Attorney Thomas Barrett gave no.
tice at Circuit Court to-day that he
was preparing motion to dissolve
I the injunction in the case of the
| Grant heirs VS.. Burge.
| The injunction was obtained against
Burge restraining and inhibiting hin
from collecting one-siXteenth of the
i royalty on the Grant lease This
/ lease, it will be remembered, under .
decree of the court, was put up al
public auction in front of the Court
House several years ago by ID. T. c
Farrow. guardian of the minor Gran
heirs. This was early in the oil eX-
! element in the Henderson, field The
bidding was spirited and the lease
was finally sold to Smick & Morris
at a stiff bonus and a $50 month
rental The farm has been developed
and there are now ten producing wells
on it, the royalty interest amounting
to considerable.
The motion to dissolve will be
heard on answer to the bill. The
matter is purely question of law.
