A case in Justice Culver's court this |
morning involves the Veracity of two in
opOSIlhc4g ana v
Ordono. They both work at the ter
ritOrial university where Brown is a |
teamster and drives mules. Yesterday /
the mules wouldn't pull-or at least |
aroused the wrathful ire of the Brown /
afresaid, and a ''rock" was called into |
requisition to aid in the fulflment of his |
mandates. He threw the rock. 1t did |
not hit the mule. 1t did hit Ordono.
Ordono objected to being hit with the
rock and told Judge Culver so the morn
ing. he also said that the rock WAS
thrown at himself deliberately and with
malice aforethought. The case will
come up tomorrow.

son moved that the council meet today
at O'Clock, which was carried. The CITY |
was insured OF all suits which may arise
IN the future from the making of the
grant, Mr.. ID. Henderson making that
agreement. Several addresses were
made and the meeting adjourned. At
, today the council held a private Sos
sion, as preliminary step in the matter
more particularly to examine into the
financial ability of the parties asking
the grant, and adjourned until Monday
night next, where they will again meet
Messrs Fitzgerald and Sykes, and ali
being satisfactory, it is not unlikely will
hen make grant.
The city council viii meet this even
ing to discuss the granting of Military
Plaza and exclusive franchise for street
railways to Messrs. Fitzgerald and
Sykes. The opinion is expressed by
that while glad and anxious
to do all that lies in their power to grant
the requests of Messrs. Fitzgerald and
Sykes IN SO for as the city will be bene- ,
lifted, they are probably legally unable .
to give much aid. Regarding the grant I
