The Supreme Court recently rendered
decision in the celebrated injunction case
of Fletcher against the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe road. An injunction had peen
granted in the New York anC other dis
trict courts at the instance OF Fletcher,
stakeholder, restraining the Santa Fe from
paying the interest OH certain bonds issued
by the Sonora railway, which had Leen
guaranteed by the Santa Fee. The declslon
is, in effect, that the company's guaranty
as to interest on the Sonora bonds was
binding under the laws, and that the court
or Judge should not grant an Injunction IN
an action involving large pecunidry IN
terest without notice, when the party to De
affected thereby is easily accessible, such
injunctions not being in accordance with
the fair and orderly administration OF JUS
tice.

cen, recently attempted suicide at En-

In reply to letter from the Governor
asking if prompt action could not be had
upon all cases of horses afflicted with
CHAMBERS, thereby saving expense TO
owners, State Veterinarian Holcombe an
swered that he fully appreciated the neces-
sity of prompt action where horses hac
been quarantined, but ''the greatest OBJ
stacle in the way of securing the destruc-
tion of animals believed by the owners to
be injected with CHAMBERS is the fact that
all such owners are of the opinion that If
the State Veterinarian condemns the ami
mails in question, they will probably be
compensated in part for the loss sustained.
Still another obstacle is found in the hold
ers of chattel mortgages on infected ami
mails. These mortgages will not consent
to the destruction of the property on which
they have claim until every provision OF
the law is complied with. The majority OF
glandered animals are mortgaged. A
strict compliance with the law requires the
inspection of the suspected animal by the
State Veterinarian, who reports the case
to the sanitary commission. A day OF
hearing is then set, and the owner given
notice, SO that he may appear with such
evidence as he may wish to present. Ii the
commission find the animal diseased as
charged, he is then ordered killed"
