a fruit store.
Just prior to the starting Of the hearing
a tart reply was filed in behalf Of the
Italians by J. c. Kinsler. The reply de-
clares that the suit is not brought in good
faith and constitutes a fraud. The orig
inal petition is against the Philbln-
Murphy Hotel company and the Italians.
and is to dispOssess both. But the Phil
bin-Murphy company met with reverses
some time ago and J. c. Philbin is now
lessee, in fact. from VogeL.
The real fact in the case is tina because
Of the daylight closing law the hotel does
not wish to operate the Heidelberg cafe

the building into a storeroom. When the
cafe was established the floor was raised

scarce. Unable to secure laborers WITH
