about $350,000, have retained counsel
who, on Jan. 80. forwarded to Ellis

bill in equity praying that a temporary
injunction be granted by the court to
prevent the carrying out of the pro-
iect. The bill is brought against the
State Highway Commission, the Han
cock county commissioners and the
Bridge District trustees. 1t is return
able on March 1 before Justice l.. b.
Deasy of the supreme court.
Inquiry at the Office at the State
House of the high commission brought
the reply that nothing official has
been heard there of the bill in equity
and that the commission at present
had nothing to say.

he carried II mighty carefully. My

he patted him on the shoulder. AL

"I'he man ran out OF the other end
OF the passage. and ! went in 10 see
