Wednesday evening Officer Costello found
an apparently lost boy, about years old, on
Myrtle street. He was crying bitterly and
said he had come down town with his mother
to store and had become separated from
her. His people, he said, had been in the
city only six weeks and he could not tell
where he lived He gave his name as Tommy
Williams and his fathers first name as Peter,
blacksmith by occupation. The city was
ransacked by the police hoping to find his
parents, and finally he was taken IN charge
for the night by MIR. and Mrs. Joe Becker.
This morning the boy slipped aboard Mil
waukee train, but telegram from Chief
Shortall headed him off at Alton and he was
returned The boys stories finally conficted

ing the boys father from Minneapolis last

another boy. the two parting company at

1t having been suggested in the presence of
one of the aldermen that in case the council
declined to remove Officer Smollett the mayor
would regularly suspend him from time to
time and so keep him out Of office continu-
ously,sthe alderman questioned whether such
action on the part of the mayor would not
lay him liable to impeachment.

ing heard the case Of the Northwestern Fuel
company against Fayette Marsh. The action
is on promissory notes, which the defendant
alleges have been partially paid. Decision
reserved.

gardiug the removal of Smollett from the po-
