therein, Is further disproved by the fact that

An Agent of the Peo pIe I

Alderman Lockwood thought it nee
essary to announce in open council, that
he was not the agent of the Gas Com
pany, but the agent of the peoplel Oh,
Lockwood, Lockwood, don't you know,
slick and cunning as you think you are,
that this was about the most suicidal
declaration you could possibly make
The trusty. clean public servant can af-
ford to pass with contempt all refeo-
lions upon his actions IN the behalf OF
the public, as such actions speak louder
than windy declarations in his own be-
half. Such a declaration is tantamount
to confession of guilt. The thief
pleads mot guilty" when brought before
the jury for trial, but the trial proceeds
all the same, and the prisons Of the land
are filled with convicts, who have plead
mot guilty" So 1t is with the public
servant who abuses his trust or the con-
tidence of his constituency, who declares
| am not the agent Of q monopoly, the
public go on with the trial and when II
comes to making up the verdict, they
condemn him to the shades Of private

point covered with general ordinance,
providing fine of 500 per day for fail
ure and refusal to keep streets open and
applicable alike to all companies. Ii
looked like weighing the new company
down, and thus smacking Of class legis-
lation.
French cited general ordinance pro-
vlding for such cases, but Lockwood
limited that 1t was not enforced.
Gallagher-'Lockwood has just now
discovered that the ordinances are not
enforced. This section protects the old
company to the detriment Of all others. -
The motion to strike out was lost,
BergstrOm, Conner, Degener, Lockwood,
Schreiner and Smye voting nay.
Section 8 gives the city power to COM
pei the new company to lay five miles of
gas mains each year in such thorough
fares as shall be designated.
McAllister moved to strike out this
section, rs 1t gave the city power to
order mains where the company could
perhaps secure no consumers, and thus
entail loss upon 1t. 1t was finally agreed
to add clause to the section. PRO
yided the city take lamps on the line at
such distances apart as may be agreed
on" The section was then adopted.
Section 10 was next reached without a
wrangle, but here the music again COM
menced. This section provides that In
60 days this ordinance shall be null and
void, uRless the company shall file its
written acceptance of the provisions,
accompanied by penal bond Of S25, 900
that the company will commence work
before January |, 1887, comply with all
the conditions of this ordinance and the
ordinances now in force, and will in
demnify the city from all damage suits
resulting from the negligence or opera
ton OF this company, the bond to be re-
newed from time to time, whenever the
Mayor shall require it.
MGAllister moved to strike il out, ex-
cept to provide bond Of 5000 to in
demnify the city for law suits. etc., and
asked that Mr.. Oscar Bergstrom, the at
torney for the proposed company, be
heard on the subject, which the Council
allowed, and the Mayor pro TEN. sent fol
the City Attorney.
Bergstrom spoke at length, saying thai
the new company was boon to the
| people, and did not think stumbling
blocks should be thrown In its way. II
would furnish gas at about one-third the
| price now paid, and In SO doing it asked
nothing from the city but fair deal
He could see no reason for this enor-
nous bond, to be SO forfeited on such
frivolous conditions, when the city had
nothing whatever at stake.
An amendment prevailed making the
bond $4,000.
The ordinance, as a whole. was again
adopted on q vote Of Z to 4, Hambleton
having arrived during the discussion,
Bergstrom, Gallagher, Mackey and Nc
Allister voting nay.
j. p. Newcomb and Oscar Bergstron
declared that 1t would kill Off the pro
posed company.
A motion to adjourn was opposed by
Gallagher, who called for a roll call, and
was carried by a vote Of 6 to 8.

port of taxes collected. The court being
In session. Haywood was sent for by the
court to hear the charges read. Roots
remarked that his statement was correct,
whereupOn Haywood remarked some
thing to the effect that If 1t was not cor
rect he (EIaywOOd) would hold him
(ROOts) personally responsible. Each
party reached for his pistol, and parties
interposed to quell the disturbance, but
three shots were fired, one breaking
Roots right arm and the other entering
his head. killing him instantly. An in
quest was held and verdict rendered
in accordance with the above fact. Hay
wood quietly gave himself up to the
Sheriff. Both parties are highly re-
spected here, and have hosts Of friends.
The affair cast a gloom over the entire
community.
LATER.-HaywOod, tried before Justice
Spence's court, was released on $1,000
