Numerous or ders had previously been entered in the case, and the plaintiff represent ed by succession of attorneys. The dismissal order was entered upon the motion of the district and was grant led for lack of prosecution. First entered in the chancery court, the case was transferred to circuit court and then again returned to chancery.
