pervisors who were removed by Mayor
TafeI yesterday, Judge Murphy, of the
Court of Common Pleas, to-day issued an
Injunction restraining the four new ap-
pointees from assuming to exercise the dl-
ties of their office. The court at the same

charging the mayor with contempt of court.
A new complication arose when the COun-
ty Commissioners, in special session, or
dered Sheriff Reichel to take possession of
the building in which is the office of the
Board of Supervisors and oust the police,
on the ground that the premises are coua-
ty and not city property. This was done,
hut the sheriff has gone further and put
everybody out of the supervisors office,
holding the place with his deputies. Mayor
Tafel ordered the police to retake pos

proaches and has even locked the court
house doors opening into the jail yard, in
which the Office of the board is situated.
The sheriff says he is awaiting an order of
court determining who are the riBhtful oc-
cupantS of the office.
