scene and bought the grocery stock, in
order to get the room for a clothing
store, assuming the lease. Later latter
parties tried to get lease for shorter
time, repudiating the long term lease.
Corrough threatens suit for forcible
entry and detainer. Urdanger and
Greenberg then sued for temporary writ
of injunction to restrain plaintiff from
action. Injunction granted Corough
