accepted by both sides at l O'Clock.
After two days the attorneys In the
Jere Dunn murder trial succeeded In
securing q full panel of jurors before

In intelligence and standing In the
community. The opening arguments
will be made to morrow and the tax
ing of testimony begun.
In the circuit court this forenoon
Judge Morgan granted a temporary
injunction to restrain the erection of
a building on the lake front of this
city by the socialists, under a license
granted by the city council. The
title to the lake front property has
been In litigation many years, being
claimed respectively by government
scrip hold RS, the state of Illinois and
city Ct Chicago. The present suit Ia
brought to compel the removal of the
exposition, military armories aad and
other building already erected, and
to confne the Illinois Central railroad
company within the limits of its
original grant and from attempting to
seiz, submerged lands. The tenn.
porary II junction only prevents the
erection OF any additional buildings.
In ten years. litigation this Is stated
to be the first decision given and it Ia
thought now that the title to the
lands, whose value runs into millions,
Is In q fair way of settlement.
