PROPERTY GUARDIAN REMOVED.
James Doyle has been removed by
Judge Cleaveland as guardian of the
property Of his children, but not as
guardian of their persons. The reason
that he was removed as guardian of
the property was that he had used a
part of the $500 insurance which was
left by Mrs. Doyle at her death for the
children in paying her funeral ex-
penses and like claims. The court
could not give it's official sanction to
this. and was obliged to remove the
father as guardian of the property, al
though the same thing is very fire.

The suit of John M. Gilday against
Joseph r. Warren was down for trial
before Judge Studley in the civil side
of the common pleas court yesterday.
Warren some time ago attached a
liquor license Of Thomas E. O'Brien.
Gilday replevined the license from War
rem, claiming that he had bought it
from O'Brien. Attorney Wolfe, coun-
sci for Warren, demurred on the ground
that no transfer had been made by the
county commissioners
Judge Studley sustained the demur
rer on the ground that Gilday could
acquire a legal right to the license
through the commissioners only, and
Judgment was awarded the defendant
The hearing yesterday was to have
been for the purpose Of fixing the dam
ages and finding the facts. Attorney
Zacher, counsel for Gilday,s and Attor-
ney Wolfe agreed, however, to take the
case to the supreme court, and ask that
tribunal to determine the question
whether legal right exists to transfer
license before the county commits
sioners have transferred it. The de-
cision will be awaited with much in
terest.
