GIBBS, Circuit Judge. -- The appellant, complainant in the court below, filed his bill of caomplaint, later amending, it, against the appellees, defendants in such court, averring in substance that he lived in the town of DeFuniak Springs; that he was the owner of a milch cow with its calf; that each was tick free; that both were in a tick-free enclosure, and, with the exceptions pointed out in the amendment, they had been in such enclosure for a considerable period last past; that the defendants had taken from such enclosure against the consent of complainant and while he was absent from town the cow and calf and caused them to be dipped in an unsanitary, filthy and improperly made vat; that they had, thereafter, caused the animals to receive paint marks resulting in injury to them; that the complainant was forced to pay the sum of two dollars, alleged costs, before he could peaceably obtain possession of the cow and calf; and that the defendants intended to continue to dip said cow and calf at intervals of time thereafter and to make such unlawful charges. The complainant prayed that the court would enjoin and restrain the defendants as long as such cow and calf were tick free and kept in a tick free enclosure from driving,
