"CAT HOLE" IS IN LITIGATION

INJUNCTION FILED AGAINST HORACE J. PRETTYMAN

To Prevent Him from Carting Away Dirt from the Well Known Spot

Attorneys Thomas D. Kearney and Martin J. Cavanaugh have filed an injunction to restrain Horace G. Prettyman from digging, ploughing or taking possession of the Cat Hole, the property which the city is endeavoring to acquire.

Prettyman, it is said, claims to have secured the property through a deed from Otis C. Johnson, the executor of the Lucy W. S. Morgan estate. At the time Johnson gave the deed, it is claimed that the Morgan estate had no interest whatever in the property, but that it belonged to the Laughlin family.

Wednesday, it appears, Prettyman had a man busily engaged in carting away dirt from the place. When this became known to the Laughlins, they immediately secured the services of Attorneys Kearney and Cavanaugh with the result that legal measures have beent aken to prevent Mr. Prettyman from interfering with the Cat Hole soil, for a while at least.
