Decision Rendered in a Famous Suit at
Santa Rosa.

OecISlon hendereu IN n EamOuS suit at
Santa Rosa.
SANTA Rosa, June 30.-Judge Craw-
ford rendered a decision in the famous
suit of Senator J. w. Ragsdale versus f.
G. Nagle to-day. About three years ago
Nagle, who had been abstracting, convey
ancing and searching records for many
years in SonOma County, sold out his
good will and business to Ragsdale and
Ill. c. Brown, the agreement stipulating
that Nagle was not again to engage in
business as long as Ragsdale or Brown,
or either of them, continued in business.
Ragsdale and Brown paid Nagle $1,000
for the deal, and for time employed
Magic as searcher for them.
In April, 1891, Nagle opened an office
within a few feet Of Ragsdale's Office, and
advertised that he was again in the busi-
ness. Ragsdale brought suit to enforce
the contract and to recover damages
Nagle maintained that the contract was
in restraint of trade, and therefore illegal;
that Ragsdale & Brown had gone out of
business when Brown sold his interest to
another party, and that he (Nagle) was
no longer held by the contract.
Judge Crawford ruled against Nagle
on every point. He held that Ragsdale
is entitled to have Nagle restrained by in
junction for continuing business, and to
recover judgment for 1913 and costs Of
