G. L. Davenport, a commission mer-'j

taraet for two bullets fired at him by
J. A. Seeber, a teamster, this morning.
Davenport was but five feet from Seeber
when he saw him pull the revolver from
his pocket, but as the commission man

bullets.
Seeber remained on the scene, and

waa locked no on a charge of assault
and attempt to kill.
Seeber, according to Davenport, In-I

farther along the atreet. Seeber called
Davenport a vile name and repeated it
when remonstrated with by the com
mission merchant Then Davenport
knocked him down.
Seeber left the vicinity of the store.
but a few minutes before 9 o'clock Dav
enport looked up and saw seeDer stana
lng near him. At that Instant Seeber
whipped out the revolver he had evi
dently gone away to procure, and as
Davenport turned on his heel and ran
Seeber fired twice, but missed.
Seeber, who is 70 years of age, de
clared after his arrest that he could
not bear the Ignominy of being knocked
down and struck in the face, and that
he had brought the pistol from his
home to a-et revenge for the blows
struck by the commission merchant He

According to that decision, no ordi
nance passed by the 0117 council be
comes effective until 30 days after Its
Sassage. The charter provides that or
lnances shall take effect at the expi
ration of 10 days unless the mayor dis
approve. xs ciiy attorney provides in nis Dill
that the time for the Invocation of the
referendum on city ordinances shall be
limited to 15 days after approval by the
mayor, or within the same time after a
veto has been overruled. In event the
mayor neither approves nor disapproves
an ordinance within 10 days, then the
time fixed within which the referendum
may be invoked is also IS days. -Authority
for the passage of the rem
edial ordinance, says Mr. Kavanaugh,
is given in tne state law, which pro
vides that exceptions to the 80 day
rule may be made in cases of emerg
ency. The city attorney's proposed
