| first consulting the Board OF City trustees
upon the subject, as it would make an addi-
tional expense to the city of $500 per month.

Board of Trustees had nothing whatever TO
do with the matter except to provide the
money to pay for such expenses of the Police
| Department as may be authorized by law,
and that the law gave the Commissioners full
power to appoint sixteen officers besides the
Chief of Police.

Henry moved as a substitute for the previous
motion that the Police Commissioners con-
suit with the Board of City Trustees as to
the advisability of making an increase in the
police force The substitute was adopted

So NEAR AND YET so FAR. - Chief
Karcher received dispatch from VacavilIe
last night requesting the arrest of fleeing
couple from that place, who were upon the
Reno express train. They were accordingly
taken into custody by officers Rider and
Karcher upon arrival The young man is
about thirty aud the lady in the neighbor-
hood of seventeen years of age. They were
intent upon becoming legally one, but the tele-
graph and an unwilling father have frustrated
boards, and after taking good nights sleep
in the City Jail, in safe and separate quar-
tiers, the lady will to-day be escorted back to
her home by her vetoing father. As to the
young man, probably the old gentleman will
not be to the expense of taking him along on
the same train, and it would be piece of re-
venge if he should go away and leave his
would.be son-in-law in the lookup.
