CITY Wins
In Suit Against GaIanty & Alper Own.
ers Of the Central Garage Build
ing and Defendants Must Re.
move Building.

In Circuit Clerk James b. Keys Of
flee Saturday afternoon Circuit Judge
c. d. Newell heard arguments in the
case of the City of Maysville against
Galanty & Alper, owners of the Cen
trail Garage Building. After hearing
the arguments by the attorney Judge
Newell granted an injunction to the
city. The building must be torn down
within the next sixty days.
Several months ago, soon after the
building was erected, Fire Chief New
ell recommended that the building be
condemned as a fire trap, as it was
constructed of wood and was a menace
to the property owners surrounding
the place. The matter was brought up
before the City Council and referred
to the Proposition and Grievance Com
mittee. This committee decided that
the building was nuisance and Or
dered it torn down. The owners en-
tered suit to keep the city from do
ing this. The city later asked for an
injunction.
The result of the case has been in
doubt for several months. 1t il
thought by many that the case will bt
taken to the Court of Appeals by thu
property owners, who claim that thu
building conforms to the requirements
Of the law.

house Last Week by u
Rural Rooster.

Some time last fall gentleman Of
the sticks had visitor buyer Of to-
bacco, who also had a nice manner
and a contract book, and when he left
he carried with him signed contract
for the delivery of the growers crop
here at certain warehouse at what
he received good figure, which 1t
was, taking last seasons prices as a
basis for figuring.
After the market opened and tobac-
co began to sell at prices way beyond
anything dreamed of ION account OF
the war;" this grower saw his error
in selling so Cheap and he immedi-
ately began thinking how to get even
and not lose those extra 5 $ that
were bound to 60 to Mr.. Speculator.
He delivered the tobacco last week
and 1t was splendid crop and looked
to have been the best on the floor from
the neat way it had been stripped and
prepared; and it sold too, at good
set of figures. Several hours after ii
had left the warehouse floor and been
delivered to the buyer it was sent back,
with instructions to examine it, which
was done, and it was found that the
grower had thought out scheme to
beat the specuator.
In putting the wrapper on the end
of the hands he had forgot" to cut off
the stock and just rolled it up with
the hand, neatly covering it with a
large leaf, and no one on earth would
have notOiced the deception as the
hands lay in the basket. This is the
first time this vice has ever been pull
ed here, and you can just wager your
new quarters that it will he the last
