Stunners announced through the newspapers that he proposed to put the local poolrooms Out of business and that lie would do It by raiding the place from time to time and arresting hot only the operators thereof, but the players; However, a new wrinkle has been sprung by the poolroom nien, who have secured an injunction aptinst Stunners, alleging that he is trying to take1 tlie law into his own hand and to do illegally what he cannot accomplish by law. It Is a well known fact that the poolroom men are daily violating the law. but under- the fiction established by the Court of Criminal Appeals, It is almost impossible to convict them, and they are now iu the attitude of tislng the law to enable them to continue in defiance of the authorities.
