Saturdays Divorce Cases.
Sixty cases were on yesterdays special
term of the district court, twenty of which
were continued and six stricken from the
calendar The hearing of the petition of
the North American Telegraph company
for temporary injunction restraining the
Western Union Telegraph company from
taking down wires belonging to the petit
toner occupied the afternoon. Last Sun
day force of men under the direction of
the Western Union were engaged in remov-
ing wires from the poles in front of the
chamber of commerce, the right to use
which the petitioner claims to
have acquired from the American District
Telegraph company. The court finally
granted the injunction, placing the bonds
at So, 600. Judge Lochren said that the
defendant company did not appear to have
an exclusive right to the poles, and that the
American District Telegraph company
seemed to have an equal right which it
could transfer to the plaintiff. The fact
that the defendant undertook to tear down
the wires on Sunday was itself suspicious.
LII the law gave no precedent for restraining
such actions until the rights Of the parties
had been determined it is well that one
should be established. A stipulation was
entered into to try the case at the April
term.
