chased a lot in the Crescent addition of A.

that the placing of the ~house on the lot
would interfere with the operation of the
lease. After the house had stood on the
street for nearly month Burgess decided
the lot back to Schaeffer and he, in turn,
decided to Burgess another adjoining the
one against which there was an injunction
Soon after last midnight Burgess started
the work of moving his house on his new
