besides carrying on about thirty fine
hens, also stole a large amount Of meat.

THE JONEs-PULITzER CASE.
Decision I'm Favor of the Plaintiff
People Surprised.

ST. LOUIS. MO-. February 17.--Judge
vaillent this morning decided the Jones'
Pulitzer injunction-suit In favor OF the
plaintiff. The Court sets forth reasons
why the temporary Injunction should be
made permanent This does not finally
dispose Of the matter. as an appeal Will
be taken.
The ground Of the action set forth In
the petition OF Plaintiff Jones Is that
the Board Of Directors Of the Pulitzer
Publishing Company were about to de
pose him as editor and manager of the
Dispatch, and he asked an injunc-
ton to restrain them. setting UP a contract
with Joseph Pulitzer as overriding any
action Of the board, who are. he claims.
merely stockholders by courtesy. This
contract records the purchase by Jones
from Pulitzer Of a one-sixth interest in
the Post-Dispatch. and gives Jones the
position Of editor and manager Of tho
paper for five years at a salary OF $4,000
per year.
The defendants say the contract Is per-
sonal between Jones and Pulitzer. and
not binding on the publishing company as
q corporation.
To-day's decision surprises people who
have closely followed the case.

the original conundrum, "Why will it

After pnzzling three minutes over the

J. g. and In. Day were up today IN

pecially incensed at the action of The

was limited is a government inspector,

his person that no one succeeded in hav-

animated conversation ensued. While
assuring him that they cared nothing

The Dalles people cared very little for
the Days, and that The Dalles papers
would continue the battle until the locks
were pounded open. 1t will take con-

was given the newspaper man whatever,
