FRANKFORT, KY, February a.
Governor Taylor has been served with
notice OF the suit for an injunction TO
restrain him from interfering with the
action of the legislature and TO prevent
him from holding session of the legis-
lature at London.
Service was secured despite the most
stringent orders OF the sentries TO al
low nobody to pass in or out OF the
Capitol grounds.
Orders to this effect were given early
in the morning, but were revoked later,
and those having passes were allowed
free access to all parts of the capitol
square.
AS soon as word was brought to Gov
ernor Taylor that the petition for the
Injunction had been filed, the orders
were renewed, but they were not re-
newed quick enough, Alonzo Walker,
the stenographer of the Democratic at
torneys. gained entrance to the grounds
before the renewal Of the order and
watching his chance pinned a copy OF
notice on the door Of the executive
mansion. which action constitutes a
legal notice TO Governor Taylor.
Walker was at once placed under ar
rest and is now in the guard house.
