Police Judge Morrissey will tomor-

case Of the City of Ottumwa VS.. VIII
liam Rutherford, Milwaukee yardmas-
ter, who is charged with violating the
city ordinance regarding the switching
of cars over the Market street cross
ing. The case was aired this morning
before the magistrate. Judge Morris
sey's decision il the case will show
whether the city ordinance regulating
switching over Market street is valid
or invalid. The Market street switch
ing has been the cause of much fight
ing between the city authorities and
the railroad company. Several months
ago the council passed an ordinance
making it a misdemeanor to switch
over the crossing, which is one OF the
busiest thoroughfares in the city. The
ordinance makes the penalty fine Of
from 81 to 500 or thirty days In Jail.
Patrolman Frank Harris, who arrested
.Yardmaster Rutherford, was the city's
chief witness.
