slid over to Leavenwortb, and applied to
Judge Delabay for an injunction restraining
further proceedings in the district court.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Davis served the in
junction upon Judge Morton on the bench.
He listened attentively to the mandate, and
then ordered the counsel to proceed with the
case. When it was intimated to his honor
that an injunction had been served, he mere
ly remarked that che felt competent to pro-
tect his own court" The judge said he
would submit TO no further interference in
the case, and II another United States officer
attempted any arrest Of the court, he would
hand said officer over to the sheriff OF Shaw.
