Churchill against the city, the city recorder and the chief of police. Churchill is proprietor of a restau rant and. banquet room, and also has a room in which he sells soft drinks and cigars. The city some time ago parsed an ordinance making it unlaw ful for proprietors of this class of es tablishment, or pool dialls, to keep open later than midnight. The case was a test case brought to enjoin the city from enforcing the law. It was contended that the law was discrimi natory, unconstitutional and was class legislation. The circuit court ruled in favor of a demurrer and dismissed the case, from which Churchill appealed. The circuit court also ordered the case dismissed sustaining the demurrer on the grounds of error. The bottom fell out of the case against Mayor W. T.
