FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 80. 1893.
.w,vor.s orrr,s,vc WoopEN LEG

A MAYORS OFFENSIVE WOODEN Leg -
There was more excitement in Argentine
Mo-. on Wednesday evening than there has
been since the fateful time when a billy goat
broke into the City Hall snd ate the NUM-
cipal records. Mayor Willard is possessed of
a hasty temper and q wooden leg. The first
occasionally leads him astray. Alderman
David West is the owner Of a vituperative
tongue and a bilr against the city.
Tuesday night, prior to the meeting OF the
Cornell, alderman West, who, in addition 10
discnarging the duties and drawing the emo
lument Of an Alderman, claims the right 10
serve the city as sewer inspector. presented a
Ill against the city to the Mayor, who re-
fIsfd to recognize the claim, and stated with
emphasis that he never would sign tie bill.
vituperative language between the two fol.
lowed. The Mayor resented abuse. ard
sought to end it by an onslaught with his
cane. The Alderman parried the attack and
got the cane.
Then it was that the alterior use OF the
wooden leg was made evident. Mayor vii.
lard unstrapped the extraneous member and
returned to the fray. The enemy was routed.
The Mayor called the convention to order,
but the members were too excited 70 hold the
session and refused to meet. The Mayor and
Council will be asked to resign.

not claim it to be a ~cure-ail, but a remedy for
catarrh, colds in the head and hay fever. 1t
