The Late Injunction. szs53
The recent injunction against the
City of Fairmont is now numbered
with the deceased. 1t will be sremem-
bered that an Injunction was granted
by Judge Jackson restraining the city
authorities from interfering in any
way with the sacred concert at the
Grand Opera House on Sunday a few
months ago The matter was placed
wholly in the handsGof Mayor KinseyI
by the council and he reported on it |
last night. He is authority for the4t
statement that compromise has beenSf
effected and the Injunction dismissed.st
The city's part of the costs wilfsf
amount to only about $50 or s35. This
is getting off rather easily. SOM

that the money might have remained
in the city's treasury
