HEAR THEIR STORY.
Judge Hazen Listens to Evil
dence Against Book Trust.

The hearing of the application for a
temporary injunction to restrain the
American Book company from doing
business was begun before Judge Hazen
in the district court at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The case was brought on the relation
of Galen Nichols, county attorney, and
the court is asked to restrain the COM
pany from filing the contracts given
the company by the state text book
commission on the ground that the con-
tracts are void for the reason that the
company had no right to do business
in the state at the time the contracts
were made.
G. C. Clemens stated the case for the
prosecution. He said that the attorneys
for the prosecution expected to prove
by letters written to G. G. Burton by
the American Book company that the
company had a scheme for different
companies to bid according to a slate
and that Burton. as the agent of the
