decision by Judge Carter will be rem
dered until court re-convenes January

in Mariana for the holidays and con-
sequently will not pass upon the mo-
ton until he returns and opens court

was heard last week in the court
upon quo warranto or custer proceed
ings. and some twenty-three witnesses
were heard. When the testimony and

verdict in favor of the REALTORS In
doing so he stated that it was within
the jurisdiction of the court to in
struct the jury as to the verdict, and
in a case of this nature he had ex-
ercised this privilege.
