.DENVER'S ALDERMEN AND
MAYOR READY TO APPEAL
Plea Upon Which Confine-
ment VIII Be Resisted.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 1O.-Attorneys for
Mayor Wright and the eleven members
OF the board of aldermen who have been
sentenced to four months in the county
Jail by Judge Mullins. for contempt OF
court. I'm disobeying his injunction re-
stra.ning them from passing a tramway
ordinance, have concluded upon what
grounds they will appeal to the supreme
court 90 save them from confinement.
The supreme court viii be asked to
set aside the sentence on the ground that
the council is a legislative body; that
it is required by the statutes TO per
form certain prescribed duties at stated
times. and that the action Of Judge
Mullins is such as 70 prevent IL from
performing those duties.
There Is no one deputized to perform
the duties OF the board, rs there is in
The case Of the mayor or the county
clerk They must be performed by the
members themselves or remain undone.
It will be contended that, such being
the case, the sentence is excessive and
unreasonable. and therefore ought not
TO stand.
