CALLS KEENE A FOREIGNER.
Lively Session of the Lincoln Council
Yesterday Afternoon.

noon at 2 o'clock.
There was an unexpected breeze thrown
into the meeting for the position OF Town
Sergeant, which ichanged the con-
tinued two years OF quietness among the
leaders OF the Republican party. They
were not at ali pleased with the work Of
Henry e. Pollard, the man who is known
to have a greedy heart.
Upon recommendation of Councilman
Schiller, the Council went into executive
session, which utilized more than two
hours, and which, II reports are true, and
no one has a reason to doubt them, was a
stormy one.
This "star chamber" session was to
straight out matters which the leaders
Of the party have suggested, and 1t was
quite change from the ordinary line of
business. During the heated secret
session the reporters and spectators
amused themselves as best possible and
passed the two and one half hours In a
dragging manner. The reporters held
sway In the District Court room and a
mock trial was held.
At last the seven wise town fathers
made their appearance, and the business
was proceeded with as follows:
Bills were first allowed and the Sewer
Commissioners regular report was re-
ceived and the bill, amounting to f266.62,
allowed.
Building permits were granted to Hen
ry willoughby, Charles f. Miller and
John McGee.
G. Guertin and John Grant were granted
licenses to sell fireworks.
Special Officer Boudron was granted a
petition to have lunch wagon.
The Board Of Firewards requested the
appointment Of fifteen special officers to
serve July 4th at the celebration.
Councilman Manchester wanted to have
the matter straight and he thought that
the men suggested should be seen re-
garding the appointment. The matter
