ed out the case on the grounds of a de-
feet in the indictment. The case was
tried by jury in Recorder Nickelsen's
court last October, when Fouts was fined
5000 for violating the Sunday closing or
dinance. This is the case which brought
out the injunction suit to prevent pay
ment of certain expenses incurred in the
prosecution Of the saloon men. Attor-
news JAYNE and Henderson say the in
junction suit will likely be dropped, as
the newly-elected councilmen have no
intention Of allowing payment of the

The revival meeting at the U B. church
is growing in interest. Sunday night
the church was crowded, with many
standing. Rev. Rossman is delighting
and helping the people with his heart
stirring songs. Sunday morning Is were
received into the church, making total
OF 80 in the recent past, with quite
number to unite in the near future.
Souls are being saved almost every
night, and many are thinking seriously
of the better way. Rev. Merrill is
preaching every night. The large cho-
rus completely fills the platform and is
composed only of earnest Christians.
All are invited to these meetings.
The circuit court last week sustained
the decision of Recorder Nickelsen made
three years ago in the case OF the city
VS.. Stranahan, when the city sought to
sue Stranahan because he did not COM
ply with the ordinance in plating lands.
The recorders decision declared the o.
dinance invalid at that time because it
had not been enrolled. The city ap.
pealed and has been waiting ever since
| for an answer The ordinances, though,
we're Immediately enrolled and are now
duly in force. To avoid like contin-
gences, the street committee last week
employed City Surveyor Henderson to
establish permanent lines and mon
uments for Blowers addition.
