After that the company got an injunction to keep Crempa from tampering its wires. When he continued his short-circuiting pranks, the court cited him for contempt, ordered seizure of the body of John Crempa...
...addition to his contempt order he had two new warrants, one calling for the arrest of John Crempa for malicious mischief, another for Mrs. Crempa's arrest on charges of assaulting sheriff's officers (during the surveying party ruckus).

Jack Price's trade, how ever, is now further than ever from extinction, because newspaper publishers have discovered that news pictures help circulation and enormously improve their newspapers' appearance. Torn two ways by its journalist's contempt for photography and its publisher's interest in photography, Editor & Publisher has studiously ignored news photography for many a long year. Last week it turned its head, opened its eyes, began a regular weekly column on news photography called "Eyes of the Press." Author: Jack Price...
