In her narrow casket bed
They have placed my darling wife.

Far away from care and pain
May she rest in Jesus keeping,
For hope to meet her again
When the Lord shall take me home
By her husband,

Suit Dismissed.

Judge Edward C. Peter. in the Circuit
Court here. has handed down his decision
in the suit of Louis C. Witkowski against
the mayor and council Of Glen Echo. dis
missing the bill of complaint and placing
the costs on WitkOwski.
The suit was instituted last summer, at
which time Witkowski was mayor OF Glen
Echo, to enjoin the carrying into execution
of an alleged ordinance appropriating
money of the town Of Glen Echo. and also
to restrain the holding of an election to
fill a vacancy in the council Of Glen Echo.
because of alleged Irregularities in the
selection of one Of the judges to officiate
at the election. At the time the suit was
filed temporary injunction was granted
by Judge Peter and the election was not
held. In his decision Judge Peter asserts
that the court erred in preventing the
election.
THE election should have been held.
declared Judge Peter, land then II the
plaintiff was dissatisfied with the result
he could have contested 1t in the manner
provided by the charter Of Glen Echo.
which is by an appeal to the circuit court
of the county.
As to the alleged appropriation Of money
the decision says, the evidence clearly
establishes that 1t was not even proposed
much less adopted.
As the purposes for which the proceed
ines were instituted were accomplished BY
the temporary injunction. the only effec
of the decision is to place the costs, which
amount to about $500. Witkowski, or hi
bonding company. will have these to pay
Witkowski was represented in the cas-
by Attorneys Thomas Dawson and AleS
