“It* Dowdle reeoverd a judgement
against you for fifteen thousand dol
lars which he claimed he advanced to
the company, could he satisfy this
judgment V* asked West.
Ballaine avoided answering the
question directly for a time. Altec
objection by Kay in behalf of Bal
laine as to the form of the question.
Judge Brown ruled that Ballaine
might answer in an explanatory man
ner. and Ballaine answered that he
was worth that much money at that
time. Dowdle’s letter to We^t ex
plaining that he had consulted hi>
atttorney in Chicago regarding a suit
against John Ballaine, to which he
testified in his deposition, had never
been stated; he corrected by saying
that he had started suit and the
same had been settled; that he bad
forgotten about it and wanted to
clear his deposition as to this tqct.
A recess was then taken until p. m.

CITY COUNCIL FAVORS
ANOTHER SALOON HERE
The majority of the city council
last night, of course, said they had
no objection to the establishment of j
another saloon which was applied for
by J. R. McDonald, who intends to j
open in the Daggett building. The
expression of opinion by the city
council was given ut the request of
Judge Brown, or, at least, the city at
torney stated that a communication
containing the request had been mail
ed by Judge Brown but had not
reached the city council. A1 Chamb
erlin was the only positive objector
to the establishment of another
saloon. He believed the city had
enough “to quench any thirst" and Al
smiled a self-conscious smile as he
said it. He thought the present pop
ulation did not justify another saloon
and also that the present saloon men
deserved consideration, but the four
fates had otherwise decreed. The
city council also passed a plumber’s
ordinance or something like that and
diil some routine work of the usual
nature. The Seward Electric Com
pany, as predicted by the Gateway,
withdrew its applications of line ex
tensions.
