DEPOSITS BONDS so HE
MAY ATTEND CHURCH
sawteIie Saloonkeeper Disnisses His
Bondsmen, but Puts Up Money
When He Finds Case Cam
not Be Heard

When p. ]. Flynn, the sawtelle saloon
keeper who was arrested last week, dis
missed his bondsmen and surrendereo
himself to the custody of Sheriff Ham
mel, he overlooked the possibility Oh
spending Sunday in Jail. His purpose IN
going to Jail, was to give his attorney
an opportunity to apply for a writ Oh
habeas corpus, to secure his release.
The writ was returnable yesterday be-
fore Judge Wilbur, but he was unable to
hear it, and continued the case for one
week. This was not at all to the liking
of the defendant, and counsel importuned
the court to set an earlier date. Monday
of next week was the best they could get,
but still they were not happy.
Finally it was decided to withdraw the
writ and renew the bonds so Flynn could
get out of Jail over Sunday to go to
church. Another application for habeas
corpus proceedings will be made next
week, but the next time Flynn invites
himself to jail it will be earlier in the
week.

GETTING TOGETHER
Conferees on Disagreeing Vote
on Reunion Matter Appear to
Be Hopelessly Divided.

President William NJ. Turpin. of the

to meet those named by President
Peters, OF the Common Council, on be-
half of that body TO consider the dis
agreeing votes of the two branches on
the appropriation for the entertainment
of visitors to the Confederate reunion.
1t Is interesting to note that, whether
by accident or design, those named by
President Turpin are all Aldermen who
voted for his amendment to make the
appropriation $4,000, instead of $4,000,
while those named by President Peters
all voted for the 100000 figure The
conferecs are:
From the Board-AlderInen John

From the Common councl-Messrs.

1t looks as If the committee will be as

bodies, and the outcome of the confer
cnce is, therefore, impossible, to foresee.
