An INDUCTION Wanted.

MARION, Sept. 25.-Two months ago Grant
county issued and sold $4,000 of free gravel
road bonds at a premium. The money was
ceived into the treasury, and at this time over
onehaif has been paid out for building the roads.
Last evening the United States marshal served
notice ON the county commissioners that certain
holders of the earlier issues of Grant county
bonds issued to build the new courthouse bad
applied TO the Federal Court for an injunction
TO prevent payment of the interest and prnci
pal of these last era ve-road bonds, because the
amount already outstanding of the Oldest issued
exceeded the constitutional limit OF per cent.
The case causes great excitement among the cit
liens, who deeply regret the situation the coun-
ty finances have got into. AS the county has
exceeded its constitutional limit now over S76,
COO, it looks as ii the holders of the last issue
will ba losers. The parties asking for this in
junction reside III Massachusetts.
