THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Come, let us have a chance at chess,
For you can win, without a doubt;
And | shall suffer great distress,
Knocking pawns and castles (air)

True, its only a game, only a game
But carries deep interest, all the same.
Well, I've played with many a game of
chess,
And you're passing good / must con-
fess;
So, if I've beat you, this much know,
Twas because began, ages ago!
1t is patience and practice wins this
game,
So much like life and its battle throe;
Still, it's only a game, only a game
While it carries deep interest all the
same.
Now don't look dowie, but at it again,
I'll show you a move that seems very
plain
See? l played a year to learn that
trick,
For what's worth learning is not learn

You are young, quite clever and will

But life's best lessons are slow to con

Ay, it's only a game, only a game

Wolf Cohen and Solomon Salamewicz,

HEARING ON
CERTIORARA
Lawyer Peterson Examines Wit
neSSeS Before JUDGE Lyon
as Special Master
ARISES FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Testimony was taken before Judge
Lyon, as special master, this morning
in the certiorari case brought by
Samuel w. Hornsby, for the firemen,
against the city. The hearing COM
menced shortly after 10 o'clock in
Judge Lyons office, and was over be-
fore IL o'clock.
Lawyer Peter A. Peterson was the
attorney for the prosecutor and City
Attorney @. G. Hommann represent
ed the defense. The testimony,
which was taken down stenographic-
ally by Charles M. Thickstun, will be
used when the case is argued In the
supreme court during the September
term.
AS has been told in the NEWS,
when the council passed an ordi-
nance to establish a paid fire depart
ment in this city several months ago,
the firemen, through Samuel w.
Hornsby, held up the matter on a
writ of certiorari, which was obtain
ed by Lawyer Peter A. Peterson.
Until the case is decided a paid fire
department cannot be established
here and the outcome is awaited with
interest.
Mr.. Peterson, this morning, called
City Clerk LaRoe and Chief Mead, Of
the fire department, as witnesses.
The former was questioned in regard
to the actions of the council in re-
gard to the ordinance and books
were submitted as evidence.
Mr.. Peterson asked IL the council
had passed resolution to disband
the volunteer department and Mr..
LaRoe replied that 1t had not. It
was also brought out that the volun-
teer department. was established by
ordinance, approved January FL,
1880, Lincoln Engine Company be-
ing the first company to organize.
Chief Mead said he thought the lat
ter organized in December, 1881.
In the ordinance of 1880 there is
a clause which says that no officer or
member of the volunteer department
shall receive pay for his services.
Chief Mead, when asked by Mr.. Pc
terson If the firemen received any
pay, replied that every member re-
ceives $12 a year from the city.
Through Mr.. Mead, Lawyer Peter
son obtained data relative to the
present departm ent, such as the
number of men in each company,
the number Of horses and apparatus.
Mr.. Hommann called no witnesses
and when he was given permission to
cross-examine, he only asked Mr.. La
Roe few questions. When he was
given the same privilege with Mr..
Mead, he only asked If all of the ap-
paratus and fire houses and the
horses not previously enumerated,
belonged to the city. Mr.. Mead said
they did, with the exception of the
furnishings in the houses, which be-
longed to the various companies.
The original ordinance establish
ing the volunteer fire department
and the one to establish paid de-
partment, together with an order
submitted by Mr.. Peterson, were
placed in evidence. The testimony
was taken by consent Of counsel for
both sides.
