TAKE BANK
CASE ITO The
FED. COURT

Refused an injunction in the dis
trict court Of Grady county in the case
involving the collection Of taxes from
the Chickasha banks, Attorney +. E.
Riddle has gone to the federal court
asking for the same in behalf of the
national banks, while in the case Of
the state bank he has appealed to the
state supreme court.
Mr. Riddle, representing the banks
and Oscar Simpson and Alger Melton,
representing the county and Treasur-
Cloud went to MusKogee last night
and the application for injunction is
being heard before Judge Ralph Camp
bell today. The case is carried to the
federal courts because national banks
are involved in it.
In the district court of this county
Judge Bailey denied the desired order,
and the treasurer therefore refuses to
accept less than the full amount Of
taxes levied against the banks.
