Appeal from District Court, Eastland County; E. A. Hill, Judge.
Suit by John J. Worm and others against Eugene Wood and others, in which George H. Parvin intervened. From an order dissolving a temporary injunction, plaintiffs and intervener appeal. Affirmed.
Burkett, Anderson & Orr, of Eastland, for appellants.
Harrison, Cavin & Key, of Eastland, for appellees.
John J. Worm and another citizens of the city of Eastland instituted this suit in the district court of Eastland county against Eugene Wood and others to restrain them from erecting certain buildings on property held by defendants under a five-year lease, and adjoining other property owned by plaintiffs and occupied by them, respectively, as their homes in the city of Eastland. On September 25, 1919, plaintiffs' original petition, which was duly verified, was presented to the judge of the court, who, upon a consideration of the same, ordered it filed and directed the clerk of the court to issue the temporary writ of injunction therein prayed for, restraining the defendants from erecting the buildings. On October 2, 1919, George H. Parvin filed a plea of intervention, in which he joined with plaintiffs in the suit and adopted their pleadings. Defendants' motion to dissolve the temporary writ was sustained, and from that order plaintiffs and intervener have appealed. It was recited in the order of dissolution that the same was made upon an inspection of the plaintiffs' petition, the defendants' answer, and the motion to dissolve.
The contention presented by plaintiffs' petition as a basis for the relief sought was that the buildings which defendants were about to erect would constitute a nuisance which should be abated. Following allegations that plaintiffs owned and had established their respective homes upon their property which adjoined the tract upon which defendants had threatened to erect the objectionable buildings, the petition for the writ contained the following allegations:
