Restraining Order Against Al- fred H. Cobb Dissolved at Close of Hearing Before Court Wednesday The case of Harry Boyer vs. Al- fred H. Cobb thru which the former secured a temporary injunction re- straining the defendant from taking possession of the new three-story and office building occupied by a whole- sale company back of the Midwest hotel until the merits of his claim in were argued, took another turn district court Wednesday when Hagens & Stanley for the defendant, had tion dissolved in a hearing before Judge C. E. Winter and announced that a counter-suit would be insti- tuted for the collection of damages alleged to have been sustained thru unwarranted procgedings opened by the plaintiff. According to the defendant's at- torneys, the bill! for a balance of $9,- 002, which Boyer, as plaintiff in the action, seeks to collect together with $2.000 damages. is in dispute. The defendant it is declared, is ready to settle on an equitable basis. After hearing evidence on a peti- tion asking that the injunction ‘be dissolved the court decreed that the defendant was entitled to possession of the building. The suit for the col- lection of monev alleged to be due and unpaid still ds, and the counter-action, to be instituted by the defense indicates that the case will hold several unusual features before it is concluded. —_ PROCLAMATION Pursuant to the request of the Governor of the State of Wyoming, and of the National Council of De- fense, I herebv request all liauor dealers in the Citv of Casper to close their places of business from nine o’clock a. m..
