CASE SUBMITTED.
Auctioneer Levy's Action for
a Mandamus.
The City Puts in Warm Answer to
His Suit, Justifying Its
Cause.

The suit of Samuel S. Levy go Sc
cure writ of mandamus compelling
the mayor and city council tc grant
him an auctioneer's license was tried
before Judge Cray in chambers last
Monday. Messrs.. G. F. Williams aud
S. S. Levy were sworn for the relator,
and City Recorder Williams for the
respondent. The case was then sub
mitted, and the court took it under
advisement.
City Attorney Dailey's answer in
this case was warm number. After
admitting the facts connected with
the history of the case, it alleges that
the relator is not, in the judgment of
the council, a fit and proper person to
be granted license as auctioneer in
the city.
1t alleges that the relator used in
sulting language before the council on
Aug. 18th, and stated that he would
sell at auction whether the council
granted him license or not; that
after he was refused license he ad-
verSised to sell at auction on the eve
ming of Aug. 18th, and that said ad-
vertisement was fraud and trick to
gather people to the place of business
of G. F. Williams & Co. that at said
time, the relator, in the presence of a
large gathering of people, heaped
abuse upon the common council and
several business and professional men
of the city.
The answer, continuing. says that
the council believes that the granting
of license to such a person as the re-
lator would disturb the peace and hsr-
mony of the business men of the city,
and the actions of the relator has con-
WINGED it that he is not an honest
man.
1t is alleged that the relator is not
leagl voter and cannot get license
