urer Wheeler was first served with the writ
of mandamus he desired to consult the
City Attorney before paying the claim of
the librarian of 500 for salary for the
month of May. After thinking the matter
over Treasurer Wheeler has come to the
conclusion that he will not cash any of the
library warrants.
Colonel Wheeler called upon City Attor-
ney Taylor yesterday morning, and after
short consultation with that official
stated to CALL representative that he con-
Guided to show cause for not cashing the
warrant
81 shall not pay the money yet, said
Colonel Wheeler. 1.-THE mandate is not
peremptory, but alternative, and by CASH
ing the warrants nothing would be de-
cided. am not supposed to know which
is the legal Board OF Free Library Trust
ees, and I shall therefore appear before
Judge Ogden next Tuesday and state that
as my reason for not cashing the librarians
warrant. I want to be relieved of this I'M
certainty and be at liberty to act"
An in junction is still lowering over the
