Nominee for City Attorney at Hot

who won the Democratic nomination
for city attorney in the recent pri-
mares over Reid CAN'T by II votes,
may be deprived of the fruits of his
victory. Mr.. Huff resides outside the
city limits, and it is claimed that he is
ineligible.
r. c. Davis has announced for city
attorney, and has raised the question
OF Mr.. Huff's eligibility. Mr.. Davies
held the same office a number of years
age when the city attorney was elect
ed by the council, and as he resided
outside the city limits this issue was
raised against him, but he held on, it
being the opinion at that time that he
was eligible on account of the cffice
being appcintive.
Mr., Gnatt says that he is the nom1-
nee if Mr.. Huff's ineligibility is estab.

the fight. He is now asking members

performed Mr. Peterson has askedd
some Of the aldermen to take up the
matter fcr him at the next meeting
and see if an allowance cannCt be
made him for the time he served .Just
what will be done remains to be seen
One councilman says he does not
see how the city can allow Mr.. Peter
son anything for his services as ne
was never employed in the capacity of
chief OF police by the council and his
appointment was never even ratified by
them. At each regular meeting of the
council Mr.. Petersen has presented a
claim for the salary of chief Of police
and at each separate meeting the
council has persistently refused to al
low the same. r
AS one member of the council ex.
presses it: "Mr. Peterson went into
the office with his eyes open. He
has lost the fight. The money must
be paid to Mr.. Culpepper and any al.
