1. ““This being an appeal from an order denying a preliminary injunction, the qneslion to be determined is whether the discretion of the court below was improvidently exorcised, and not whether, upon the final hearing, upon full view of all the facts in the case, this court would, upon the evidence before it, reach the same conclusion as that of the court below. Duplex Printing-Press Co. v. Campbell Printing-Press & Mfg. Co., 16 C. C. A. 220 , 69 Fed. 252 ; Garrett v. T. H. Garrett & Co., 21 C. C. A. 173 , 78 Fed. 472 .

A. 71 , 78 Fed. 222 .””
