T LAST HOPE OF MM IS JUDGE CALKINS OVERRULE DEMURRER IN INJUNCTION CASE AND DENIES MOTION TO DISSOLVE LEFT IN SORRY PREDICAMENT Judgo Calkins filed a dodsion this morning with the clerk of the circuit court, in which he overruled tho de murrer of tho connty court In tha case of Frank Ward against that body, to rostraln tho collection of a, $50,000 fund to completo the Hot Springs courthouse and also a mis cellaneous fund of $14,000 which well Informed persons know was tor tho purposo ot paying- attornoys to carry on tho litigation that such an attompt -would ' Involvo. Tho court also denied tho motion of tho coun ty court to dissolve tho Injunction. Tho plight of the county court has not been enviable slnco the su SHATTERED premo court reversed the decision ot Judge Hamilton and held the Don gan contract valid, bnt their predica ment has been rendered moro emt barrassing by tho following happen ings of this week: First: Tho supremo court den led a rehearing In the courthouse case.
