Have we Two Deputy Marshals2

An ordinance of this city, page 2S9, sec.
5, authorizes the city council to appoint
not to exceed two deputy marshals. The
council, on the application of the marshal,
some years ago, ordered the appointment
of one deputy. B. III. Kimball was the
last officer filling the position. The new
mayor nominated Phil Miller and the coun'
Gil failed to confirm him. Yet the new
mayor has placed him Cd duty without re-
moving MIR. Kimball. This he could not
legally do.
The marshal hes not applied to the
council for second deputy Mr.. Kimbal
has not been removed. The council did moi
confirm Miller. And yet Mayor Butler
has placed Miller on duty-making two
deputies. This is another act of usurpa
ton and dictation by Mayor Butler. /
be had removed Mr.. Kimball he would
then have had right to appoint Miller
But he has not done this. He has placed
Miller on duty in defiance of law, thu
showing that he has no respect either 70
the law or the council. This is Cesarism

Bad for Krell.

The article, by an ARGUS reporter, in
this paper, showing up Krells effort to
intimidate MIR. Kesler, leaves our super
visor in bad plight Instead of bullying
and trying to intimidate the witness he
should try to get the truth in relation to
the matter and help expose it. His man.
ner and his words show that he is afraid Of
investigation. He has kept back his re-
port as overseer of the poor, so that the
people can not know to whom he has given
orders on the stores. or for what amount,
or what has been done with the goods
And now it is said that he has gone to the
poor house to get some exparte afidavits
to clear himself and Bailey.
We hope the reports about the
poor house are not true,-but Mr..
Krell had best not visit there without Mr.
Kerr and other supervisors being present.
And no supervisor will add to his reputa-
ton by assuming the role of apologist or
Whitewater for poor house outrages and
irregularities-if any exist. Aud little
healthy investigation Of Mr.. krell's man.
agement in this town would not be amiss
He has hidden his report from the people
and with great big oath swears that he
won't make any report until after election.
