John II. Leyson, administrator of the
Davis estate, yesterday commenced an
injunction suit against the city of Butte
to restrain the latter from constructing
a new sidewalk in front of the property
of the estate at the corner OF Arizona
and Park streets, and Judge Lindsay
granted a temporary restraining order.
The administrator states in his com
plant that there is a store building on
the ground, and IL is a business proper
ty, and that 1t Is necessary to maintain
a sidewalk for a distance of BOG feet.
A suit is pending in court for the par
tition of the property by some claim
ants of the Davis estate, and the plain
tiff has been appointed receiver Of the
real estate in the suit for partition. In
1897 a sidewalk IL feet wide was con-
structed along the whole length Of the
property by the owners under the direc-
ton of the city engineer. sand is in good
condition and repair, and was con-
structed and is maintained in conform
ity with law, and at the expense of the
owners of the property. The defend
ant, through its agents n officers, is
now preparing and threatens to tear
up, remove, displace and destroy the
walk without the consent or permission
of the owners Of the property.sand with
out good cause or reason. For the pur-
pose of carrying out the threats and
intentions of the defendant IL has
caused lumber to be hauled and placed
in front OF the premises with the ex-
press purpose and intention of remov-
ing and displacing the present walk. 1t
Is alleged that in event the intentions
of the city are carried out il will cause
great and unnecessary inconvenience
and expense to the plaintiff. and he will
suffer great and irreparable damage.
and an injunction is therefore asked to
prevent the city from tearing up the
walk or displacing IT. The matter win
come up for hearing before Judge
Lindsay later pm an order TO show
cause.
