Local Option Injunction.
Bandera, Texas, May 5.—Considerable interest is being manifested by some of the citizens in the pending contest of the prohibition election held in this county on the 17th of last month, at which election the county voted "dry" by a fair majority. Mr. George Hay, our principal saloonist, and his son-in-law, Risinger, are contestants and County Judge Darow and County Attorney E. J. Darden are contestees. An injunction was first applied for before Hon. I. L. Martin, judge of this district, who refused to grant the writ. Application was then made to Judge Clark of San Antonio, who granted the writ. It is reported that the prohibitionists are making up money to fee Judge Darden to go before Judge Clark and represent the other side of the question and try to have the injunction dissolved.
