was easy to see that Mayor Roberts
was peeved when the articles were
being read In the first place they
We're as hume rous and as lengthy as
thu Mosaic law, and Just about as
easy to follow out However, the
mayor stated that if the water COM
missioner could get the tanks to
working satisfactorily without bank
rupting the city or building a new
sewer sysem, to go ahead, although
the instructions given We're not en-
Bodied in Mr.. MaXcy's original 9On-
tract, and unless the tanks worked
and worked pretty quickly Mr.. MaXcy
and his bOndsmen were going to have
a neat little legal battle, and the
mayor stated that he was tired oi
this delay. the city had paid for a
filtrat pl1nt thnt fnilnl
to work, although the builders had
given sufficient bond that it would,
and now after a SeaSonable time had
elapsed in which to give the tanks
and the builders all the benefits Of
doubt and then they fail. something
IS going to happen says the mayor.
The chief OF police was instructed
to detail a man to collect dog tax
and notify the owners of CANNES that
the time for settlement had arrived
or the dog catcher would get them
and death would follow.
Dan Blackburn drew this job and
will start on his duties this morning.
In view of the fact that there are
a few more ordinances to frame rel

meeting some day this week, and as

GET INJUNCTION
IN OIL CASE
DISTRICT JUDGE S. n. RUSSELL
GRANTS PETITION OF PLAIN
TiFFS IN IMPORTANT SUIT.

With veiled suggestion of jail
doors and the statement that some
men would risk anything, including
their liberty, in the pursuit of the
dollar, Judge Russell granted the pc
tition of Apple and Franklin for an
injunction against w. r. Ingram and
others, restraining them from inter-
fering with the leases held by the
plaintiffs to some oil lands, and fur
ther stated to the plaintiffs that they
were placed in the same relation as
they were at the time of making the
contract
More than 1000 acres were involv-
ed in this controversy and the pc
tition of the plaintiffs was for an in
junction to prevent lessons from
making ether leases and to restrain
other leSsees known in oil parlance
as "lease jumpers" from interfering
with the possession of the property.
All these leases provide for rentals
and the receipts and checks eXhib
tied in court showed that the pay
ments have been made up to October
1913. the lessons claimed that this
money was merely paid as a bonus,
but the court held that the paymens
were made according to the terms OF
the contract and as all other condi
IONS had been met by the lessee;
that the leases were good and en-
forceable
The rapid development of the fell
will follow this action of the court
as the adjudication of the contracts
sets at rest all doubt as to the va
lidity of the leases and thfoperating
companies will not be timid in spend
ing money on development. Three
rigs are being erected upon the lands
that were in controversy, one of them
is in actual operation the work of
drilling having started Monday.

 A fight is being declared against the new industrial commission, the nine members of which were appointed a few weeks ago by President Taft. AL though senatorial courtesy" would or dinarily bring about the speedy con- firmation of Senator Sutherlands ap- pointrnent as chairman, democratic leaders are fighting all the ap- pointments on the ground that the new commissions investigation of indus trial conditions will run through two or three years of President Wilson's term.
 Should President Taft send in the appointment of Colonel George w. Goethals as governor of the Panama canal under the new law, it will un- doubtedIy also meet with democratic opposition.
