The first council meeting was held In the
third floor of a brick building now on Far
nam street and numbered 1106-1110, known
at the time as the Legislative hall. The
meeting was called at o'clock on the af-
ternoon of Thursday, March 8, 1867, by
Mayor Jesse Lowe. The council records
for this date bear this notation: "In pur-
suance to call by the mayor, Jesse Lowe,

lection, and Davidson's side lost the case.
1t was appealed to the county court; the
same point came up. and the ruling of the
squire was upheld.
Six months had gone. Another appeal
was taken to the circuit court. A year
went by before the final decision was
handed down, and the squires ruling was
again sustained. Another appeal was taken
and this time to the court of appeals
The docket was crowded and time dragged
on through two long years before the high
est judicial body in the state delivered the
opinion that the squire was in error and
that Mr.. Davidson might be permitted to
tell what Mr.. Jones said.
The case was remanded. Again 1t came
up before the squire.
Four years had elapsed and still Mr..
Davidson carried the secret in his posses
sion. The whole country was wild to know
what Mr.. Jones had said, and nearly the
whole population was present at the trial.
The persistent lawyer who had appealed
so many times put Mr.. Davidson on the
stand. He asked him many questions.
Finally, with furtive glance toward the
opposing counsel, and with a CLEAN OF
triumph In his eye, he said:
