RIGGINS NEXT MOVE.

-----

AN INJUNCTION NILL PROBABLY BE

ASKED OF SUPREME COURT.

-----

    Austin, Texas, Dec. 5.--J. R. Scarbrough, counsel for Mayor J. W. Riggins, of Waco, who was impeached last night by the Waco council, is here this morning and he filed an application for a writ of error to the supreme court, the court of civil appeals having denied a rehearing.

    Judge Scarbrough was seen but did not care to discuss his next step.

    It is understood that he is preparing to file an application for a writ of injunction in the supreme court to restrain the city council of Waco from interfering with Riggins in the discharge of his duties as mayor notwithstanding that he is impeached.

    The injunction would be effective until the determination of the case by the supreme court.
