Open"
Fright away; 1t is open now. don't
believe In waiting on anybody. The
speaking will begin as soon as we can

TAKEN
TO DECISION.
Mayor Decides Case of Market
master Against FlOry.
SENTENCE WAS SUSPENDED.
The Case Was Heard Tuesday Morning
Before the Mayor and Arguments
Pro and Con We're Heard
Objections Are Noted.

The case Of Market Master Frank
Williams against the father of Jacob
Flory, charged with unlawfully occu-
pying g. market house stall on Satur-
day, was heard before the mayor Tues
day morning. Solicitor Ed. L. Smith
represented Williams and the city, and
Attorney J. A. Werntz represented
F'lory. A statement Of facts was agreed
upon between the attorneys before pro-
ceeding with the case. and then argu-
ments pro and con were made before the
court. The contention of the plaintiff
Is that Flory did not act in a manner
consistent with the real intent Of the
ordinance, and that he occupied the
stall without obtaining a license there
for or the permission Of the market
master, as provided for in the ordi-
nance. The contention Of the defendant
was that the stall was occupied by him
under verbal agreement with his
father; but the direct contention of the
defendants attorney was that an ac-
tion of ejectment should have been
commenced before Flory was arrested.
The mayor decided that Flory unlaw-
fully occupied the stall, as stated in
the affidavit, and that as to the action
Of ejectment, that such proceeding
would not have been the proper one
where the defendant only occupied the
stall for one day, as before the action
could possibly have been taken, Flory
may have removed therefrom and the
action be null, and that he could there
after re-occupy the stall and thus cause
unnecessary trouble to the authorities.
He stated that the ordinance sets forth
plainly in its provision what action
shall be taken in order to lawfully Oc-
cupy stall, where it has been leased
to another, and that such action was
not observed by Flory.
| AS to the contention Of the plaintiff
as to the ejectment proceedings, 1t was
also stated that after such proceedings
to occupy the stall that then proceedings
for his arrest could be taken. The
mayor stated that such action was not
within the meaning Of the ordinances,
and entirely unnecessary, as the pro-
vision of the ordinance was very plain.
He therefore adjudged Flory guilty
Of violating the provisions Of the ordi-
nance and the restrictions placed upon
market master dealers, and fined him
81 and costs. Attorney Werntz, on be-
half Of Flory, the defendant, immedi-
ately gave notice that exceptions would
be taken, and the case was reset for
hearing August End, before the mayor,
sentence being suspended.
