On Monday last Moore entered suit In the Quarterly Court for possession of his colt. Yesterday Woodard secured from the Circuit Court an order restraining Moore from prosecuting his suit in the Quarterly Court and July 31 was set as the date for hearing on the motion for a permanent injunction. Woodard recites that on May 3, 1900, he entered Into an agreement with owner Moore, by the terms of which he was to feed, care for, train and manage Debar during the year 1900; that he was to receive no compensation for personal services, but for the expenditures for feed and care and necessary help In training and racing the horse he was to be reimbursed out of any purses or stakes won by him Uurlng the year 1900. He also avers that If Debar did not win a race the defendant, by the terms of the agreement, was to reimburse him for those necessary outlays.
