der dissolving the injunction granted

and in the meantime the town au-
thorities must o exercise any juris-
diction over the territory outside of the
former corporate limits. Bond Vas
given on Friday by the plaintiffs, and
Clerk r. A. FlesAer is making up the
record. He is meeting with some diff
ficuBty, however, as two or three i'm
portant exhibits are said TO be lost,

last January by order of the council.

list were dead years ago, others had
long left the county, and still others
had been counted two or three times,

dissolving of the injunction and the
clause excepting the proposed new
territory seemed to bother both par
ties, but On Friday the charter people
solved the question by proceeding to
business, and six saloons were opened
none in the First ward. Friday
