Mayor Williams was candidate for

and won. AS the time approached for
his assumption Of the more renumera-

the city council, to take effect when he
was sworn In as county attorney. The
council got together last night to Sc

many wanted the job and a deadlock
resulted. Adjournment was taken and
Williams is still mayor. How long this
condition will be permitted to contin-

The editor infers that DR.. Coffee is
likely to seek vengeance according to
the code duello In Iowa" AS to the
quarrel which the Weekly has invited
with the Des Moines doctor. few people
around Des Moines know or care any
thing; but some OF the lawyers fear
that this advertising Of the way Des
Moines lawyers Go things is not the
best supplement to the advertising the
boosters club is trying to give Des
Moines.
Lawyer Guernsey Is one Of the best
known Of those who practice at the
bar. He has large business as at
torney for railroads, banks and public
service corporations. He has long had
offices next door to those OF e. III. Hun
ter, and it is matter OF common be-
lief around the court house that they
have relationships more intimate than
those Of mere neighborhood. In the
Investigations which have been con-
Quoted at various times with view to
purifying the practice of law IN Des
Moines suspicion has more than once
pointed 10 cases in which Guernsey has
had hand. He has the reputation Of
being the biggest buffer at the bar.
The other lawyers are poking jibes at
the attorney for Coffee, and want to
know who will be seconds In the duel
when 1t comes off.
