During the three recent trials of saloonkeepera for thie offense, Gill has been an attentive listener tr Judge Gordon's court, and bis ap pearance at this date as the cham pion of Gullivan was not unlooked for by many who have been Inter ested in these liquor cases. At the time of Sullivan's arres he was refused bail, and on the order of Judge Mitchell Gillam, of the superior court, at Gill's petition the man was released under ball of $500.

Whether or not Sullivan was po litiea! boss is difficult to determine but at any rate he was shown no favors by the chief of police. The entrance of Hi Gill into the fight shatters the idea of Sullivan's power with the mayor, or it may be that in seeking revenge for his treatment he conceived the idea of engaging the services of the may- ors most powerful foe.
