These officers never lost a moment
that was Unnecessary, but have pushed

We are satisfied the soldiers are do
ing all they possibly can.

We hope, when the boys in blue
get shot at old Geronimo that they
will give him and his band Of cut.
throats a dose of lead that will for
ever put an end to his killing Of ino-
cent parties. Then the people won t
be pestered with his raids. There is
one thing certain if ever the citizens

they will get to take trip cross

MUNICIPAL MIDDLE,
Some Stray shots After the First
Battle.

There was acme feverish feeling yes
terday among the officials especially,
about the state of the city affairs, and tn,
contest between the mayor and council
The newly elected clerk, Mr.. Dalrymple
has made q demand of the old city clerk,
Mr.. Troutman, for the books and papers
but the latter refused to give them up,
and continued holding possession of the
Office during the day, performing his du.
ties the same as usual. Mr.. Troutmau
told the BEE man that 1t was not his
fight, and hat he was not hanging on
for himself but that 1t was q quarrel be.
tween the city council and the mayor,
ana az soon as that was decided he was
willing to submit to whatever might be
the result. He did not propose to hold
on a minute after this dispute was decid'
ed, if 1t " as against him.
The council was to meet at 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, but at that hour
there was only the mayor, Aldermen
Geise, and Shugart on hand, and while
the last named went off to hunt up some
of the other members, the mayor and
the other alderman adjourned until thia
afternoon at the same hour. Mr.. Trout.
man served as clerk, and called the roll.
About 5 o'clock the four republican mem
bers appeared, and elaborated for some
time as to whether they had bet
ter have a meeting or not. Mr..
Dalrymple was present, and IL was
suggested that they meet, recognize the
new clerk by having him record the roll
call, and their adjournment, but it was
finally decided to do nothing of the sort,
as the other side had met earlier. 1t was
thought that the lack of any action could
not be construed into any recognition on
their part of the right of Mr.. Troutman
to serve as clerk.
The mayor says 1t is a mistake about
his having any special policemen on hand
at the Monday evening meeting. He
says that, no matter how his remarks
were understood, he had not appointed
any such police, and that what he said
and meant was that if there was occasion
he would do 80, as there were a number
of citizens in the room whom he could
swear In for that purpose.
This morning another formal demand
will be made for the old clerk to turn
over his Office to his successor, and If he
refuses 1t is said that the council, at least
the majority, will not recognize him, but
will have the new clerk go right ahead
keeping the minutes of their meetings.
The whole squabble Is a disgraceful
one, and much to be regretted. Just
now the city has some important matters
to consider and decide, and 1t has little
time or strength to devote to these petty
quarrels. The time has come when this
city's officials must pull together for the
interests of the city, and every day spent
In these chickering's Is a loss. If a fair,
honest settlement of these differences
can be reached all good citizens will be
glad,
