Barbed Wire Litigation.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 12.—Five thousand dollars was appropriated by the Legislature at its late session to assist the Farmers' Protective Association in their barbed wire suits with Washburn & Moen. The appropriation caused considerable comment. To-day Frank Mason, manager of the Merchant's Union Barbed Wire Company, appeared before the Circuit Court and asked for an injunction restraining the State Auditor from issuing a warrant on the State Treasurer, and from paying the same if issued, and against the Farmers' Association receiving the money. Mason gave bond, and the injunction was issued.
