EFFORT TO OUST TDE MAYOR
Attorney for 8 ton Brewiig Company riles
Action in District Court
OUTCOME OF THE LATE SALOON FIGHT
Mayor Moraan Is Charged with
Neglect of Daty and Miaroadect la
' Pallia; to "apprrss Gamb
ling la the City.
Suit In the name of the state of Iowa,
upon relation of Attorney 8. B. Wadsworth,
demanding the removal from office of
Mayor Dell Q. Morgan,, was begun In the
district court yesterday. Attorney Wada
worth represents the Stors Brewing com
party, against whose saloons In this city a
fight has been waged for several months by
certain parties, and the action against
Mayor Morgan Is supposed to be the trump
card, which the Stors people have. It la
said, been threatening to play for some
time unlexa the fight sgainst their saloons
was declared off.
In the petition filed by Wadsworth Mayor
Morgan la charged with neglect of duty,
extortion, corruption, misconduct and mal
administration In office. All these charges
are based on the allegation that Mayor
Morgan had permitted certain gambling
houses to keep open and for which privilege
the proprietors paid Into the city treasury
a monthly fine of 1200 each.
The saloon fight originated, with the suits
brought by Attorney Fremont Banjamln to
enjoin all the saloons owned by the Stors
company In Council Bluffs from selling
liquor. Attorney Wadsworth, representing
the 8tora company, retaliated by bringing
similar actions against every saloon In the
city. Before the date set for the hearing
In court In these suits a truce was de
clared and It was generally supposed that
the fight was ended, Later developments,
however, showed that the fight against the
Store company waa not at an end. W. C.
Utterback, a former saloonkeeper, who had
brought suit sgalnBt the local agent of the
Stors company to recover what he claimed
to have paid out for beer to the company
and had been defeated, appeared one day
aa Intervenor In the Injunction suits against
the Stori company's saloons and notice was
served on the Stors people that the suits
would be pushed to trial.
The action against Mayor Morgan Is the
final outcome of the renewal of the fight
against the Stors Brewing company.
