IIiimIm ffir (lie Stilt.
I. N. Fllcklngcr, who filed tho application
for an order requiring the llvo members of
tho board to appear und show cause why
they should not bo punished for contempt,
BUti? that ho Is ono of tho two uttornoys
for tho plalntirt In tho suit of Slack Petor
son ami others against tho Independent
School District of Council Illuffa. Ho ro
cltcs thnt on March la of tho present year
nn Injunction was Issued by tho district
court restraining tho defendants "from In
nny way or manner selecting or paying for
tho Oakland avenuo slto for High sctfool
purposes, nnd each member from voting for
said sltq or directing tho purehaso of said
site, or having anything to do, directly or
indirectly, In selecting said site." Contin
uing, ho sets forth that on April 2 this
injunction was modified by tho following
order from Juilgo Smith: "It Is by this
ourt ordered thut tho Injunction herein bo
eo modified ns to not enjoin tho defendants
from voting for tho Oakland nvenuo site,
but tho Injunction Is continued so far as It

ballot' giivo Oakland avenuo slto five votes,
Olen avenuo slto ono vote, northwest cor
ner of Willow nvenuo nnd Seventh street
ono voto. Tho Oakland avenuo site was
declared solected."

attempted to mnko selection of tho Oak
land nvenuo slto and to Incur an obligation
thorcfor which, under and by virtue of tho
provisions of wcctlon 2818 of tho code. In
thirty days would become valid and binding
upon tho district, nnd that such proceedings
woro In violation of tho express provisions
of tha Injunction nnd orders Issued by the
court.

by n. Tic Vole ,
Finally.
Tho ordlnanco prohlbtlng tho opening of
barber shops on Sundays was responsible
for a free-for-all oratorical contest nt tho
meeting of tho city council last night.
Speeches for nnd against the measure camo
thick and fast nnd after tho council had
listened to a flow of oratory from the lobby
for about an hour Mayor Jennings shut off
nny further discussion nnd called for a
vote, which resulted In the ordlnanco being
defeated by a tie vote, four of tho aider
men voting for It nnd four agalnBt. Those
voting for tho measure wore: Aldermen
Uoyer. Brown, Hammer and Huber. Alder
men Clark, Lougce, Lovett and McDonald
voted against It.
When tho ordinance was brought up nn
attempt was made to amend It by changing
tho sections to read ns follows:

Sioux City had a dry Easter 60 far as the
consumption of intoxicating beverages Is
concerned. For tho first tlmo In many
months there was not a saloon with a back
door open. This Is tho result of the recent
order of Mayor Burton, and which will be
rigidly enforced by Chief Nelon. The
further order ot the mayor Is to the effect
that all saloons In Sioux City must closo
up tight at 11 o'clock at night and thero
must be no cleaning out after that hour or
on Sundays, leav'ng open no excuso to
make a salo after the closing hours.
