Somebody intimated that the council

THE MAYORS STORY.
The mayor said additional policemen
are needed badly. He said that it was
no uncommon thing to see men after i l
O'Clock at night going home in the mid
die of the street with revolver in each
hand. They have to do something for
protection.
"Why, it was only the other night"
he said, ''that l eaw man going along
Main street with gun in his hand,
and when he saw me he seated behind
q pile of brick, thinking perhaps was
after him."
Some OF the commissioners winked
"the other eye," but the mayor contin-
ued by saying that something should be
done by the council to put more police.
men on.

disturb the quiet of that ecclesiastical
body on "Hundry occasions and in divers
Manners" The present pastor ia said
TO not favor Rev. Ccllins's methods OF
dispereing the loafers when they created
disturbances. He would get down from
the pulpit and ''wade into the entire
gang" as one commissioner expressed
it. Since he has gone to the classical
precincts of salubrious Fresno police
