Townsend Files Injunction Against
Man With Ak.

A. c. Gon) Townsend asked the district
court this morning to enjoin w r
George, township trustee of Menokeu
township. from cutting four big cotton
wood trees that stand just outside the
Townsend property south of Menoken sta
tion in the edge of the road. The trees
the plaintiff says, are an ornament to his
farm, and the destruction of them would
be an irreparable injury.
Townsend says when he bought tae
farm the trees were included in the place
standing just inside the fence. Late
when he had survey made, he found his
fence was five feet too far east, AID
moved it back, leaving the trees Just out
side He urges that there is ample room
for the highway past the trees, and that
the trustees do not need the room the
road at that point being 40 feet wide
A temporary injunction, restraining the
proposed cutting or the trees, was signed
