Anticipating this action by a few hours, the Roberts faction got a similar injunction, technically dif: ferent, from the same judge.

Judges of two courts were practically shaking injunctions in each other's faces, and the city had a disgraceful spec. tacle of the “majesty” of the law. Finally the mayor, his new engineer and the chief of police were fined $100 each for violating the second Fortune injunction. Bugene V.
