THE RACE TRACK WAR.-Judge
Keith came to this city to-day, for the
convenience of all parties concerned,
TO hear the arguments of counsel in
the race track war, in which the Jones;
brothers, owners and lessees of the
Jackson City property, are Of one side
and b. b. Smith, secretary of the Gen
tlemen's Driving Park on the other side.
II app ,ars that Jones brothers leased
property at the south end of the Long
bridge and undertook to establish q
race track. Within the premises leased
by Jones was a small parcel Of land
held, under lease, by a negro named
Green. Jones claims to have pur-
chased Green's lease-hold, but later
Smith obtained from Green a written
assignment of his lease and asserted
ownership. Jones's attorneys sued out
an injunction restraining Smith from
interfering with Jones's operations, and
the question considered by the court
to-day was upon motion by Smiths
attorneys to dissolve the injunction.
Jones brothers were represented by
Col. F. L. Smith and Mr.. Edmund
Burke and Mr. Smith was represented
Messrs. John II. Greene, John NJ.
Johnson, and G. c. Carlin. NJ
merous afidavits were filed and after
lengthy arguments by counsel the
court refused TO dissolve the injunc-
ton. Mr.. Smith, under this de-
cision, is restrained from interfering
with Jones, but has an OF portuniiy
for filing his suit at law for the
recovery and possession of the
parcel of land in dispute. The
arguments in the case were heard
at the office of Col. Smith and much
interest was manifested by the friends
of the respective litigants to learn the
outcome of the trial. 1t is understood
that Ne SIS. Jones will proceed at once
to complete the improvements they
had begun.
In the case of B. B. Smith, VS.. Jones
aud others, the injunction awarded by
Judge Barton against the Jones brothers
was dissolved. The result of the decis-
ion of Judge Keith III the two cases is Il
complete victory for the Joneses.
