and opinion was divided as regards the pro-
ceedlngs of the council. Already there are
several s.pirsnts tor the office, and a great
deal of hob-nobbing is being INDUCED in.
Judge Thurmond ignores the action of the
council, denying their right to remove him
from Office.
Alderman Leopold Bohny, mayor pro
tenn, was presiding in the mayors
court when Judge Thurmond put
in an appearance ana sw W;
: i am the mayor of this city, elected by the
people and demand that you vacate the chair
to which alone am entitled" Mr. Bohny
replied to him as follows: "Hr. Thurmond,

a resolution declaring the office of may Or oi

piled that a. the city couneil had passed {
