CITY DECIDES TO

Orders Legal Department to
Investigate Main Street
Bridge Situation.

Instructions were given the legal de-
partment of the city by the board of
public works this morning to ascer-
tain if the city could force the traction
company to remove it's tracks from the
Main Street bridge, and if the company
could be forced to contribute to the ex-
pense of remodeling the bridge, and
whether the company could be made
to remove it's feed wires from the
bridge. This action was taken follow
ing the reading of the report of John
Mueller, county engineer, on the con-
dition of the structure.
That the city will have but little
trouble in forcing the company to re-
move it's feed wires from the bridge,
Wilfred Jessup, acting city attorney,
has no doubt. The report of the coun-
ty engineer recommends that the wir-
es be removed at least fifty feet from
the bridge.

r. K. Shiveley marked the afternoon
session of the trial The feeling crop
ped out early when the jury was ex-
cused by the court while the Judge
heard arguments relative to admis-
sion of certain evidence. The manner
of procedure desired by attorney
Shiveley was not allowed by the court
and while the attorney was arguing
the pointed, he was interrupted by the
other counsel. Finally attorney John
son asked the deputy prosecutor in
substance whether he wanted to make
it rough and tumble fight, to which
Shiveley replied he was ready. The
two were quoted, however. Mr.. John
son inquired as to the presence of at
torney Shiveley in the case. He want
ed to know of a witness whether he
had employed Shiveley to assist Ladd,
and other matters relatiging to Mr..
Shiveley's connection with the case.
The deputy prosecutor interrupted and
informed Mr.. Johnson if he would look
up the records he would learn how he
came to be associated with Mr.. Laid;
that he was deputy prosecuting attor-
ney.
