Two to fiead; Various
Matters Before Court

The liquor injunction cases still hold
sway in the district court although :
few other matters such as divorce de-
crees and various defaults have been
given attention.
This morning one of the half dozen
injunction cases started by Jesse Rud-
kin some time ago was the first case
for trial. This was the action against
Il. j., or T. J. Clark, a druggist Of
Eddyville. A large number of appli-
cations or requests for liquor made up
on the defendant were offered In evi-
dence. Following the taking Of testi-4
mony the case was submitted. The
injunction asked by the same plaintiff
against w. H. Mynard was next taken
UP. A motion for a more specific
statement in both the Mynard and the
Sargent cases was overruled by the
court and both are up for hearing to-
day and like the Clark case will be
fought by the defendants.
Part of the evidence in the case of
Fowler VS.. w. Kepfer was taken Tues
day afternoon but the trial was not
finished. In the case of Fowler against
Clarence Sutton, the defendant con-
sented to an Injunction without fight
ing the case. He is at present in the
county jail serving out the alternative
of fine imposed by Judge Vermilion
last term during the hearing of num-
Der Of contempt cases which the Cen
terville Judge heard during Judge
Eichelberger,s period here. ".
