ternoon at public sale by Mr. c. c. Dun
oanson, auctoneer. to Mr. Edward NJ
Gates of New York for s106,00o The pur-

JUNK DEALERS LICENSES.
Business Men Organize to Test the
Validity of an Existing Inv.

The recent ruling of Judge Kimbal de-
hVered in the case of J. d. Lasley, to the
effect that all merchants dealing in second
hand goods must secure licenses as junk
dealers, was the subject of discussion by
business men at a meeting held last night.
The law under which Mr.. Lasley was
charged with selling secondhand bicycles
without a license was passed in 1871 and
amended in 1881. 1t requires all dealers in
secondhand goods to pay license of $40
per annum, and under Judge Kimball's rul-
ing this requirement includes all merchants
who take old goods in part payment for new
ana dispose of the former.
The case of Mr.. Lasley, who was fined s..
was appealed as a test case to the Court
of Appeals. The meeting last night was for
the purpose of cooperating in payment OF
the expense attendant upon the case. a
number OF those present expressed them
selves vigorously upon the alleged injustice
OF the law, and it was unanimously agreed
to make an effort to have it repealed. if its
validity shall be established in the decision
OF the Court of Appeals when the Lasley
case is finally determined.
Oscar S Taylor was made treasurer and
also chairman of a committee to visit the
numerous business men affected by the Law
and secure their cooperation. The other
members of this committee were named as
r. S. Dimmyck, c. Royce IIough and B. II
Warner.
