The gridiron was soft and mushy, the
result of the rain, but it has been put

Brown team came ON the field for the pre-
liminsry practice, for ne"warming up"
il was noticed that her men were not in

appointed ad administrator on her estate,
and as power of attorney, was given
Samuel Bottomley to act as agent for the
property, he called to collect rents, pay
taxes and the interest on the half of the
premises in question owned by Mrs. Nor
rison In her life time.

tomly held the mortgage on the two lots
and houses conveyed 10 him, and adver-
tissd the property for sale under said
mortgage, the sale TO take place on the
9TH inst. But this sale was prevented by
the preliminary injunction referred to
above. The estate is worth more than
$4,000, according TO the testimony of w.
ID. Harris, q real estate broker in the town
where 1t is situated and is assessed for
that sum by the Johnston board OF
tax assessors.
The bill asked that the temporary in
junction might be made permanent and
that the plaintiff might, on the payment
OF $500, have the mortgage Cancelled on
the portion OF the property belonging to
the Morrison heirs.
The court ruled that IA the mortgage
was on both estates this could not be done.
The alternative relief asked for was
that on the payment OF $500 to Bottom
ly he might be oruered 20 deliver up the
mortgage note and cancel the deed.
Wood and Fitch were the attorneys for
the copmlainants and Cooke and Angel
for the ~defendantss.
Mr.. Cooke did not contest the facts
recited In the bill but asked who would
pay the costs " the court granted the al
ternatiye relief asked for.
Judge Stiness granted the alternate re-
lief asked for by the complainant, en-
joined the sale, and decreed that the re-
spondent should pay the costs. So that
on the payment OF 5000 Mr.. Bottomly will
have to give up the mortgage note and
