EDITORS HERALD: A police scanda
has developed here which promises
startling developments before the in
vestigation now pending is completed
The City Council has held secre
sessions for several days past, ant
although matters have been KEEP
very quiet, enough is known to warrant
statement OF the following facts; At the
time of the last municipal election Police
Captain Shaw's name came up for nomi-
nation for City Marshal, but he
did not secure the nomination., and
afterwards stated through the newspapers
that the use Of his name was not author
lied by him. From that time there has
been q GOODNESS existing between Mar
shal Mundell and the Captain of Police.
Several serious charges were recently
made against the Captain of Police, such
as drunkenness, winking at faro games,
neglecting his duty, &C., all believed
to be at the instigation of the
Marshal. A short time ago the
Marshal took the police force
in hand himself, suspended Captain
Shaw, and it is rumored instructed the
officers to arrest Shaw if he was found
on their beats. A second session OF the
Council was held, and the day after the
Marshal's suspension of the Captain, the
Captain was again in command, and it is
presumed the Council exonerated him
from the charges preferred. Shaw claims
that MundeL is anxious to display
him so as to push his son-in-law,
Slater, who is now acting as
deputy marshal, in his place. The mat
ter is exciting much comment here, and
will end in the resignation of one or the
other of the contestants.
