JUDGE FRANK BULLOCK, who was
beaten by a Republican for county judge
of Fayette after an uninterrupted ten :
ure of Is years, came back" again on
Saturday when he was renominated for
the same office by nearly thousand
more votes than his two opponents re-
ceived together Judge Geo. B. Kincaid,
who fought him hardest, came out a
very poor third. Hogan Yancey, the
noted ball player, was nominated for
county attorney over field of four, and
Matt Savage Walton won the prize for
the Legislature over Peter G. Powell. 1t
was the quietest election ever held in
in Fayette county.

City Council Proceedings.

There were probably more motions
made and less business done at the
council meeting last night than for a
long time. Every member seemingly
had something good to offer but it seems
that his good thing" did not strike the
other brother members with sufficient
force to meet second, and several of
those that were supported did not carry
by a majority vote.
Work was ordered on several streets
of the city and this will be good news to
all, for in many places it is badly need

Plans were submitted and accepted
for the sewer from Eastern Normal and
the sewer committee in conjunction with
Mayor Rice were appointed to arrange
terms and conditions. 1t was suggested
that the sewer. after its completion, be
the property of the city, but this was
not decided upon, as in that case the
city would go TO the additional cost of
sustaining it.
The newly nominated city attorney,
Mr.. ID. NJ. Chenault, appeared for the
telephone people, asking the privilege
of trimming trees that were obstructing
the wires Of the company. This was re-
ferred to City Attorney Collins and the
street committee.
Moved, seconded and carried that au-
tobiles be permitted to run not faster
than twelve miles per hour in the city.
This was done to comply with the State
law. Previously six miles was the limit.
Reports of the city treasurer and chief
of police were received and accepted.
Collector Wilson reported S3S5.27 collect

The total tax list and polls for the

the other two tried, get life sentence.
The testimony shows startling degree
of depravity, even for the feud ridden
county. The conspirators went at it in
a business way aud appear to have dis

immunity from punishment, as other
assassins had been. 1t is a great pity
that the death sentence is not inflicted.

In Magistrate Buckley's Court at
Patrick Mulrooney against John F.
Mulrooney, his son whom he sought
to oust from a saloon on the west
side OF the city which he leased the
young man for ten years, gave judg-
ment in favor of the defendant. This
means that the younger Mulrooney
will retain possession of the property
The case was heard yesterday af-
ternoon, the elder Mulrooney claim
ing that his son had failed to live
up 10 an agreement into which they
entered when the former leased the
saloon property located at No 1925
Chstnut street TO his son for ten
years from September. 1911. at $500
year, to he paid in monthly install
ments of $50.
The plaintiff was represented by
Samuel S. Adams who contended that
the son had broken the lease by fail
ing to pay the rent promptly. He said,
however. that they we're willing TO
overlook the rent, provided. the de-
fendant would give up possession Of
the property. This, however, the de-
fendant. who was represented by
Robert H. Richards, was not willing,
and Mr. Richards caused a commo-
tion when he laid a roll of bills
amounting to $1,000 on Magistrate
Buckleys desk and told him and the
referees to take out of the money
what rent was coming to the elder
Mulrooney. Had Mr.. Richards thrown
q bomb on the floor he would not
have caused any more surprise.
Mr. Richards claimed that the
father owed the son more money than
the son owed for rent and presented
an itemized bill amounting 10 S2.SSS.0f
which he claimed the father owed
the son. This account included board
al S5 a week for five years water
rent and the son had paid on the
property. and $3.50 he had spent on
