The police commission has undergone
as many changes in the past week as
some boards OF it's size would in a life
time. When the first upheava] came it
was thought that Commissioners Guile
and Gjertsen would go hand-in hand
against Mayor Babb and crowd out Chief
Bracket. But this caused so much pub
lie condemnation that Guile thought it
better to take Mayor Babb's view OF
things and let Detective King 60 Gjert-
sen did not like this, and he was not
slow in showing his teeth. He did not
want Brackett to remain, and he was
anxious that King should retain his
place, but, being in the minority, he was
beaten. Giertsen does not like Bracket
because, as he says, he is too partial to
the Irish,-a very good fault for the
chief to have. He knows whether man
will make good policeman Or not when
he sees him without asking him where
he was born AS d result Of the shuttle /
Commissioner Gjertsen is out in the cold,
with good prospects Of remaining there
for a time at least.
There was q wild cat in Che ne1ghbor- |
hood OF Lake Amelia last week, which |
Will be long remembered. AS result |
Of lis visit to that locality one man has
died and the second is sick and may die. |
The Cat IN question visited one Of The
camps Of County Surveyor Dahl's party
several days ago and bit one OF the men.
Nils Strand, on the face while he was
asleep in the camp. Strand grew sick
soon afterwards and became SO bad that
ae was taken to St. Barnabas hospital |
'or treatment. Here he died of gen
a1ne case Of hydrophobia. Some days
after Strand was taken sick the cat bit
nan named Hanson, whe was also one
IF the surveying party, and he is now
somewhere in the city under the imme-
1iate care of the health department,
These cases have caused so much COM
nent that the state board of health has
aiken the matter in hand. It is the in !
;ention OF the authorities to send BIN to
Paris, where tile celebrated doctor, Pas !
eur, lives. Mayor Babb, Alderman
