A temporary injunction restraining
the Marion county court from the is.
sue and sale OF the Lincoln district
road bonds, was granted today by
Judge Maxwell Of Clarksburg. This
injunction vii hold until the Marion
county circuit court convenes again
when the matter will be referred to
Judge w. S. Raymond. Nothing more
toward the building of the $650,000
worth Of new roads can be done by
the county court In the meantime.
The members OF the court this af.
ternoon went to Hoult town to view
the location OF new road that has
been asked for by number Of the
citizens from that place. About mile
OF new road will have to be buitt from
Hou!t toward Pricketts creek and vi.
ola, in order to provide an outlet for
the people of that community. The
former road was made impassable
when the Monongahela railroad was
built through that region.
No action was taken by the court
concerning the three Yasco children.
this matter again being referred TO
Father Michaelski. Polish priest at
Monongah, the local humane society
having refused to da anything at all
In this case. The Oldest OF the two

TO CONVENTION
F. At HUNTINGTON
Twenty-One Delegates Will
Be Selected Tomorrow
Afternoon
BIG TURN OUT EXPECTED
Those Who Attend Will Meet
All the County Candi-
dates.

With every detail of the plans for
the Marion County Republican conven.
ton to be held here tomorrow com.
pleted today the prospects for sue.

the fall election are better than ever.
Promptncss and dispatch in dispos.
ing Of the business OF the meeting will

ly after Chairman Frank r. Amos
calls the meeting to order at two p. m.
the organization OF the Republicans
present will be effected, AS soon as
the chairman OF the meeting is chos.
en- he will take the chair and the bust.
ness OF selecting the delegates to the
stateconvention at Huntington will be.
gin.
There are many aspirants for the
honor OF representing the county at
Huntington and plenty OF good men
will be available for this duty. This
is another evidence OF the fact that
a splendid turnout of the Marion coun-
ty Republicans Is assured both TO-
morrow and at the fall election. The
opportunity of meeting all of the Mar.
ion county candidates at the beginning
or the campaign, which promises this
year to be full OF interest, is another
inducement that will operate to bring
out practically all OF the prominent
party workers.
The twenty.one delegates that will
be selected to the Huntington con.
vention, to be held August 10, will be
apportioned to the various districts
in the county as follows: Fairmont
district. 8; Union district, 3; Manning.
ton district. 8; Lincoln district, 2;
Paw Paw district, 2; Winfield and
Grantdistricts one delegate each. This
is the appotionment that was followed
at the last convention when delegates
to the Wheeling convention early in
June were selected. This apportion.
ment will of course be passed upon by
a committee tomorrow before It is &C
cepted as the one adopted.
