Sheriff Charles Woolery. Of King cpnnty.
this morning served on Capt Caxpsnter
an injunction issued by the superioe aourt
yesterday, restraining the United Dtates
troops from interfering with tAe osading
of the railroad through the ssosYyation.
He was cordially received BY Cqp& Car
.penter, who remarked:
Twas after you yesterday. and yoa 1Isse got
me today.
Then he opened up fresh box of efGars
and dispatched sergeant foe = - Of

The injunction was not enforced to the
extent Of causing the troops to desert their
nice camping ground on the point. During
the morning the soldiers and Indians
dug clans playfulIy on the beach and
prepared for Manuel Douette's clam bake
in honor OF the peavey gang. At 4 O'Clock
the clans were served. There was much
horseplay and merrymaking. and in the
meantime Deputy Sheriff Woolery had
gone the rounds and served. or tried to
serve. notice on all the parties. including
Agent Eels. named in the injunction.
If Capt. Carpenter makes reply 10 the
injunction it IS believed that he will cite
the fact that he Is United States soldier
and cannot be handled by the state courts.
This. il is expected, would throw the mat

Of the case. Today the grading on the
reservation went on as usual. There are
about thrty-fve or forty men at work,
and they and the soldiers are having as
good n time as the weather and circum-
stances will permit
Word was sent out secretly from Capt
Carpenters camp tonight that he would
not pay any attention 10 the superior
cour. injunction of King county, but
would go ahead and prevent grading jus,
as he did yesterday. Some Of his men re-
sent the report in the Posr-iSTEILIaENcER
that the peavey gang got them on the hip
by roliing logs down hill. All such claim
