The injunction was sought Friday by B. L\Johnson and Bruno G. Bilz, owners of the Galety (Burwood) theater to pre- vent Messrs Sulllvan and Consldine from interfering with their operation of the theater. The United Theaters company is one of the names under which Messrs, Sulllvan and Considine do business. The attorneys for the defendants repre- sent in thelr motion that their clients are incorporated in Maine and legally reside there and that Messrs Johnson and Bils live in Nebraska. Therefore, says the motion, the contest is between citizens of different states and as such should be heard by a United States court. Another argument is that the amount Involved is over $2,00, and this Is ordinarily & good ground' for removal in such cases. A bond for removal is likewise filed in the office of the clerk of district court. The original injunction proceedings were to have been heard before Judge Estelle the coming Saturday.

After a period of quiet came loud crack- ing sound like the moise of a discharged revolver. Ithe back of the house. Rushing to the front door they screamed together. The father-in-law of one of the young women heard the frightened cry from his, home next door and rushing over valorously made his way to the back of the house. A dreadful sight met his eyes In the kitchen: A bottle of one-time unfermented wine had been working and the celitng and walls were now covered with what looked itke gore.
