denied the mandamns order requiring
Judge Rose to show cause why he should

was issued, Attorney Ball secured an
injunction restraining the sale of the
company's lands to satisfy the judgment.

should have been taken instead of ap-
plying for a mandamus order as was
done.

to complimentary ticket which I shall
certainly use, as I understand Mr..
Baskerville is an able and very estimable
man.
