Section 2323. Houses of prostitution; injunction; temporary restraining order; service

1. Where a permanent or temporary injunction is  prayed
  for,  the  court,  or  judge  in  vacation,  on  the  application of the
  plaintiff, may issue an ex  parte  restraining  order,  restraining  the
  defendants  and  all  other  persons  from  removing  or  in  any manner
  interfering  with  the  furniture,  fixtures,  musical  instruments  and
  movable  property  used  in  conducting  the alleged nuisance, until the
  decision of the court or  judge  granting  or  refusing  such  temporary
  injunction and until the further order of the court thereon.
    2.  The  restraining  order  may be served by handing to and leaving a
  copy of said order with  any  person  in  charge  of  said  property  or
  residing in the premises, and by posting a copy thereof in a conspicuous
  place at or upon one or more of the principal doors at entrances of such
  premises  where  such nuisance is alleged to be maintained, or by either
  such delivery or posting.
    3. The officers serving such restraining order  shall  forthwith  make
  and  return into court an inventory of the personal property situated in
  and used in conducting or maintaining said nuisance and shall enter upon
  the premises for such purpose.
    4. Where such order is so posted, mutilation or removal thereof, while
  the same remains in force, shall be a contempt of court,  provided  such
  posted order contains thereon or therein a notice to that effect.
