Majority for Marion Center, 416.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
In this case the members of this court do not agree upon the questions involved, and as any decision of those questions seems to be no longer of pressing necessity, it is not deemed best- to give any expression to the different opinions held by the individual justices.
The order which will be entered is, the affirmance of the ruling of the district judge.
