May 3.— Th«* Methodist Preachers' Association today adopted resolutions of protest against the Jeffriea-Johnson fight and urging Governor Gillett to stop it. They termed the fight "nothing less than a national disgrace." Judge Noland Wednesday granted temporary injunction restraining the county court from taking further action in the matter of selling th* pr«Mient site of tbe courthouse, mov- Ing it to another location or entering any order "changing the county seat of Klamath County.” The Issuing of tbe injunction was anticipated, inasmuch as it was nec- essary to estop any action being tak- en until after the term of court iu Lake County, for which Judge No land will leave here this week. Under ordinary circumstances the defendants have ten days in which to make answer to complaints filed in injunction cases, during which the court may issue a temporary restrain ing order, similar to that in the courthouse case, In the meantime, the other side of the case may In presented and the order made per- manent or dismissed. As soon as Judge Noland returns from Lakeview a hearing will be had and definite- action taken. Whether the injunc tion is made permanent or dismiss«?«], the case is sure to go to the supreme court. Following is a copy of the ord* r made in the case: "The above named plaintiff hav ing tiled his complaint in our circuit court of the State of Oregon, from the County- of Klamath, against the abov«» named defendants, praying fo. an injunction against said defend ants, requiring them to refrain from certain acts, in said complaint, and hereinafter more particularly men tioned. On reading said complaini in said suit, duly verified by the plaintiff, and it satisfactorily appear ing therefrom, and that sufficieni grounds exist, and the necessary un dertaking has been given, we. there fore. in consideration thereof, and of the particular matters in the said complaint set forth, do strictly com mand you, that you. and each of you. until the further order of said court, do absolutely refrain from and de sist from selling or abandoning th*- county courthouse, or any part of block 35, in the City of Klamath Falls. Oregon, on which it is situated, and to refrain front making any or- der for the removal of the county seat of Klamath County.” A bond for 11,000 was filed, H. F Murdoch, W. T. Shive, George Hum and Arthur Lewis being sureties.
