that the collection of this license was
illegal A test case was tried and an ap-
peal taken TO the supreme court. Pend
ing this appeal no more licenses were col
lected from the protesting merchants.
Recently however. the supreme court al
firmed tine decisions of the lower courts
and declared that the collection of this
license was legal. As a result warrants
are being issued for all of those who
have failed to pay the license. The prob
abilities are that the merchants will ac-
cept the decision as final and the licenses
will be paid.

SEVEN SUITS ARE STARTED
Actions of All Sorts Are Begun
IN the District
Court.

Seven new actions were begun in the
district court yesterday. These ranged
from a suit to quiet title to land to ac-
tions for damages on account of personal
injuries. Most unusual was the case filed
by Mrs. Emma Wertz against George T.
Terry. her landlord. This was an action
of fOrcible entry and detainer. 1t is stat
ed that this is the first case of it's kind
filed in the district court here within
the last ten years at least. Already there
are several actions pending in the courts
between Mrs. Wertz and Mr.. Terry.
For some time Terry has been trying
to get Mrs. Werz out of rooming house
owned by him and over which she holds
an uneXpiTed lease. As a result both
brought, and recently Terry took possess
sion of the house under rights claimed to
have been his by reason of the actions
brought by him in the courts and this is
what led up TO the present action.
There are two causes of action in the
complaint filed yesterday, one for forci-
BILE entry and the other for fOrcible de-
tainer Mrs. Wertz now seeks to recover
possession; also $50 damages. Another
case which she has pending against Terry
is for SLIGO damages on account of a
criminal case which he brought against
her and which was dismissed in the city
court.
To recover S5135 damages Charles H
owen has instituted suit against Arthur
Skeen and James Skeen. Owen in his
complaint alleges that the defendants
built a dam across Salt creek about Nov.
of last year and that this backed the
water up onto his land adjoining. He
claims the water thus backed up weak
ened a roadway over which he was driv-
ing TO such an extent that he was thrown
from his wagon and seriously injured.
Philip East wants the Southern Pacific
to give him SEQ damages for horse that
was killed by a locomotive last July.
Alleging cruelty, Joseph Wood filed an
action for divorce from his wife, Lizzie
Wood, to whom he was married at Hoop
er Nov. %, 1906.
Catetain Ducheneau brings suit against
Peter Loustau to recover $1,000, alleged to
be due on a land sale said to have been
executed March of this year. Ducheneau
alleges that there was a verbal contract
between himself and Loustau by which
the price agreed upon was TO be $1,000
and that but 5000 of this amount has
been paid.
