Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Eighth Circuit |
J. D Skeen, of Salt Lake City, Utah (O. R. Baum, of American Falls, Idaho, and D. A. Skeen, of Salt Lake City, Utah, on the brief), for appellant.

A decree was rendered denying the injunction, but awarding damages to plaintiff because of sales made by the defendant. None of the testimony given on the trial is preserved in the record, and the questions presented arise upon the face of the pleadings and decree.
The denial of the injunction refused the only equitable relief asked by plaintiff. Under the allegations of the pleadings this denial must be taken as a finding that the proofs did not entitle plaintiff to an injunction when the bill was filed, as there were no allegations showing any change of status after the bill was filed. The relief that is asked by the plaintiff, other than the injunction, is for damages for breach of contract, a purely legal demand. Section 267 of the Judicial Code provides that:
