Syllabus

<p>1. Injunction—Jurisdiction.— Where the district court has obtained jurisdiction of a cause by reason of an injunction sued out to restrain the sale of property levied under execution, it rightfully retains the cause for the purpose of decreeing damages for detention of property by the officer and plaintiff in execution.</p> <p>3. Jurisdiction.—All that is necessary to the exercise of jurisdiction, once obtained, is that the subject to be embraced in the decree is something incidental to the cause of action which originally gave the court jurisdiction, or so closely connected with it as to render its determination necessary to the final decision of the whole controversy between the parties.</p> <p>3.
