In district court yesterday Judge Jag
gard sustained the demurrer of the park
board to the injunction asked by the
workhouse commissioners to prevent the
park commissioners from running a road
through the workhouse tract that is
claimed by the park board. An imme-

matter can be taken to the supreme

demurrer the court remarked that the
