October 7 Saturday – Alexander & Green advised the court had granted a preliminary injunction against J.S. Ogilvie & Co., The New York News Co. Ogilvie’s defense was that he’d republished from newspaper clippings [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Trade-mark suit against Ogilvie & Co. They ‘holler.’ ”

Charles Webster wrote:

The coon is out of the tree, Ogilvie is as limp as a wet rag. He came to Alex & Green and said he thought he was acting in a lawful manner when he “collected” those different storys from different authors, in one book, but now sees his mistake. / He came with literal tears in his eyes…that he had no defense…that he was not worth near the amount of the suits, and it would close his business & he had six “fatherless” (or words to that effect) children to support [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Trade-mark Victory”
