The Town Council, on Tuesday night
last, refused TO recede from its action
requiring the removal of the county
stable in rear of the Courthouse, and
Capt George Baylor, attorney for the
county, proceeded TO Martinsburg on
Wednesday and secured an injunction
from Judge Hoge, restraining the cor
porate authorities from interfering with
the county property. The matter ac-
cordingly, we presume, will be made a
matter for legal decision.

window at which Mrs. Osburn was
seated was shattered by missile. No
harm was sustained by any one, but it
was a very narrow escape of Mrs. 0.
The event created quite sensation in
the cars.
