Joo Scott, who lives near Big Lake and sells fish on the streets from an old wagon was plylng his trade at the corner of Broad way and Maln strects yesterday afternoon and had succeeded in amassing considerab change, when William Libbeka, a ‘“hasher, came along and inserted his hand slyly into the fisherman’s pocket. When it emerged a $1 bill and a lot of silver stuck to it, but Scott detected him in the act and made him drop the cash before the transfer had been quite completed. Libbeka tried to keep the bill in his “and when he dropped the silver, again he was caught and compelled to orge. He remonstrated with Scott in a intive fashion for getting mad at him when he was merely trylng a new joke on him that he had lald awake nights to think up. Scott found a policeman and went to a neighboring saloon, where Libbeka was found wasting his substance in riotous living. He was taken to the police station and locked up for the night, Scott afterwards filing an Information in Justice Vien's court charging him with lafceny from the person. ORDINANCE IS WORTHLESS, Judge ‘MeGeo Knocks the Bottom Out of the Ordinance Regulating Auctioneers. Judge McGee rendered a decision yesterday morning in the case of the state agalnst Bartlett, the bookseller. When Bartlett came here he pald the city clerk $11.30, that being the price of the license, as he was in- formed by the clerk, up to the 1st of July Later on he was notified that the license had been revoked because he should have been charged at the daily rate of $10, This would have cost him in the neighborhood of $400, and Bartlett promptly refused to pay it. As he persisted in running his business on the license he had already taken out, he was ar- rested and given a trial Judge McGee held that the section of the code which conferred upon city councils the right to license transient merchants did not give the right to tax as well, as there was no express provision to that effect in the statute. The council, then, had exceeded its powers when it passed the ordinance re quiring to pay such an amount into the city treasury that it was no longer merely a license fee, but must be considered a tax for revenue purposes. The fea of $400 for three months and a half was exorbitant, if intended for a license fee, and fllegal, and he inme- diately discharged the defendant. The decision is of considerable importance as it will affect a large number of Council Bluffs merchants, who have heretofo ceeded in keeping transients out of the city by having an ordinance passed which was practically prohibitory.
