ELKHART. Ind, May 5-John W. Cum
minis; the Democratic member of the
Board of Police Commissioners of this city,
and whose appointment recently by Gov
ernor Mount has created so much dssatis-
faction among Democrats here, to-day filed
in the Circuit Court of this county com
plant of libel against ex-Congressman
Conn, proprietor of the Elkhart Daily
Truth and Solomon M. Goldsmith, asking
$4,000 damages. AS Cummins who had al
ways been a leader in the Democratic par
ty in this county, spoke and worked openly
and ardently for everything Republican
last fall. his former political associates
were furious. COINS Truth took the mat
ter up and has been making very serious
charges against Cummins, among them
claiming that since his appointment as po-
lice commissioned he had entered a saloon
on Sunday and treated a crowd to liquors,
and that he carried a key to the rear door
OF the saloon. 1t has also gone over his
Laporte thirty-three years ago when he
shot and killed a German named Kriege.
The incenSed Democrats held an Indignation
meeting yesterday and decided to endeaVor
to secure aff1daVits to be forwarded to Gov
ernor Mount in the hope of securing the
dismissal of Cummins from the police
board. All these things have wrought
Cummins up to pitch that he has brought
the action, and it is said has good grounds.

full of dogs that had been picked up on the
streets by boys, the result of a new dog or
ordinance, which provides that every canine
in the city must be tagged and registered
by the city clerk, was compelled late last
night to take a big wagonload out in the
country and shoot them himself. as the
residents of the vicinity of the Jail had been
unable to sleep for three nights on account
of the noise made. Half the dogs escaped
by reason of the mayors poor marksman-
ship. Before taking them out he tried to
poison them with different kinds of drugs
but failed. Hundreds of people watched
the procession as it started for the country
and despite big offers, the mayor was un-
able to engage any person to do the work
To-day no one could be hired to catch the
dogs roaming about the streets, and the
mayor is greatly worried over enforcing
the ordinance as the people who took out
licenses demand it shall be carried out to
the letter. As it is, he must shoot all dogs
that are brought in.

atty of this city has been a bone of con-

Bachman, Democrat, and Edwin Wright,
Republican, and the official canvass pro-
nounced Wright elected by one vote. A con-
test followed wherein the jury declared
Wright was not legally elected. The Demo-
cratic City Council then appointed Frank
Bachman mayor and he was sworn in and
gave bond. The verdict of the jury did not
say Bachman was elected. nor that there
a vacancy. The Circuit Court first
heard the quo warranto suit by Bachman,
to whom Mayor Wright refused to give up
the office, and also the petition in error
to Probate Court proceedings declaring
that Mr.. Wright was not legally elected.
AS to the petition the court sustained the
lower court but as to the quo warranto
case the court decided Mr.. Wright is
mayor until his successor is elected and

Wright, there appearing to be no opening
