Disobedience of an injunction may be punished by the court or judge, in term time or in vacation,

as a contempt. In case of such disobedience, the complainant, his agent or attorney, may file in the

court in which such injunction is pending or with the judge in vacation, his affidavit stating what

person is guilty of such disobedience and describing the acts constituting the same; and thereupon

the court or judge shall cause to be issued an attachment for such person, directed to the sheriff or

any constable of any county, and requiring such officer to arrest the person therein named if found

within his county and have him before the court or judge at the time and place named in such writ;

or said court or judge may issue a show cause order, directing and requiring such person to appear

on such date as may be designated and show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of

court. On return of such attachment or show cause order, the judge shall proceed to hear proof;

and if satisfied that such person ha s disobeyed the injunction, either directly or indirectly, may

commit such person to jail without bail until he purges himself of such contempt, in such manner

and form as the court or judge may direct.
