Injunction Causes in Butte Sidewalk Case Heard
In an injunction matter in Butte, Geoffrey La vell and J H Lynch sue the city to bar permanent sidewalks on West Park street. Judge Bourquin heard an order to show cause for a temporary injunction, City Attorney Booth for the city argued the council sole right to decide sidewalk needs. The hearing focused on whether court should intervene in council discretion. Also, John J Sullivan opposed contempt for not testifying in Raven Mining case. Judge Bourquin reserved ruling, noting prior judgments on deposition contempt. Other actions noted include suits for mining equipment theft and a bank note dispute.
