JUDGE MITCHELL'S DEMURRER
Full Text OF ksis Answer to Il. Il.
Enoch.

Police Judge D. A Mitchell through his
attorneys, Adams & Adams and Sankey
& Campbell, has filed as his answer to the
quo warranto petition of Judge Enoch,
motion TO strike out some of the vital
parts of the Enodh petition, accompanied
by a demurrer to the entire proceedings
instituted by Mr.. Enoch, and the case is
now perhaps in the proper shape for the
arm of the law to determine shortly as
to which of the two gentlemen is entitled
to the office of T7lce judge of the city.
The motion filed asks for the striking out
of the Enoch petition paragraphs 2, 4, Z,
s, Q, 10, II. r. 13, Il and Is, and also to
strike out the following from the 18th
paragraph of SAID petition, towit: Plain
tiff says that Notwithstanding the cleo
ton of said E. E. Enoch and his qualifi-
cation thereto" in the first part of said
paragraph, and the following from the
latter part of same, to-wit: "In place Of
the said E. E. Enoch." And to strike out
the following from the 17h paragraph:
And that the said E. E. EnOch be de-
clared entitled to said office as required
by law"
For his reasons for the said motion the
defendant states: First, because each and
all of said several paragraphs and parts
of paragraphs are not a necessary part
of said petition and are immaterial, re-
dundant and surplusage.
Second, the statute only authorizes the
name and title of the claimant to an Of
fee to make part of the petition when an
Office has been usurped, and the petition
does not show any usurpation of police
judge by defendant but, on the contrary,
shows he is rtghtfully, legally and law
fully in possession of said office.
Third, because SAID several paragraphs
are not connected with the subject mat
ter of this action, and . are not proper
parts thereof.
Fourth, because said several para graphs
and parts of paragraphs are not state
ments of any necessary ultimate facts in
plaintiffs cause of action.
The demurrer to the petition is as fol-
lows:
Now comes the defendant and subject
to the motion already filed herein to
strike out parts of the petition, demurs
to the petition for the following reasons:
First, the court has no jurisdiction of
the person of the defendant or the sub
ject of the action; second, the plaintiff
has no legal capacity 70 sue; third, there
is defect of parties plaintiff; fourth,
that several causes of action are improp-
erly Joined; fifth, the petition does not
state facts sufficient TO constitute a cause
Of action; sixth, the plaintiff has no au-
thority to bring or maintain this action.

Mr.. Editor:-For the good of suffer-
suffering from that most dreadful dis
your readers that the only specific In
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops"
is the name. and Five Drops" is the
dose. 1t Is not only acknowledged q
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use, but 1t Is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession. many OF whom use
this remedy in their daily practice. and
they state to us that 1t is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but 1t
never has failed and 1t never can fall
to cure any and all Of the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago. Neural
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness.
Nervousness. Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Five Drops" is not a patent medicine,
but was perfected only after vast re-
search In scientific fields. and at great
expense 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until 1t Is used. Many OF It's
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use OF
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the
valley. 1t is worth its weight in gold
to anyone suffering from any OF the
diseases for which 1t i recommended.
The price is low and within the reach
OF all. 81 per bottle for full size $500
