, contending that th c building ' was' unsafe. : All arrangements for the ball had been completed, and the young men promoting the event, determined to carry out their plans, employed experts to examine the building and-report as to its safety. The report of the experts was satisfactory to the dance promoters, and, armed "with this evidence, they went before Judge Towner and had . the injunction dissolved in time to hold the dance. *=•* Rev. Biggs has been one of the leaders in an attempt to discourage dancing among the young people here, and a few years ago he came * near being successful by securing the . services of Evangelist Billy Sunday, who remained here two - weeks ~_ and! obtained -so many additions ;to ; the churches . from among the younger. set '.tiuttit'-wA.< lm- possible Ito find enough young people to give a dance for two or three years.
