Threat Of Renewal OF Charges
Against Him.
Councilman Thomas Winsor resumed
the seat which Judge Langley declared he
Was unlawfully ousted from in the Bal
lard city council Tuesday night No par
ticular commotion arose over the event,
although the council and spectators
seemed somewhat amused over the change
of places between Armour and Winsor.
and the clerk confusedly mentioned Ar
mour's name for Winsor's when reading
the roll call. Councilman John Keane OBJ
jected to Winsor taking his seat because
the decision OF Judge Langley Was NOS yet
entered Of record and no official notice of
his decision had been served on the coun-
Gil. Mayor Peters and City Attorney
Isaac Murchison held opposite views. and
on q vote Of the council, keane voting no,
Winsor was allowed to retain his scat.
Councilman Keane then said: Il hereby
serve notice on Mr.. Winsor that / will
prefer charges against him next Tuesday,
and that action will be commenced
against him for misdemeanor." Winsor
made no reply.
No further business was done except the
passing Of some ordinances to grade Viii
bert and Times streets on the ten-year bond
system. Winsor objected to the bond
system, and said he would mathematically
demonstrate. that the system would de-
prive every Mage Garner Of his home. He
held that the law was . cunningiy de-
vised plan Of the gold bugs and .piutocrats
to rob the poor man of his home by max
ing every home responsible for the smount
OF the grade tax on the whole street.
counciimen Looney and Chandler asked
Mr. Winsor if he we're not preiudiced
against the name of the system, and
Looney added that the word bond to
every Populist was like red rag to mad
bull. The ordinances passed on their first
reading.
