train reached Hillsboro, the sheriff called
the brakeman and made him open the
door, when 10. the Jail birds were gone.
They had made their escape through the

very good time.

An Injunction.

There are two kinds the courts tell You
"a temporary and a permanent injunc-
ton. A temporary injunction gives re-
lief for time only, but when you take

manent injunction. It's the same when

stomach and tnat the throat sensation is
kind of reflex action.
