Feudner, the south Main street sa-

rion. The case was commenced in
the mayors court and Feudner was
fined $25 for failing to keep a light
burning in his saloon at night, in
accordance with the lid ordinance,
recently passed by the city council.
The petitioner claims that the de-
cree of the court was against the
law and the evidence. He claims
that the council has no constitutional
right to pass an ordinance such as
resulted in Feudner's arrest because
it conflicts with the laws Of the state
