fschools to be closed? If the board has the power to quarantine any part or portion of the city, has it not the pow CT also, to stop people from leaving or entering town where an epidemic exists? But such measures, would of course be extreme and only in cases of | epidemic would they be enacted. The question here is" said MT Kellogg. il, closing, "can the board of health order any school or if you please all the 1 schools to be closed if. in it's judg- ment, 1t thinks such step neces- sary?''
 Decision was reserved The case will undoubtedly go to the supreme court.
 l After the city court had reconvcue6 l this morning at 10:O5 o'clock the case of Aurellus Reichcnbach, president Of the Concordia Singing society, charged with selling liquors during unInw full hours occupied the greater part of the courts attention. Prosecuting A 9erf Fierce opened the cass by stating what the state expected to prove in the case Reichenbach was the prekident of the Concord1a Singing society. in whose rooms the liquor was said.
 Hejchenbach, as president of the so- citty, should be held sponsibis. He vas about to quote different paxssxea from the law books when Judge Teas ley told him to pre- seat the evidclica first. The trial was enlivened some wlat by continued objections on fEe part of Attorneys Brett and Minor for the defense Richard B Newman. re- cording secretary of the Concorfiia l Singing society, stated after Questions objected to by the defense, had been admitted, that he was the secretary Of the club and that MT Reichenbach was chosen president several months ago. The society is not incorporated. | State Police Officers Michael Joyce and John Flynn testified that on the sunday in question they went Into the Concordia hall in company with d man rom the Arlington hotel, whom they heard was Frank Lines. Lines nre~ sented card at the door and thus se- cured admission. The trio had lager beer at the expense of Officer E'lvnn
 on the second floor in a room where the bar is. Then they went into fha hall proper on the third floor and had. some more lager Officer Flynn sslfd that there were about 100 men woz men and, children drinking beer. but on crosS-exam1nation said he didn't know whether it was lager or ginger ale. The defense offered no evidehceS Attorney Pierce argued for a cunvie. ton on the ground that it had been proven that Reichebnach was nresi-' dent of the society and that beer had been sold in the society's rooms for which the president should be held re- sponsible. Attorney Brett asked for the discharge of the accused on inc ground that no connection of Reichen- bach with the sale of Iuuors had beer, proven, that it was not proved that he knew anything about it and quoted rom different law books to substanti- ate his statements. At 1:45 the arru- ments were finished and Judge Peas ley reserved decision until Monday afternoon. Court was then adjourned to I2:30. when the case against Druggist B. M. Roberts of West Main street. charged with illegal liquor selling. was to be tried. Tn the meantime it was settled on the payment of $75. This is the second case against Mir Roberts. be having been fined $1O0 and costs early in the week.
 several cases were settled outside of court, among them that against Col onel F. B. Mckinney, who is said 10 conduct some kind of a colored club. He was charged with selling liquor at the club on certain Sunday. The case was settled for $25.

They had a burglary case to investi- gate and other matters to look after. They will have left the city by Mon- day and number of people won't re-. gret their departure. About $1,50O or more were paid by the accused lduor dealers in fines or in settling their cases.
 The case of Mary George. charged with breach of the peace, in hitting an- other woman with stone. was settled for $15.

Abouf 6 o'clock, last Monday morning Gerome was on his way to work when he says that he was tackled by the C9gliotto duo. who asked him what he mad in his hands. He replied 'sNothing," and then they punched him and threatened to shoot him. each having a revolver in his hand. The accused denied that they had revolvers and said that Ger ome had knife which he said ne was going to use OH them. That is why they assaulted him. Both men were fined $25 and costs and an appeal was taken under bonds of $100.
