BRINES SUIT ON
MOM ST.
PIT WARRANTS
George Bihl, Who Bought Them
at Face Value, Goes Into
Court to Collect.
“FRIENDLY” SUIT FILED
Asks Judgment Holding Valid
• ity of Warrants and Com
pelling Their Payment. .
George L. Bihl. who bought up the
JSJl.lt worth of warrants isaued for
the paving of Zaraamora etreat, thetv
warrants causing the recent desdlock
in the city council, this morning filed
ault tn the county court for civil
cases against the City of San Antonio,
asking that the warrants be held- valid
and a lien against the city taxes and
that he be given a judgment and a
mandamus compelling the city to pay.
The suit was filed in blank by C. A.
Davies, personal counsel for Mayor
Callagha n, representing the plaintiff.
Although the original petition m
the case was withheld on the plea
that the suit had been filed "in
blank," it is known that the hearing
on the suit, for which no jury trial
has been uked, is set for the Janu
ary term of the county court for civil
cases. In terms of law. the suit is of
a "friendly" nature, and In many such
suits the litigating parties are never
given publicity.
Allegations of Plaintiff.
According to information obtained
elsewhere than in the original peti
tion, George L. Bihl. the plaintiff, al
leges that be is the owner of war
rants issued for the payment of sal
aries of members of the street com
missioner's department, the total be
ing 8891.80. these warrants being
payable in 1911. No specific mention
is made that the warrants were issued
in payment for the Zarzamora pav
ing, but It is asserted that all parties
owning the warrants were employes
ot the street department appointed by
Bryan Callaghan, mayor of the city.
Retoad Travers

The rlaraeeape
It Is brought out that these war
rants were issued under the provisions
of section 3 of the city charter, and
the resolutions and ordinances passed,
which are made a part of the peti
tion. It is also 'alleged that F. W.
Church, city treasurer. Is now paying
warrants of later date.
These Warrants Refused.
The statement is made that the city
council, or a portion thereof, has re
fused to make the appropriation for
the payment of these warrants, al
though plaintiff, in the warrants,
holds a legal Hen against ths general
fund and the revenus of the city for
the year 1111.
Plaintiff says ho has presented the
warrants to City Treasurer Church
and has been refused payment, al
though the warrants are lawful and
were issued with full authority to
make them collectable.
The petition closes with the usual
prayer for relief, embracing a judg
ment with costa a judgment confirm
ing these warrants as valid and as a
lien against the city taxes, and a man
damus to compel the mayor and city
officials to pay the warrants.

Giles Praises Madero— Alfred Giles,
a San Antonian, with business inter
ests in Mexico, who has returned from
an extended trip in the southern re
public, said that business confidence
is rapidly being restored there and
that many of the staunchest support
ers of the Diaz regime are now show
ing themselves loyal to the new gov
ernment. He was outspoken in his
praise of the Madero family. All the
metals, he said, are rising in value,
and mines that have been idle are
opening up in full force. A great
business revival, he thinks, is just
ahead.

Accused of the theft of a bicycle
belonging to W. W. Nicholson, S02

years old, was placed under arrest
last night by Henry Rogers, manager
of the Commerce street store of the
Potchcrnick Sporting Goods company.
Mr. Rogers holds a deputy sheriff
commission.
The store manager's suspicion was
aroused when the man entered the
store with a bicycle valued at >46 and
offered to sell it for J5. He placed
the man under arrest and started with
him for the city hall. As they were
entering the building the prisoner
broke from Mr. Rogers' grasp and ran.
Rogers pursued, shouting “stop thief’
and "stop him" but scores of pedes
trians who witnessed the Marathon
displayed no desire to do any stop
ping. The race led across Main plaza
and into Market street and Rogers
caught up with his prisoner near
Navarro street.
The bicycle was later Identified as
one stolen from W. W. Nicholson. A,n
affidavit may be filed against the
prisoner today. Thefts of bicycles
have been numerous during the past
few weeks. Mr. Rogers has recovered
