A NERITAEIE TEMPEsT IN A TEAPOT.
The people of Aberdeen have had
some very exciting times, this week,
over an order of the Council to remove
certain shacks within the fire limits.
The owners objected and made COM
mon cause against the city. An in
junction was refused by Judge Irwin,
wholikewise declined to fix the amount
OF a supersedeas bond for appeal to the
Supreme Court. Wheeler Brothers,
the principal contestants, sent an
agent to Olympia and secured an al
tentative writ of mandate, returnable
on the Goth, and directing Judge Linn
to fix the amount of bond or show
cause. In the me8ntime, the city au-
thorities had begun tearing down the
buildings occupied by the Wheelers,
the karshew Brothers, Gabrilson &
Homer and tho Thompson Restaurant.
The karshews subsequently yielded
and moved their stock, and Gabrilson
& Homer promised to vacate in ten
days. BY the Mayors instructions, 8
barricade was built in front OF the
Wheeler Bros store, while the work
OF demolition went on. Soon it began
to rain and the water falling upon
perishable stock quickly led to capt..
ulation, and the contestants moved
out without waiting for their process
from the Supreme Court. AT last &C.
counts, the gentle dove of peace had
spread her wings over an apparently
contented community aud the strife
was at an end.
