chief and a few of time subordinate officers ,

Instructions were It not for the fact that
Gallagher , Slgwart and Ormsby are trying i

showed that the present police force was

effort was made to apprehend time offenders ;
that at the exposition grounds no effort

reason of time fact that the old board hail
fulled to provide special officers , clothed i
with authority , to make arrests. The mayor
showed that 1t was not the purpose of time
board to usurp city officers , but Instead , was
for the solo purpose of emmforcbrg good gay-
e mnemt and stopping the reign of crfmue
that has run since the ahnlnistraliou of
Callmtglmer commenced.
Attorney Day , In nrguing for Ileriman and

should protect the Interests of time old board
and along this line he argued until time noon

Attorney Ransom for Ilerdman and his associates -

At the ltfteruoon session of the court City
Attorney Correll opened for the members of

t creo of limo supreme court , they svero
clothed whit full power to go ahead whim
the transaction of huslness , they constitut-

I
lion of time city. Timis being true , time nmen-
hers could in no possible way interfere with
the members of the old board , who hail been
removed from oillce by due process of law.
I The supreme court , ! n deciding the case ,
time city attorney contended , had settled the
ooustluliouality of the law giving the
mayor and city council power to create a
fire and pohca conunlsslon. The district
court , h , urged had no right to interfere
tvltlm the work of limp new board and lord
coo right to Issue an I1Junctlor depriving

there was 110 yaw go ernimig the case , as it
raised issues that were entirely new. Bow-

Mr. Scott assured time court that the mama-

possession of the offcea by force , nor did
they have a desire to disturb time peace.
Attorney Ransom , closing for time members -
