Representatives of dairies, groceries j
and bakeries entered strenuous objec- j
tlon to anv law which would require
the", to equip their delivery wagons
with lights. While they admlttc'1 that
a Kerosene or other satlsfactorj light
rould be provided at a small expense,
its maintenance would be a constant
nourcc of trouble and annoyance. Such
h law thev objected, would cause tliclr
drivers constat!tl> to be hauled up in
Police Court for failure to keep
lights burning, and In tills way pave
the way for litigation and <'-M>enHe
An opposite view was taken b> |
jIobob Thalhtmor. who thought that an
ordinance requiring liorse-drawn xeh -
oles to carry lights at night would be
a wise one. He did not think such a
law would entail any considerable s
pe.nse or cause trouble. A driver that
was once tlned. he thought, would1
careful in the future to keep his lit,?t
?roiiic fliid avoid troubio.
Others. Including Harry c. I|oattie
and Alderman Christian, a mcmbot of
the committee, saw no reason for ba -
ring the glaring headlights at .ill
They saw no danger in their use and
were Inclined to the view that theli
presence tended to reduce rather than
increase accidents. Both wow opposed
to requiring horse-drawn \ehlchs to

The verdict was brought In chieily '
on the evidence of two eyewitnesses
to the quarrel. Arthur I Ticks, ?>^0 |

man hud asked him not to say any- j
thing about the quarrel and his par? \
in !t, while he was taking the man j
home, 1 licks said that so far as hr J
knew there was no direct reason fo? i
the stabbing of the victim, and that ]
it appeared to have been unprovoked, i
lie took Bowman homo after the cut- |
ting because lie thought him too drunk |
to lit? on the street. Hicks said.
George Norman Johnson, $07 Spring
Street, another witness, said that How
man. the victim and himself had been
[drinking together. He was of tho
| opinion that Bowman had only met
the stranger about llfteon minutes
I prior to tho stabbing. "1 did not see

to identify tho dead man, but each I
