INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.

A temporary injunction restraining
Rabbit Bros. from using their new
brick store building on Corunna Ave-
Owosso, for any purpose in connec-
ton with the meat and grocery bust
ness that they conduct next door, was
granted Gustave and Emma Bahlke
by Judge Miner in the Circuit Court,
Saturday afternoon. In their decla-
ration the plaintiffs allege that on Feb.
., 1910, they leased their grocery and
meat business to the brothers, be-
cause Mr.. Bahlke was in i'll health.
The new proprietors were to have he
privilege of releasing the property
for three years more, if they were
satisfied after the II months had ex
pred. This they did, the plaintiffs
say, but meanwhile they have pur
chased the lot that. adjoins their
present location on the west. and
have erected modern store build
ing, using it for a store room, until
their contract with Mr.. Bahlke shall
expire, Feb. 9, 1914. The injunction
issued by Judge Miner restraints them
from doing even this. A hearing will
be given the case in the near future.

JAP BUTLER IS
 REARRESTED ON ANOTHER CHARGE
University Club Attendant,
 Caught Pilfering Money,
 Now Accused of Stealing Valuable Fur Coat. <

Constantly growing more gloomy IS the outlook for K. Nakamura, the suave little Japanese attendant at the University Club, who was arrested last night for the theft of, money from the pockets of the members. Arraigned in the city court this morn ing with his case continued under $2O0 bonds until Monday on that charge, Nakamura was then taken to the office of Prosecuting Attorney Delaney and rearrested on another charge, this time that of theft of fur-lined Overcoat valued at $15O, from Attorney John T. Hubbard. who resides at the club.
 For several weeks members of the University Club have noticed that their pocket books seemed to be "short," after having reposed in their overcoats in the cloak room of the club. In no case did the thief make a clean sweep but just helped him. self to a greenback or two. probably expecting that the loss would be over- ed. s
 Several of the members got to- gether on the question and yesterday afternoon Police Electrician Sheridan Ladd was called up to the club and stationed in the cloak room.
 The officers watch was soon re- warded when the little Japanese butt Ter slipped into the room, took a pocketbook out of coat and helped himself to a $5 marked bill. He was immediately arrested
 In the city court this morning Nakamura was arraigned on the charge of theft and bonds fixed at $20O for his appearance on Monday He was busily arranging to secure the bonds when his plans were inter- rupted by Prosecutor Delaney who issued another warrant, charging Nakamura with the theft of Attorney Hubbard's overcoat, and fixing bonds of s1,0OO additional on this charge, making $1,2OO in all, which the little Jap probably will be unable to fur nish.
 Nakamura is one of the recent ar rivals in the clubs staff of employees. His former address was 169 West 159th street New York. @
