street open SO as not to completely
block It.
A half dozen teamsters entered
the mayors Office Wednesday
morning and made bitter COM
plant against the company. They
claimed that the G. d. and M.
uses one side of the street for
piling dirt and bricks and the
other side for loading their wag-
ons, making II IhfpoSsibien iof any
wagon to pass. They claim that for
the past three days they have been
compelled to drive several streets
out of the way in order to get
around the blockade. The teamsters
said that the foreman of the sec
tion gang had informed them that
he had permission from the mayor
to block the street and had told
them in plain words to go to a
warmer climate,
Mayor Schern informed the
teamsters that he had given no
such permission and that the
company fully understands that the
city will not stand for the block
ing of streets at any time. He
assured the teamsters that the
matter would be taken up at
once with Manager Whysall, and
in the meantime an officer would
be sent to the street to see that
the blockade is removed.

with a post, and Jack looked unmen-

could bring Hannahs mother to the
court house to give the required con-

silent. Deputy Kutz promised to hold the
matter open until Mrs. Cohen could be

Later in the afternoon Goddard. with
choking voice, called up the license office
over the telephone to say that instead of
giving her consent his prospective mother
in-law had refused 1t in no equivocal
tones. He was profuse in his apology
for the trouble he had caused.
One other couple secured a license to
