the peace and contentment Of their

Saturday in filing a suit for an in

The suit, probably will come UP

two families, the petition recited,
adding that every night the defend
ants placed a loud speaker In

that the court enjoin the Flaherty's

that they would be able to prove
the Adkins guilty OF the practice
which the plaintiffs alleged.
