Government by injunction has been
made use Of very frequently in Den
yer, and by this means the city gov
ernment has often been forbidden to
! Interfere with parties who were appar-
I emily breaking the law. Now, for the
first time In the history Of this city,
the authorities have decided to test the
power Of the District Court to inter-
fere with them In this way. shortly
before o'clock last Friday evening
Attorney o. n. Hilton, counsel for
Dick Carberry. lessee Of the old Cen
tral theater on Market street, appeared
before Judge p. l.. Palmer Of the Dis
trict Court with complaint for an in.
junction. The document stated that
the promoters desired to conduct an
evening OF various events, including
songs. dances. boxing. wrestling, etc.
and that the entertainment would be
consonant with law and decency. The
police authorities have threatened to
arrest the ringleadefs " the prize fight
were pulled OF. and to bring the even
Ing to an abrupt close, the court was
asked to grant an Injunction restrain
Ing the Fire and Police Board and the
the event. The desired writ was grant
ed. The fact became known to the
Fire and Police Board and 1t held a
prOtracted session last night. at which
warm criticism was directed towards
the court for apparently sanctioning a
violation Of the city ordinances which
the members are sworn to enforce. The
action Of the court was looked upon as
an usurpati0n Of the functions OF the
board. no permit having been issued
by the board for the affair. The issues
seemed very clear TO the members and
after q prolonged sessiOn they con-
cluded that there remained but one &C
ton, namely. to test the authority Of
the courts to govern the city by in
junction. Therefore. ut 10 O'Clock.
Captain Martyr Of the Police Depart
ment was ordered TO stop the fight at
all hazards and to take suffcient
number of men with him to enforce
lac order. The contest was stopped and
all parties implicated were arrested.

said: ut Is the law that no exhibition
Of this kind shall be given without u

"and II courts will issue injunctions
on request, there is nothing to prevent

declining to take out license and pro-
curing an injunction to restrain the
board from interfering with II. We in
tend no disrespect TO the court. but We
believe that u test must be made and
that this is good time to make II. The
board IL unanimous In the stand"
