days ago on a charge Of making sedi-

far failed to pay the fine or furnish
the required bond set by the court
when his attorneys gave notice they
would appeal the case to the district

Miss Grace Arnold, attorney for
Koch, demurred to the evidence Of

ground that there was no city ordi-
nance covering the offense. When the
city attorney was called upon to pro-

Workers are now demanding the
city TO arrest him for failure to pay
his fine. but the police have so far
failed to take him into custody. Coun-

arrested they will institute habeas

lease and force the city to shsw
