Simpson represented Receiver Beattie,
and the city was rcprcscted by the
city attorneys and Mr.. lIagood. a
number of Anderson's leading citi-

unsafe condition of the bridge and the
constant caying Of the embankments
on each side. This testimony will be
submitted to Judge Simonton, who will
name date for argument, after which

that cross it every day, we have no
doubt he would soon decide that sub
