THE NEW Ma RsHAL.
\ petition has been circulated ask
ing that the new marshal. Josiah
Lyons, be employed at Il salary and
kept on duty us day policeman. For
one, we should favor this. In our
judgment no money can he better used
than that which is expended in pre-.
serving order, promptly enforcing law,
improving our streets, trimming our
trees and making Worthington a pleas.
ant place to live in. Our night police
man, II. Mcmillan, who has served the
village SO long and with such univer.
sal satisfaction to the Taxpayers and
better class of citizens, has, we do not
doubt, saved the village ten times tile
amount it has cost by suppressing in.
cipient fires and preventing tramps
and others from committing burglar
les.
We write this merely to give our
own views of the matter and not to
force them upon the village council.
And while OF this subject we wish to
speak of Marshal Lyons with decided
commentator. So far he has done
his duty impartially and without fear
or favor. Never, since Worthingtou
was organized, has there been such
good order as has prevailed since the
new marshal went Oil duty. The brat
ordinance and the certainty that the
new marshal would do his duty, has
kept the brats and the impertinent
youths within bounds, while the older
and reuyher offenders against good
order, have found ont that law can be
ilnpartially enforced in Wo:t'ington
even if it "haint no city," If this good
state Of affairs continues. "Joe' ought
to have Il life lease OF the Office.

boy informed his father of the facts,
who notified Justice Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine, together with Joseph
Ebert, DIR. Gutthelf and Rudolph
Gtyermal went to the house and find
ing the door fastened, forced it open
and entered the house. They found
Mr.. Pnlster in bed, with Il pistol lying
near his right hand and hole in his
head about one inch above his right
ear. The pillow and the bed were sat
urated with blood. The body was
taken in charge by Mr.. Ebert and the
Masonic Lodge at Watertown, Mimi,

Der, WAS notified.

relatives in this country. lie had ar
ranged all his affairs, paid the interest
