WICHITA — A Sedgwick County District Court judge on Tuesday lifted a restraining order that was issued Monday to prevent the former owners of Eaton Steakhouse from selling the contents of the restaurant in a planned auction today.
Bud Palmer Auction can now proceed with the 9:30 a.m. sale. But part of the proceeds from the sale won’t necessarily go to former Eaton Steakhouse owners Steve and Stephanie Compton and Thomas Bowles.
“Sale proceeds will be placed with the court,” says Mike Roach, an attorney for MDI Partnership #72, which owns Eaton Place. “There will be a trial at a later date.”
MDI alleges that the Comptons and Bowles, upon their exit from Eaton Place when the restaurant closed in October, caused damage and took items not belonging to them in excess of $50,000.

WICHITA — Not many people purposely decorate the back side of their drapery with a fabric different from the front, but Chris McCoy does. And she’s happy to help you do the same.
“It’s kind of like your lingerie,” she says. “Sometimes what’s on the back or underneath you only know about.”
McCoy is opening her Willow Creek Designs to the public Thursday.
She’s had the design business for several years and worked with friends or referrals.
“This is kind of my big launch for the public,” McCoy says. “I’ve just been ramping up collecting samples and lines of furniture and . . . working on my house for three years.”
Her house will function as her show house if potential clients want to see the lines she carries or the work she does.

WICHITA — A restraining order issued Monday will prevent the former owners of Eaton Steakhouse from selling the contents of the restaurant in a planned Wednesday auction.
Bud Palmer Auction was set to sell the contents for Steve and Stephanie Compton and Thomas Bowles.
But MDI Partnership #72 alleges that the Comptons and Bowles, upon their exit from Eaton Place when the restaurant closed in October, caused damage and took items not belonging to them in excess of $50,000.
The items in question are in a warehouse that Bowles has on East Lincoln.
Sedgwick County District Court Judge Timothy Lahey ordered that the sale not take place and that no property can be sold without a court order.
He also said the property has to remain at the warehouse.
