Chicago, May "A defect in the

Trouble Said to Be Brewing Over the Proposed Second Ward
 Election.

The election for councilman for the Second ward to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of w. II. McPhee is set for Monday, September 50. There are no new candidates so far as known, besides those announced in the last issue of the NUGGET J. NeStor and $. C. Milligan. Mr. NestOr is not at all anxious to enter the contest and Mr. Milligan does not seem to be on the anxious seat.
 A rumor is current today that there will be an attempt made to prevent the election on the ground that iU is illegal. The people of the Seventh ward. to which Councilman HOXsie was assigned by recent ordinance, are being ploughed with, so it is said, in order to induce them to demand that council man be elected who lives in the Seventh, and it is further stated that the matter will be brought to the attention of the city council at it's meeting next Mon- day night.
 It is even hinted that the law will be invoked. and Judge Wickersham may be asked to issue an injunction to pre- vent the Second warders from electing a councilman.

Ye,terday afternoon, in the case bs ! Kjnlball ct al vs. Price ct al, involving what is known as the "Californa frar- ton" Q bench claim of Glacier creek, f Judge Wickersham issued injunctions restraining all parties from working the claim.
 This is a new departure in this judicial division, -a 5 hitherto under the practice of the former Judge, one of the contest. ing parties was allowed to pGt up bond and continue work. The'action of Judge Wickersham seems to meet the approv- al of attorneys on all sides, nOtwith- standing the lact that the claim cannot be worked until the case is finally ad-
 iuSted.
 1t has not been decided yet whether 6 jury shall be drawn at this special term. It is stated that many attorneys cannot get around to the trial of their cases; if one side is ready the other is not Up to date there are only four cases where both sides are ready for trial.
 A citation has been issued in the ease of the United States vs. Albert T. Stout, J. J. Mckay, J F.. Binet ct al, to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court This case grows out of the litigation involving Neg Gold Run.
