panies, for a temporary injunction
against the Citizens State bank of Car
oegie, which il is alleged has $4,000 in
money on time deposits belonging to r.
]. and Z. II. Crsep, was granted this
morning to Judge Edward o. Oidfield
The receiver was given ten days 20 file
: bond with the court and the restrain
ing order preventing the bank from pay
ing out funds until the bond has been
approved was continued for ten days
Deposit Boz Opened.
Attorneys for the bank stated this
morning that the bank was being made
TO assume a position OF double liability
for the funds II holds. They contendsd
that should an innocent purchaser come
into possession OF the certificate OF de-
posit and demand payment Of the funds,
the bank, regardless of the Injunction,
would be obligated il not on demand,
then by judgment OF the courts, TO
pay the deposits. Attorneys for the re-
eeiver said tina, Cunningham could not
be found and that he would probably
make an elton to get the money out Of
the Carnegie bank through some other
person. They insisted that the stock
holder should have the protection of the
injunction.
After the application was granted a
clerk OF the safety deposit vaults where
Z, J. Green kept box, was put on the
witness stand and questioned concern
Ing Homer N. Boardman going to the
box on authority given by Green and
taking out certain papers Boardman
also testified and exhibited the papers
taken from the box. The papers, he
said. were pertinent TO the defense on
the criminal charge. There was no
paper among them ciassed, he said, as a
negotiable instrument and they were

Receiver Given Papers.
The receiver was given possession OF
the papers with instructions that the
counsel for the defense could have ae-
cess to them any time when /, became

tanned in them. Among the papers, il
was stated, were the minutes and rec
ords OF the various meetings OF the Of

composed OF men from the AbrurSi re-
gion Of the first line trenches on the
high plateaul, These had to bear the
brunt OF the battle, as the enemy OPP
posed this sector with their best troops
The Austrian COMMAND has launched
wave upon wave of infantry against
these trenches, favored by a mist which
obliged the Italians to lengthen their
range in fear Of hitting their own
troops in hand-to.hand fighting. The
enemy's aim, however, was not TO cap
ture the trenches, but by iiltering
through a small nucleus OF men along
different dales and gorges, which are
so numerous In this region, to surround
the strongholds near Asiago.
A Genoese colonel Immediately real
izing the encmy's intention, dashed for
ward with his men and machine guns
submitting the Austrians to a deadly
fire After an heroic struggle the first
