Injunction proceedings were resorted q to and Fitzmaurice triumphed again Then the case was called c second time 10 the Distric, Court on another issue. Fitzmaurice lost, and the issue went to the highest tribunal in the Territory. which gave judgment to Poland
 The COW and calf were appraised at ! the sum of S75, and deal was made for them by Poland who agreed te furnish Fitzmaurice cord sond in that amount. The trouble started ou the delivery of the wood.
 A review of the two years of lega strife, shows that before the case i, settled, Mir. Fitsmaurice had passed away. dying several months ago The little calf has grown 10 maturity, and had sn increase ot call about sil months ago. The origln4l mother O the herd still lives and is said to be ( good milker. The costs that hsyt piled up sirce the first suit was insti tuted reach over $500, becoming the main issue, and this does not include what the four attorneys in the ease were paid.
