Before Judge Cherry.

against William D. Clays for failure to
respond TO a citation issued by Richard
D. Hartley, referee in supplemental
proceedings in the case of the Kentucky
Liquor company VS.. James T. Wall ct.
al, Occupied Judge Cherrys time yes
terday. The testimony of Daniel Clays,
William D. Clays, George B. Green
wood and Referee Hartley was taken,
and the case was argued by A. l.. Hop
paugh for plaintiff and Samuel Nc
Dowall for defendant. after which the
court took the matter under advise
ment.
The contention was that William d.
Clays had property, an interest in the
Julia Dean mine, in his possession, be-
longing to Daniel Clays, which is le-
gally subject to the lien of plaintiffs
judgment against him. and, moreover,
that the accused failed to respond to 4
summons on supplemental proceedings.
A general defense was set up by Will
liam D. Clays to the allegations, and
also in justification that his per diem
and mileage from Bingham were not
advanced to enable him to attend the
referees hearing, hence making a de-
fective service and acquitting him of
contempt.

HEARD AND SEEN
IN TIMMONY'S COURT

The tale Of the Whitmore sewer con-
nection in all it's details was heard by
Judge Timmony and court room full
of spectators yesterday. George Suther-
land and Chris Diehl doing the heavies.
IL appeared that Sam Whitmore owns
a house up on Third East and that for
the benefit of the cook a sink and hot
water boiler have been put in the
kitchen, though neither of these were
introduced in evidence. Whitmore,
short time ago, wanted to make
connection with the sewer and asked
the city engineer to issue a permit:
Kelsey wouldn't because the board of
public works hadn't; Sewer Inspector
Spencer hadn't, because Kelsey
wouldn't, and the plumber wouldn't
because. Whitmore hadn't. The board
never would, and if somebody didn't,
who wouldn't?
Whitmore pondered. Then he saw
Farley Williams. and soldered the
connection for all time.
Next day, Spencer saw 1t. and had
the owner arrested for making connec-
lions without permit. The plumber.
the cook the plasterer, the brick
mason, the owner, the policeman and
the boy that goes after the tools were
examined closely. The substance of
the testimony was that the plumbing
had been done and the hands of the
shown by the monthly statement.
Long arguments were made, Diehl
sticking up for the sewers, and his o2-
ponent deploring the hardness of the
inspector in getting around to his part
of it. tl-
The court held that the defendant
had done just as he should have done.
in not waiting the pleasure of the city
officials, and the case was dismissed.
The court having ruled in the Whit
more case, the same charge against
Erskine, the plumber, was dismissed.
John Lunday was the next.

Diehl, Ito give an account of your

sent John down stairs to Jail for five
