December %, Mayor Farquharson and
Chief of Police Mitchell are called to
make answer In the district court.
Suit was filled this morning by J. D..
ChappelIe. Of counsel for G II, Wad-
kins and j f. Russell The claim IS
for $1,000. The suit is against the
two ndiyiduals
This suit will be a test case Of de-
cided Importance, aside from the
heavy damages claimed by the the
atre managers They allege there
was no law against the exhibition Of
tine pictures and no legal right for
stepping them They set up that the
manager and employees OF the Elite
We're arrested and that they were
cleared i'm police court
The computation Of damages is bas
ed on tine proposition that the exhibit
ticl as started Woud have run to
twenty performances in two days;
that the capacity Cf the house is 400
people and that the admission fee
was twenty-five cents; that the re-
ceipts would have been SI5 for each
performance, or SL2e0 in all They
charge that they spent $50 directly IN
advertising the pictures Of the fight
between the big men at Reno last
July aud that large number Of peo-
PIE were anxious to see the pictures
and fully intended to see them; that
there was large expense in preparing
for the show
A principal allegation is that the
mayor and chief Of police permitted
the preparations to the full extent Of
the actual beginning Of the show;
that there was plainly Of time in
which to have notified the promoters
against the performances; that the
house was full when policemen APP
peared and that SIS was refunded the

mitted advertising
The authority under which the the
atre force was arrested was under

that pictures do not come under the
classification and that there was 10
authority for police Intervention,
which was understood to be at the

Working Of prisoners Oh the county
