BOHEMIAN WANTS INJUNCTION
Acts as Interpreter for Friend and
Gets Into Trouble.

A suit for injunction was filed in
by John Lack against NJ. NJ. Slagle.
The application for a restraining or
der was made for the purpose of
preventing the defendant from dis
posing of six notes of 500 each and
to require him to produce them in
court upon final hearing for the
purpose of having them cancelled.
Among the allegations made by La
elk is one to the effect that he acted
as interpreter for one Jurik, who
sold certain tract of land to the
defendant, and by reason of said
land deal some dispute arose as to
the quantity of land conveyed by
Jurik to Slagle. Lack AYERS he had
no interest in the land conveyed,
but Slagle claimed he had misrepre-
scented things and called upon him
to make good the amount claimed
by Slagle of Jurik. The plaintiff al
leSeS tnaI ne ana MS WlIe were
frightened into conveying to Slagle
60.9 acres of land out of their home
stead for consideration that was
falsely and incorrectly stated there
in; that in fact there was no consid-
Grafton. The land was then recon
veyed to Lacik and wife by Slagle
| for a consideration of $4,623; that
of this amount $3,663 was in cash
and six notes of 500 each were ex-
ecuted for the remainder.
A temporary writ of injunction
has been ordered issued by District
! Judge Hawkins. The case will come
up for final hearing at the February
term of court.
