It was upon tlila variance In the plead Inns and the evidence producud that the nonsuit waa granted and an ap peal taken. To hare ihla point do rldej the city of Independence Pld the Honorable Mayor a fee of 150 to argue It before the supreme court, and afterwards further paid the aum of 6S aa ooata of the case before the supreme court. If as the mayor attempta to show, or at least Intimate, the proaecutlon of thla aull la of vital Importance to the city of Independence In that It In volves the Question of whether or not the city ordinances can or ahall b enforced, why did be not have tno case fought out on Ita merlta when It waa op for trial two yeara ago nd not attempt to dismiss It on a technl calltyt Tho members of the city council agreeing to settle thla case In an (.rateable way out of court reasoned that the city had paid $ll to try to have settled a point of no Im portance to the city of Independence and at the eaine rate might be call ed upon to pay many times that amount and atlll have the merits of the caae undecided and produce furth er friction between the city and it nelgbbora by protracted litigation. M. W. MIX, Councilman. J. 8. DOHANNON. Councilman. W. T. HOFFMAN, Councilman. J. L. HANNA, Councilman. W. H. CRAVEN, Councilman. matter Is presented In a fair and lm partial manner. The mayor. In a very adroit man ner, conveys the Impression that the members of the city council did In a private or secret way that which they had not the courage to do in an official way, when their action would be on record. This, we believe, Is unfair. The mayor's statement that Councilman Bohannon moved, In open council, not to settle thla suit out of court, that the council voted unani mously In favor of the motion, and that after being Interviewed by At torey Carson, Councilman Bohannon moved In council meeting to settle the case In accordance with the offer Of Attorney Carson, and that the council refused to do so, Is not borne out by the records. It is true that Attorney Carson met with a majority of the members of the council one or more times when the council was not In session In an endeavor to get this case amicably settled and that the question of the settlement of the case was talked over In an Informal way In council meeting but no vote was taken upon the question until a vote was taken upon the motion of Coun cilman Mix to settle the case as stat ed by the mayor. In explanation of the action of the council In not vot ing to settle the case as provided by motion of Councilman Mix, we will Btate that the mayor stated to the council before a vote was taken that, any action the council should take would not affect the case, as the city of Independence was not a party to the suit and could not settle the case, and he stated In most positive terms that the case would not be set tled outside the court room. ' When the vote upon the motion of Council man Mix was taken, two councilmen were declared voting for the motion and two voting apainst the motion, the mayor remarked, "Here is where I shine," and voted no and then declared the motion lost. So the may or really decided the question "nim hlmaelf and if he went ahead and aubpoenled witnesses on this case he did so without any Instructions or authority from the council. Now Just a word further In regard to this case. The mayor states that when this case came up for trial in Judge Burnett's court, that a motion v. him for non-suit, after the Krebs Hop Co. had presented their evidence, was sustained by Judge Burner, arm on this ruling the case was taken on appeal to the supreme court of Ore gon. The mayor, however, failed to etate that this motion was taken and sustained on a technicality. The attorney for the Krebs Hop Co. in his pleadings alleged that R. J. Taylor and I. W. Dickinson had taken and detained the team of the plaintiff, whereas the evidence show- ion Maulta In m OWn family and others, I am convinced It Is the best medicine made for Coughs, ColdB and lung trouble," Every i one who tries It feels Just that way.
