employed Judge Dester to assist Eugene
Hagan in prosecuting her suit against
the governor. The first blow in the
courts will be struck by Messrs. Hagan
and Dester today, when they will apply
to the supreme court for an injunction
to prevent Mr.. j. W. Free born from
attempting to take Mrs. Leases place
on the board. The proceedings would
have been instituted yesterday but for
the fact that New Years day is legal
holiday. Mrs. Lease leaves for Olathe
for the meeting which was to have been
held at Winfield, but the place was
changed by order of Mrs. Lease The
matter was afterward brought to the
attention of Governor Lewelling. The
