Litigation at Pioneer Quarry.

J. NJ. and J. H. Howell, of Sa-
lem, have sued Geo. w. and Geo.
E. Davis, as the firm of Davis &
Son, for a breach of contract and
for damages. The suit is brought
in the district court of Marion
county, and the litigation is over
the Pioneer sandstone quarry at
Pioneer in this county. 1t is al
legged by the plaintiffs that they
leased the Pioneer sandstone quarry
to Messrs. Davis & Son, who agreed
to operate it and 20 pay a rental
therefor a certain royalty on the
stone sold. They claim that this
contract has been broken by Messrs.
Davis & Son, and that the latter
have ceased working the quarry
and have opened up new ledge
and are selling the stone from the
same under the name of "Pioneer
Sand Stone" which name the
plaintiffs allege is their duly regis
tered trade mark.
A temporary injunction was
asked restraining Davis & Son
from using the name of "Pioneer
Sand Stone" for any stone but that
taken from the ledge of Howell
Son.
