FRANKIE.
The case of Tacki & Tuerk was
taken up.
The complaint of Elizabeth Dodge
vs.. Tacki & Tuerk was read.
And now comes Frank Tuerk, and
Bernard Tacki, by John G. Slater, and
Baker & Baker, their attorneys, and
appears specially and not generally,
and for a particular purpose, to-Wit:
for the purpose of making a motion.
The said Frank Tuerk and Bernhard
Tacki move that these proceedings be
dismissed for the reason that this Hon
orable body has no jurisdiction of the
subject matter, and has no jurisdiction
of the person of FranksTuerk or Bern
hard Tack, or either of them for the
reason that there has been no sum
mons properly issued or served by
your Honorable body, or by its City
Clerk, upon the said Frank Tuerk, or
Bernhard Tacki or either of them.
And for the further reason that there
is no proof of service.
The law provides that when a COM
plant is made against any person,
especially against a saloOnkeeper, to
your Honorable body, that the City
Clerk shall issue a summons, COM
handing that person to appear before
that body, and show cause why certain
things should not be done, and the law
further requires that this summons
shall be served by constable. | have
in my hand the original summons, or
what purpOrts to be summons. and
we contend that this summons, or this
pretended summons, confers no juris-
dictiOn upon your Honorable body. 1t
is not summons. 1t does not purport
to be issued by any one.
Aid. GOnnermann moved that the
prayer of the attorneys for the defend
ant be granted and the proceedings
under this complaint be dismissed.
