He had an attachment issued for the company’s property, but none was found. Loyd then ran a gar- nishment on Manager Boyle, but as the company played to losing busi- ness Loyd again got left. The ‘action was brought against Turner & Hoffman, and in view of the fact that service could only be secured on the former the hearing of the case was continued for one week in order to allow the authorities to serve notice on Hoffman, who is sup- posed to be in West Tennessee some: where. Matters were patched up and the ompany left for Columbia, where they play tonight.
