market, brought the city attorney a,oDS
and the repartee between Mr. Pollard and
The Great Dispenser is always pyrOtech-
,lical and Interesting.
The Great Law-Giver declared that
he was always glad To see the city at
tornay; that he had listened 10 the opin
ions OF the city attorney for nearly thir
~ years and WAS always governed by
them, when the city attorneys opinions did

FIRST DODGE.
He alse expressed delight that Captain
sullivan had brought the city attorney
siong 10 decide the case, whereupon that
Sunctionary suggested that II was the
first time he had known the Great Dis
penser 10 dodge.

and wleelrigilt shop on Eighteenth street
The clerk OF The market has jurisdiction
for 200 yards around the market and desig-
=fT vii hrl- !,
area where country carts may stand to
sell their produce
Mr.. Goodman had an empty cart in
front Of tliE shop inside this area, which he
had sold ana placed It there for delivery.

Try cart. When Mr.. Goodman came his
cart was gone, he did not know whore,
rand he raised q stout objection. had an al
4ercatioa with the clerk and the warrant
WAS the result.
NOT a FAIR DEAL.
In the evidence il was brought out that
at some OF tho best stands in the market
men kept dummy carts with bunch OF
onions or neets in them as make be-
.eve which they used to occupy these
Desirable spaces whi,s the real cart in
ase for hauling produCa had returned 10
the country for another load, and thus
kept possession of the best positions con-
rinuously and the Great Dispenser de-
clared this practice was illegal.
The points in tha case which the city
attorney was called on to settle, however,
was whether the man who was in business
on the street or the clerk had the right
20 control the street in front Of his place
Of business MIR. Pollard declared that
The Two ordinances on the subject could
be made TO clash and that both should be
enforced with discretion, that when the
occupant Of the place of business needed
the space he should have it. and when
the spacc was not in use the clerk should
have the right TO assign it
The charge against Mr. Goodman was dis
missed.
