NE WANTS THE BONES.
Mr.. Bicker oil Chicago. and His fight for the
100000, 600 Bond Issue.

WASHINGTON, Feb. &c. L. Kicker OF
Chicago. today was given q short hearing
by Justice Bradley, in the circuit court OF
the District of Columbia, on q petition
asking that a writ of mandamus be issued,
compelling the secretary of the treasury to
turn over to him $50 100000 of bonds, his
bid for which was rejected.
Justc. Bradley stated that the PETITION is
too broad in its requests, and asked some
thing the courts had no authority to grant.
The court had no right to say TO whom the
bonds should be allotted. The secretary of
the treasury reserved the light to reject any
81 Is and he did not have authority to inter-
fere by issuing a writ of mandamus, but if
the petitioner had desire to be heard by
counsel the court would grant it.
Mr.. Kicker stated that he wished to be
heard by counsel. After the hearing he
.aii he would have legal representative
confer with the court in regard to the petit
ion and have it amended to meet the ext
gencies of the case, and then institute Pro-
ceedings against the secretary for writ,
which he would push in vigorous manner.
