Chiet Justice Matteson this morning
heard the motion for q preliminary in
junction In behalf of Chsrles L. Doty,
who has filed a bill In equity against

agent in the shce business. Goodwin's
attorney admitted that the lease OF the
store was in Horizons name, but claimed
the shce business IL run Dy ooou"ih s"u

effect.
The complsinants bill alleges that Good

with he name OF the White Shoe store

opening Of the White Shoe store witt
Herbert s. Horton as manager, the de
feadant Goodwin had signs put up anS

that the name went with the store, ant
that they have a perfect right to use ant
