The mandamus suit filed some days ago by Patrolman John Kalfrat of the Newport Police Department, against City Treasurer William Lohstroh to compel the latter to pay him salary due for the first half of February, was called today in Judge Yungblut's court. The petition of Kalfrat sets out that there are funds belonging to the city depositary amounting to $12,000 under control of Lohstroh out of which he could pay the salary due.
