was inches deep. and the cloud that arose
from the animals hoofs and was waited
by the wind through the open windows OF
the Adventists dwelling was dense enough
to obscure the surrounding scenery. The
Adventist visited the court and had the
boy enjoned from thus proceeding, but
the court held that the father could swear
to his hearts content as long as he re-
mained on his own ground TO do so, and
the roadway was on his farm.
Men have been enjoned from speaking
to their wives. An Omaha youth was once
prevented by injunction from showing to
others or making public letter written
to him by his sweetheart. A Farnam street
photographer was prevented from placing
on exhibition in his showcase on the street
the photograph OF certain young woman
customer whose likeness made such
capital advertisement that the photogra pher

In the early days a civil engineer copy
righted a map OF Douglas county and then
few years later enjoined a rival firm
from publishing similar map. Tha at
torneys OF the rival shrewdly contended in
court that In the very nature OF things
the rivers and creeks and farms and bridges
must always have the same position and
therefore that any man had a perfect right
to make map OF them. BY way of answer
1t was maintained that the civil engineer
had been at great expense in making the
actual surveys, while the defendants map
was a servile imitation. The decision Of
the corut was against the imitators.
There Is an interesting point in connec-
tion with the value of an injunction in
protecting copyrights and that is that the
law will not uphold one who seeks to enjoin
rivals from imitation when his publication
impugns the doctrines OF the scriptures.
This was brought out in suit by pub
Usher, in whose book the existence OF the
Creator was denied. 1mitators were allowed
to publish a similar work. as It was held
that men who bring suit must come into
court with clean hands.
Restraints "a Giddy wife.
The court records bear the memoranda
of restraining order secured by man
to prevrct his wife from attending a ball
with another man. II was obtained on a
showing by the husband that the wife was
endangering not only her good name but
that of the family by her constant atten-
tions to this man. Among the old files
there is another case OF a wife who en-

tells of a time when a circus was enjoined
from pitching its tents on a certain lot by
the man who lived next door, a piece OF
spite work growing out of the refusal OF
the advance agent to rent a parcel of land
belonging to the relator. 1t was contended
that the circus drew a crowd and was the
cause OF great noise. The court held that
the drawing of crowd was not sufficient
cause for making restraining order per-
petual, but that the noise was good ground.
In the same connection is mentioned
case that holds the record for oddity. 1t
took place twelve years ago aud as the
incident is remarkable only as a story the
names OF the people concerned are omitted.

ings. Next door lived a man who loved to
sleep long on Sunday mornings. He OBJ
jected strenuously to the clamor OF the
bells on the Sabbath, pleading that he had
to work hard through the week and that
he ought to be allowed to sleep on the
only day he had to himself. He asked the
church deacons to refrain from ringing the
bell, but they declined to do so. Then the
man who loved sleep more than the music
from the belfry visited the courts and sue
ceeded in having the court issue a per-
manent injunction preventing the ringing
Of the bells in the morning.
