Burton and w.. c. Tender son from the operation of a gravel pit which has been supplying gravel to . s1.Bo0 bond. which was made by the petitioners.
 The petition requesting the restrain ing order sets out Allegations that !. M. Mitchell and c. M Mitchell were operating sand and gravel pit for the use of the county, and that Roquemore and Hall for the consideration of s1oo paid in cash, and further cash pay msnt on April I. together with. q note of $500 due at the expiration of nine- ty days were to take over the opera ton of the gravel pit. together with the contract with the county of Mont gomery.
