ing street inspector. For an outrageous
and utterly put up job we never have seen it
equaled A petition signed by eur most
prominent citizens, was presented and read
] by the Clerk and utterlyignored by the Board.
Mr.. Beam said it was supposed that new
Office was created, but did not show that it
was not. His remarks were so remarkably
intelligent, and the ideasspresented so terse
that the large number of taxpayers present
looked at each other. Why they did so, we
are unable to say. He said he would not
| vote for any additional expense to the city,
but as the follow ing record shows, he did The
District Attorney said he had prepared the
ordinance at the request of the Board so that
one man could do all the work. Mr.. Bender
said there were a number of citizens present,
One prominent citizen was called on, but
evidently seeing that the thing was fixed, had
too much sense, to give himself away. 1t was
moved and seconded that the ordinance con-
corning Street Inspector, passed two weeks
ago be adopted. Passed unanimously. This
was rich, i'll view of the fact that the ordinance
was already adopted. After this the District
Attorney was compelled to come to the front
and explain that No. 80 was not No. 51 and
that No 50 was different thing. Satisfac
tory 1t was then announced that the bust
ness of the evening was the election of Street
Inspector. Moved in regular order ooh,
shade of Jefferson y that the election be pro-
ceeded with. Mr.. Butts, the present inspect
or, was nominated by Mr.. Bender. W. A.
Hawthorne was nominated by MIR. Slater.
These were all the nominations heard by the
Reporter of the APPEAL, who stood within
three feet of Mr.. Dunning, when to his sur
prise and to the surprise of all present, it was
announced that Mr. James A st. Clair was
nominated by Mr.. Dunning, seconded by Mr..
Beam, and without taking into consideration
the former nominations (Mr Bender, to his
credit be it spoken, withdrew Butts name),
Mr.. ST. Clair was elected by the following
vote: Ayes-Dunning, Slater and Beam
We have nothing to add con-
corning this business OF course the taxpay-
ers will have to sand it. But S120 per month
goes out of the city treasury for an officer
never heard of before. Of course, to get even,
or to make any kind of decent showing,
Butts, who has done good work, will have to
be discharged, or why how ? wherefore
which what where goes the S120l There
is no reason for discharging Butts. We don't |
want him discharged but how is it The
Trustees have discharged duty to them
selves We can wait We shall publish the
lumber bills We may compare them. We
shall look at the teaming accounts This is
public business, and the people want to know
where their money goes, and it shall not be
he fault of the MoRNINS APPEAL if they do
lot A significant fact: as soon as the vote
vas taken the citizens in ATTENDANCE left en-
nasse. Sabel
ADDI1IoN.-Since writing our article on
he proceedings of the Board of Trustees, we
re informed by member of the Board that
he object of action last night was to put
Butts out and put St. Clair in, and if that
atis6es the public, we have nothing more to
ay. The object was not to increase the ex-
ense to the city, but to give it to st. Clair,
nd take it away from Butts
THERE was big turkey shooting at the
found House on Sunday. Forty turkeys
rere turned loose and the shooting was ex-
client. We are informed that only thirty
even and half turkeys got away. Barnes,
e of the lightning concern, shot twenty and
ne rest were pinned by sharp shooters from
'irginia Follett bagged seventeen while the
forming train stopped, and fourteen when he
ent up, and would have taken the rest on
le third trip if the boys hadn't been heeled

That boy Watty, at the Ormsby ought to
= suppressed. Since he displayed the knowl-
lge of scripture on the subject of the wicket
lie, he has been consulted by several prom v
ent spiritualists and desired 70 give his ex-
erience 1t has been admitted for some
me in Reno that he is test medium. His
anoes at the English mill were we'll attended
I'd we have no doubt that if he could be per-
AIDED to form circle in Carson, it would be
I'll attended. Watty, don't hide your light
lder bushel.
He DEPARTS. THAT charming and irresist- "a
