JURORS WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Judge Wakeley Says They May be
Found in Douglas County.
A Change of Venue on Account of Al
legged PREF ndice refused 10 he
Gas Company in Its suit
Against the CIty.

O'sF >'''t"hN . WV obsN.
The gas company's case against the city
will not be sent out of Douglas county for
trial, al least not until better cause is shown
why such Il change should be made.
A decision 10 this effect was made by Judge
Wakeley, IN the district court yester-
day morning, upon the motion
OF the company for IA change of venue.
In giving reasons for his deci-
sion Judge Wakeley said that there were
nearly twenty thousand jurors in Douglas
county, and he did not think any difficulty
would be experienced in securing u jury IN
three hours, winch would fairly and truly
try the case. The majority of the electors
IN the city were among the classes who live
in cheap houses, do not pay gas bills, have
no connections with the company, and
are free from bias aud prejudice. He held
that no order should be made on the
motion for a change but that the case should
be called for triaI, and If IL could be shown
In the efforts to get a jury that there was
too strong prejudice existing to insure a fair
trial of the cause here he would then grant a
change OF venue, but not otherwise.
The application OF Hall Il O'Connor for o
remprory writ prohibiting the American
Waterworks company from turning of the
water from a tenement owned by them, was
granted by Judge Wakeley. The defendants
turned the water Off because, as they
claimed, other parties not tenants of tho
plaintiffs were allowed TO use IL. fhe court
held that this was not sufficiently proven.
Judge Lake, for the defendants. took excep-
ton TO the ruling, claiming that a Deremp-
tory writ OF mandamus could not be issued
against his clients without a trial having
first been had.
