COURT SUGGESTED
METHOD OF SOLUTION
OF Difficulties Between Officials OF
the Town of Warsaw.


the Town of Warsaw.
The argument in the case of e. V.
Toomer and the town of Warsaw
against Henry Ambos, a rule to show
cause why the defendant should not
turn over the books of the town to
the plaintiff, was heard yesterday be-
fore Judge Cam in the Superior Court.
The argument for the plaintiffs was
made by Mr.. Raiford Falligant and
when he concluded Mr.. W. B. Stubbs,
attorney for Mr.. Ambos, moved to dis
miss the action.
Judge Cam then suggested that
the two attorneys get together and
draw up a statement of the root of
the trouble, and submit that to him
to be passed upon. This course, he
stated, would save considerable time
and expense and would probably be
the best way of ending the entire mat
ter. The attorneys agreed to take
a try at this method, and the court
gave them until Tuesday to draw up
the case. If they have not agreed by
that time he viii pass upon Mr.. Stubs
motion to dismiss the case. If the
motion is sustained that will end the
matter; if over-ruled, the argument
for the defense is yet to be heard.
In his answer to the petition of
the plaintiff, Mr.. Ambos charges that
the aldermen of the town are running
things for the object of personal gain.
AS an instance he stated that when
the license fees were due, he was ask
ed to take, in lieu of money, certain
certificates or evidences of the towns
Indebtedness. This he declined to do,
and then the trouble began.
There is an ordinance in effect in
the town that licenses can be paid in
this manner, and it is probable that
upon the validity of this ordinance,
Judge Cam will be asked to pass.
Mr.. Ambos has already signif1ed his
intention to give bond, if need be,
but claims that the ordinance mem
toned above is illegal and cannot
hold. A full history of the case has
been given heretofore in the Morning
News

HAwLEY HANDLED ROUGHLY.
Strenuous Day for the Caterer i'm
City Market.

Stir enough prevailed at Hawley's in
the city market yesterday, when tele-
phones rang, butchers cut, drivers hur-
ried, people bought, and, above it all,
Hawley smiled and told 'em to come
on. Nothing pleases him more than a
customers rush. The people dash and
Hawley's there to stop them. And
his ammunition is the best supplies
in town, from quail to beef. Don't
drive your teeth into tough stuff. Avoid
wear and tear by trading where you
know what you get. Hawley heads off
complaints by treating his trade right.

Mai. Walter E. Coney was examined
yesterday by Lieut.. Col w. L. Gray

animation and makes its report to the
Adiutant General, his commission as

George Siler takes it that Corbett is

going out Of his class to give Jimmy
a chance:
In stepping out Of his class to bat
tie for title in division one notch
above the class he has been fighting in,
Corbett will not necessarily be consid-
cred out Of the featherweight running.

tains the featherweight championship

er boys in that class because of his
weight, and the other the lightweight,
as Joe Cans, the present holder Of the
title, cannot battle at the required linn
it. Cans will probably claim his right
to the championship on the same lines
that Corbett lays>claim to the feather
weight title, as he can battle within as
many pounds of the limit in his class
as can Corbett in his.
Malachy Hogans line of thought is
most commendable, in that he asserts
that Corbett is going about it the right
way to- secure a championship. He
writes:
That Young Corbett is trying to
make a real champion of himself is ap
parent Judging from the alacrity with
which he and Jimmy Britt came to
terms the other night.
presumably the coming fight, which
will probably take place in February,
will be for the featherweight champion
ship. that most abused title of all Cor
bett hung out for 129 pounds at o.
clock when the match was first talked
Of Britt who in reality is pure
lightweight. insisted on 1870 pounds at
the same hour. Corbett finally gave in,
probably figuring that Brllt Wculu
have hard work in getting down to 1870.
When Britt and Jack OKeefe fought
their 20-ropnd draw at Butte, both
were over the lightweight limit or 133
pounds. From what l have learned.
! Britt has not lost any weight since he
| last fought and he may find consider
able trouble meeting the stipulations.
If Corbett trains as hard for the
coming fight as he did for his fight
with Hanon. l can only see another
victory for the champion. AS pointed
out last Sunday. it would be the proper
thing for the champion, in the event
, of a vOctOry. to go after Yanger, whom
he has not yet defeated. This, de-
spite the fact that Yanger was beaten
by Hanlon.'
