Quite lively little "drama" was en-
acted yesterday at Vinaps iverysstable,
over the arrest of Mr.. Kinnane. 1t
seems the officers found him at the liv-
cry stable in the act of taking out his
horse and buggy. Anticipating some
thing lively, a crowd of about one hun
dred and fifty gathered around, most of
them urging Mr.. Kinnane not to go, as
there was no ordinance of Council COM
pelling him to do so. His friends
were very loud In their
advice to him, in fact the officers threat
ened to arrest them if they did not desist,
but it was kept up and looked like it
would terminate in mob. Mr.. Kinnane
positively refused to go and said if they
took him by force they would have to
suffer for it, Finally Kinnane got the
Sergeant-at-arms in his buggy and drove
away under pretense of going to see the
Mayor, and then come to Council Cham
Der, butsby some means he got the Ser
geantat-arms out, and when last seen
was going out of the corporation.
CoUNcIL.-The City Council met yes
terday morning at 9 o'clock, the Presi-

they had been properly, informed at the
present session.
The Sergeant-at-arms returned afte n
a few minutes absence and reported that
Mr.. Kinnane was in Mr.. Hagans' office
and in charge of the officers and refused
to come, claiming the quorum of Council
as now claimed was illegal-the officer
would not bring him without warrant.
He, however, said if the Solicitor said it
was his, duty to be present be would
come.

to bring him in forthwith.
