| had heretofore assembled 20 the city
hall In Frankfort, and when assembling
| there In the discharge Of their duty
| they were again met by soldiers aud
| prevented from entering the city hall.
They then attempted 10 assemble at
| the court house IN said city, and were
| again met by the military under the
| control Of the defendant and the adj
| jutant- general and forbidden TO enter
that building for any purpose whatever.
| They further say the seat Of govern
ment had not become dangerous from
an enemy or from any contagion. nor
] had II become dangerous from any
| cause whatever save and except from
| the lawlessness engendered and brought
| about by the defendants own unlawful
| and wrongful acts, and but FOR the said
| unlawful and wrongful acts, Of the de
| PENDANT, perfect peace and quiet would
| have reigned and prevailed al Frank
fort the seat OF government Of this
commonwealth But they say that even
| II these allegations in reference 70 the
danger at the seat Of the government
were not true, stlll these plaintiffs have
not disagreed and the two houses Of the
| general assembly have not disagreed
with reference TO the time Of adjourn,
ment or as TO the place OF meeting Of
the general assembly.
They further say that II is given
| out In speeches by those In military
command under the said Taylor that
no meeting Of the general assembly at
any place within the State Of Ken
| lucky shall be held for the purpose OF
dlscharglng their legislative duties ex-
| cept at London, Laurel county, Ky.
| That the regular session OF the legisla-
ture began on the first Tuesday after
| the first Monday In January. 1900 and
| under the laws and constitution OF the
State ends within co judicial days and
| such has been the exercise OF this un-
warranted and tyrannical power on the
| part Of the defendant that Il Is impos-
sibe for those plaintiffs or any OF them
TO discharge their official duties.
They further say that the defend
| ants are threatening TO continue their
| aforesaid unlawful acts and TO pre-
! vent the assembling Of the legislature
! Of Kentucky for the transaction OF pub.
| lie business, and unless they are re-
strained and enjoined by this honorable
court they Will prevent the assembling
Of the legislature and the transaction
OF the public business for the common
wealth.
THAT II the defendant IL permitted
TO continue in the exercise Of these UNI
lawful acts. they allege and state great
and irreparable injury win result not
only to the state, but To these plaint-
ms That his acts and dolngs are In
plain violation OF the constitution OF
the rights Of each and an OF these
plaintiffs. and destructive Of that de-
partment OF the government that Is
entrusted with the sole power Of pass
ing and enacting such laws as may be
deemed best for the public interest.
They therefore ask an immediate in
junction enjoining and restraining the
defendants and all others from femnv-
ing or attempting to remove this legis.
lative body TO the city Of London or
elsewhere than the capitol OF Frank
fort, and furthermore that the defend
ants and all others be eniUinel ana res
trained from preventing by force,
military or otherwise, the plaintiffs
from entering into the public building
ki own as the State house IN order that
they may discharge their official duties
To their constituents and 10 the State.
"They further state that n1-preyious
Injunction has been asked for granted
or refused by any Judge or court or
any ono Csc authorized 10 gract an m.
junction,
"They agert that under the facts If
this case they are entitled 70 immediate
relief restraining the commission OF the
continuance OF these usurped powers
by the defendant and those who claim
to net under his order.
wherefore, they pray for an immed'-
ate Injunction against the said Taylor
and Collier and for all other proper and
equitable relief.

TAYLOR is SERVED.
Gov. Taylor has been served with no.
tice Of the suit for an injunction to re-
strain him from interfering with the
action Of the legislature and TO prevent
him from holding a session Of the leg
islature ct London. Service was Sc
cured despite the most stringent orders
TO the santrles to allow nobody TO pass
In or out OF the capitol grounds. Orders
10 this effect were given early IN the
morning, but were revoked later, and
those having passes were allowed free
access 10 all parts OF the capitol square.
AS soon as word was brought TO Gov.
TAYLOR that the petition for the intunc-
tion had been filed the orders were re-
newed. but they were not renewed quick
enough. Alfonso Walker, the stenOgraph-
er OF the Democratic attorneys, gained
entrance 10 the grounds before the re-
newal Of the order, and watching his
chance pinned a copy 81 the notice on
the door OF the executive mansion
which action constitutes legal notice
10 Gov. Taylor Walker was at once
placed under arrest and Is now IN the
guard house IL Is announced that a
special session OF the legislature will
be held at o'clock I'm the Capitol hotel
and there are rumors that all those who
take part in the meeting will be placed
under arrest and taken 20 London
No confirmation OF this story can be
obtained. and II IL probably only q ru-
NOR as far as arrests at the afternoon
meeting are concerned.
