John Conlon, who left here some
weeks ago for Denver, has got into
trouble. The Rocky Mountain News
tells about it:
The control Of a womau's affections
is mot 70 be subject to government BY
injunction. So Judge Mullins De
cided yesterday when petition for
an injunction in one Of the strangtss
cases ever presented in the district
court was turned down after . short
hearing. Yesterday forenoon an At
torney, whose name Judge Mullins
declined to divulge, presented . COM
plant in which . restraining order
was asked, to prevent . man from
holding communication with or call
ing on . young woman. The basis Of
the request was laid on = contract
made BY the parties to the suit, in
which the defendant Is alleged to have
agreed to assist the plaintiff in bis
suit for a young womau's favor For
his services he accepted 80.
The petitioner for the injunction,
John Conlon, is . hostler employed
in a livery stable on Market street
The defendant, Charles Richards, is
said to be q hsngeron around the
gambling house Of Charles Segale at
Lawrence and Nineteenth streets.
Conlun alleges "that on or about
February 70, for valuable consider
alton, to. wit, SO, paid to the defend
ant, Richards, the latter agreed and
contracted to introduce him to one,
Miss Eta Rice, described by the de-.
iendant as q 'swell,'" Conlon naive
lily allows that he has but lately come
from Abilene, Kansas, and is unused
to city ways. He gave over bis slo
and then waited for Richards to per-
form his part Of the contract. The
purpose OF the contract, Conlon al
leges, was matrimony and, further,
that Richards knew Of bis intentions.
The presentation Of Conlon to the
young lady was had at the masquer'
sde ball given at East Turner hall by
the fraternal order Of Eagles, and
here is what Conlon says about the
affair: "That in truth and in fact
the said Eta Rice was as described BY
the defendant, swell and this
; plaintiff, further relying upon the
representations Of the said defendant
did press his suit and received such
encouragement from the said Eta
Rice as led this plaintiff to expend
much money at that time and since
: But the ingratitude and faithless
ness Of the false friend now enter
!, upon the peaceful dream Of love en-
: joyed by Conlon for SO brief a while
lean bis efforts" be says, ito secure
= the favor Of the said Eta Rice hav'
been rendered iruitless BY the ma
'|licious int, ferences and unwarrantet
: attacks made on the character ant
; personality Of this plaintiff by tn
. said Richards, who at divers time
: and places referred to him sneeringly
: contemptuously and slightingly as
sRube,' a farmer, ETC., all OF which
caused the young woman to grow
cold to the plaintiff.
Conlon finally asks that Richard
n may be enjoinod from interfering
with or calling on the woman. II hi
9 could secure such an order, he says
Il "the purposes Of the contract herein
9 before mentioned would be brough
q to a successful conclusion.
Judge Mullins declined to sign tn
" order and Conlon will have to tax
: his chances without the aid OF th
i courts.
