At a kangaroo court many were In dicted, vagrancy being the chief of fense. The judge of the court was Dep uty District Attorney T. G. Ryan and N. J. Barbare the clerk. EARLY HISTORY RECALLED v Angle Introduced Showing Mu nlclpality Was Given Title to Lot for Use as Iyeeum Now Oc cupied by Cadillac Hotel. Construction of the public auditorium en the Market block. Third and Market rrt was authorized in a decision yesterday by Circuit Judge Davis In the Injunction suit brought by Gordon Lang. J. R. Wldmer and M. F. McLain to determine the legality of locating the auditorium on the Market block. A new angle In the friendly suit ap peared during the trial of the suit yes terday. In a map recorded more than n srn bv Travalllot. a part of block 150, now occupied by tha Cadillac Hotel, was shown as the property of the city, to be used as iwnm nr auditorium. The city may commence litigation to recover this property snouia me proa-, ent holders have imperfect titles. The titles will be examined Immediately and If litigation results In the city gaining possession of the property, the audito rium may be located on block 150, at Third and Columbia streets. Anrordlnc to local attorneys. It Is be. Ileved the courts would not allow the v m the lrceum property, if acquired, for any other purpose than a, lyceum or auditorium. Deputy City Attorney Latourette. who is represent ing the city in the suit, declared yester day that a public meeting hall, owned by the city, was located on the property designated on Travalllofs map as a lyceum site in the early fifties. Supreme Court Ruling Desired. X The decision by Judge Davis estab lishing the legality of the auditorium site at Third and Market streets will be appealed by Hall & Lepper. attor neys for the plaintiffs, to the Supreme Court. Mr. Lepper said yesterday that efforts will be made to bring the mat ter before the Supreme Court Imme diately to enable construction of the auditorium at an early date. C. E. S. Wood. Arthur Langguth and Deputy City Attorney Latourette ap peared yesterday to argue for the city. Attorney Lepper appearing for the plaintiffs. Mr. Latourette had spoken only a few moments when Judge Davis Interrupted. "There is no use In going Into this matter further." said Judge Davis, "for the court has made up his mind In this matter. There Is no question In my mind that the city took possession of the Market block In the deed from W. W. Chapman to the city, recorded De cember 27. 1SH5. I therefore deny the petition for an Injunction of the plaint iffs in this actclon. Mr. wood ana oir. Langguth were not heard. Tha Dlalntiffs asked for an lnjunc tion restraining the city from building the auditorium on the Market biocK, alleging that the property was re corded on plats aa a market place and could be used for no other purpose. Early History Recite. Mr. Latourette explained the early history of the Market block. "When provisional government was estab lished In this state by the early Immi grants,' he said, "every settler was given the right to squat on 140 acres of land. Fettygrove ana iAvejoy in tied on the site of what Is now Port land and In 1850 they sold out their rights and property to W. W. Chap man and Daniel Lownsdale. In 1851 the cltv was Incorporated and the Brady map was filed, designating block 132 as the market block. It did not state whether it was to be used as a public market or whether the city could locate a private market thereon. "The map showed various churches located on different sites, but many mistakes were made In this map and It is not to be relied upon by the courts. Both the Short and Lownsdale maps, lied In 1852. designated what Is known as the Market block as block 122 and nowhere did the word "market' appear on either map. "Block 150 was shown as the prop arty of the Municipal Lyceum, the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and as the location of the Sons of Temper ance organisation, but block 150 was not Identified as even the city's prop erty," declared Mr. Latourette. The testimony was taken Monday by Judge Davis and many pioneers testified to the early history of the Market block-'-Thisc, however, failed to agree on the Intentions of the original owners with relation to the use of the property by the oity.
