Judge Quinn Issues an Order in the
Case of Azella Smith.

An order was received from Judge
Quinn this morning, and filed, direct
ing Sheriff Donabue to refrain from
taking further steps toward ousting
the plaintiff from the premises occu-
pied bv1 her during the twenty days
stay granted after lie had fled his
order in the case of Azella f. Smith
VS.. w. A. Funk. for and in behalf of
Carl Oleson. In the order, Judge Quinn
states that the application for the or
der to show cause why the sheriff
should not be enjoined from further
proceedings TO GUST the plaintiff from
the premises is based entirely Upon the
annexed affidavits, which. in his opin.
ion, fail to show a condition Of facts
which would warrant the court to III.
tcrfere by injunction iii the premises.
The stay having been ordered, he could
see no particular harm which might
follow were the sheriff to refrain from
taking any further steps to enforce
the execution now in his hands, and
which was issued before the stay was
granted. Because of this, and to the
end that the plaintiff may be given an
opportunity to take such steps as she
may be advised, the court orders the
sheriff to refrain from further pro.
cecdihgs.
This permits Mrs. Smith to remain
in undisturbed possession until the
twenty days have expired.
