Hereafter when Il member Of the
city council enters into contest for
his seat, he will have to use the means
provided in the charter and take his
case before the city council. Accord
ing to Il permanent injunction issued
Tuesday by Judge Cray, Claus o.
Peterson will not be reimbursed for
the expenses incurred in the contest
Of Alderman Westphal last fall.
These expenses amounted to $3.50,
which is money out of pocket for Pc
tcrson. The injunction restraints the
city comptroller from paying the mon
ey, even though the city council au-
thoriZed the payment. The saving of
this sum is due to the vigilance of
Frank II. Cashier, who, as Il taxpayer,
took steps to have the injunction is
sued. The court said that while sim
liar bills had been paid in the past
there had never been IL protest AS
Il matter of law the city council had
10 authority whatever to authorize
the payment of expenses in the case
of such election contests. 1t is claim
ed that contestants have not followed
the plan provided by the charter be-
cause. according to the arbitrary
method adopted. it was possible to
put in Il bill for more than the actual
expenses, thus making the contest
medium Of profit.
Miss Rose Wonder, residing at Z
Main street southeast, owes her life
to Lieutenant John Mcnamara and
Thomas Williams of Fire Truck Com
pany No. 2, for they carried her from
her burning building While in an I'M
conscious condition Sunday morning
at $50 o'clock. She had been caught
in a rear room on the top floor of the
building, and, as smoke arising from
a small fire in the basement began to
fill her apartment as well as those OF
all the other inmates of the house, she
gradually sank into Inconsistencies.
When the fremen arrived the house
was filled with dense. sutfocating
smoke. Lieutenant Mcnamara and
Fireman Williams scaled IL ladder and
went through IL window on the top
floor. There they We're confronted by
total darkness and thick smoke. They
made their way from room to room,
searching. In Il rear room they found
Miss Wonder, unconscious and rapidly
sinking from the effects Of the smoke.
They dragged her from her bed and
carried her through a long hall to the
front window. Firemen were there
ready to grasp the woman and take
her to the ground. Lieutenant Nc
Namara was almost overcome, but re-
vived within a few moments, and in
spite of protests turned back into what
seemed almost certain death, together
with Williams.
