The first one was $15. I had only $2 with me and told Mr. Robinson so. He said he couldn’t let a Spitzdog go for that price, but he had another one for $10, a fox terrier that was too sweet for anything. When 1 was almost crying because I didn’t have erough to buy him he said 1 could give him my watch, which was haaging from my waist and the money I had and take the dog. “I jumped at the offer, and went out with the doggie under my arm. Up the street T met a policeman, a nice-looking man, whose name I have learned is Richter. He asked meif I got the dog in Robinson's, and when I said ‘ves’ he told me the litue feliow had the mange, and showed me some spots on him covered with & white powder. Of course I just posted back there and explatned to Mr. Robinson that I wasn't going to have any mangy dog pawned off on me like tuat, He denied that the dog hud the mange, but after I had exposiulated with him awhile he threw my watch to me and broke the crystal.

He said he calied the officer in, who stated his belief that the dog bad the mange. “But,”” says Robinson, *‘I proved by an expert that it hadn’t.

I kept her money as a guarantee, and promised her that in a day or two she could return and give me the other $3 and take the dog. 1am sorry of the whole business, and wish now I had given her the money. too.

Injunction Prohibiting Widber From Paying Salaries Dissolved. Mayor Phelan Has Determined to Appeal the Case to the Supreme Court. For a few minutes yesterday there was happiness in the County Clerk’s office and up and down the cheerless corridors of the new City Hall. James Denman had lost his action before Judge Belcher to re- duce the staff of C. F. Curry and cast out into the world a few court clerks. The jubilation was shortlived, however, as Treasurer Widber, with visions of a pos- sible appeal from the judgment of the Bunverior Court, refused to psy a majority of the warr ents, and for a time a smali- sized riot was imminent. Before recog- nizing the claims of the host of clerks the Treasurer will consult his iawyer, and act on his legal judzment. The case ot Denman to enjoin Widber from paying the salaries of a certain num- ber of clerks conciuaed shortly after noon. Counsel closed the argumenc¢ and Judge Beicher immed ately gave his opinion on the case. He sustained the demurrer of the defendants to the complaint and ordered the tem porary restraining clause or injunction to be set asida. Judge Belcher finds that the law pro- vidin g for the appointment of nine regis- ter clerks at 2 time when there were only nine depertments of ihe Superior Court could not be enforced when ihe numter of depirtments had been ruised to iwelve. Arguments on the case were heard Friday and vesterday. Philip G. Galpin appeareda for Denman_and A. L. Hart, T. D. Rior- dan and George D. Collins for the defendant. Galpin argued that the law regarding the appointment of only nine regisier clerks was sti'l in force, while the defense held¢ that the Couniy Clerk should be guided by the statute of 1880, which gave bim the right to appoint as many clerks as the transaction of the business of the office required. When the argument closed, as was expected, Judge Belcuer delivere1 his opinion orally from tha bench dissolving the injunction. On re- ceiptof the news many ol the clerks made a break for the Treasurer's office, but they were disappointed, as Widber re- fused to cash their warrants. Later in the day a few demands were recognized, among them the warrant of A. J. Marun, the clerk aga whom the suit was di- rected, but the majority will have to wait till Monday morning for their money. Mayor Phelan, who was instrumental in the instigation of the suit, has expressed his determination to take the case to a bigher tribunal, and this may again re- Ci’ttmmti*mtttfimtifliii‘*mfiflittflmt*mk | [ [ vendin | | | sultin a lock being placed on the coffer< in tl.e Treasurer's office and long drawn out suffering on the part of the clerks g the decision of the Supreme Court. “THE KING's HIGHWAY.” Rev.
