Court House Injunction Case Decided At Ellisville
In Chancellor McCaskill's Ellisville court the injunction to block the courthouse election was dismissed. The board of supervisors represented by Hardy and Arnold were awarded $500 in damages for their fees, while Witherspoon and Pack argued for the injunction base. The judge sustained the demurrer and left the election to proceed, stating the vote should now be counted and declared. The outcome is viewed as a near flawless local election and likely not to be appealed.
