SUEING TIE CITY,

RIOR COURT
Against the City Council tor Damages.
Judge Statham Wants 81 ,OOO--The
Other Suits Withdrawn.

Against the City Council tor Damages.
Judge Statham Wants 81 ,OOO--The
Other Suits Withdrawn.
Three damage suits were filed in the
superior court last week gainst the city
council of Dawson through the attorney
for the plaintiffs, Colonel NJ. G. Edwards,
and the mayor and each member of the
council were served with copies of the
declarations by Sheriff Christie Friday
afternoon.
The suits one brought by Judge NJ. G..
Statham, Henry Butler and Bill Patter
son. and grew out of the fact that when
the MAYOR and three new members of the
council went into Office last August they
displaced the officers who were elected
by the council just after the Irregular city
election last December.
The compliments allege that they were
displaced without legal cause.
Judge Statham was city weigher and
sues for 81 900. In his petition he sets
forth ''that the city council of Dawson,
the governing body of the city of Daw-
son, has damaged your petitioner in the
sum of 81 900 by reason of the following
facts: at the beginning of the cotton
season of 1884 your petitioner was duly
and legally elected public weigher for
the city of Dawson under the laws made
and provided by the city council of
Dawson; but before he had been able to
discharge his duties he was wilfully,
wrongfully and illegally discharged from
his position as public weigher without
any malfeasance or dereliction of any
kind being charged to him, SAID actions
not being in conformity with Sec. OF
the city code of the city of Dawson and
in violation of the laws of such cases,
made and provided; said actions being
greatly to the injury and damage of your
petitioner by said council"
The next largest suit is brought by
W. L. Patterson, the city scavenger, for
S12O, salary for three months, while
Henry Butler, lamplighter, asks for $84,
three months salary.l
Patterson and Butler were reelected
to their former positions several days
before the suits were filed, and in view
of that fact have withdrawn them.
1.-THE council held meeting Monday
night to discuss the suits and get ready
10 meet them in court.

A PLUCKY CLERK.
HIS BOSSES WERE HIDING BEHIND
A COUNTER
And When They Raised Their Heads John
York MistOok Them for Burglars
And Opened Fire.

York MistOOk Them for Burglars
And Opened Fire.
Mr.. John York, son of Rev. P. L. York.
of this county, treated his employees to
quite dangerous surprise the ther
night. @
Mr. York is employed by W. L. Clark
and A. G. burden, partners in the groce-
ry business and who operate two stores
down at Albany.
They suspected, so report goes, that
everything was not going right at the
store in Mr.. York's charge, and, few
nights ago, after the store in which Mr.
York clerked was closed, the proprietors
let themselves in Sand hid under the
counter to await developments. They
had not long to wait, when York and a
brother of A. q. burden entered the
store accompanied by two girls of the
town.
They at once began to make ban.
quet out of the canned goods, soda
water, etc.
The curiosity of the secreted proprie-
tors asse rted itself about this time, and,
poking their heads out TO get better
view, they were discovered by young
York, who mistook them for burglars
and, drawing his pistol. opened fire on
Clark and burden. Five shots were
fired, but notwithstanding Clark face
was burned by the fash from the pistol
no ons was hurt.
The young man doubtless thought he
was in serious scrape, for he telegraph
ed for his father, who went down to AL
bany at once. 1t seems that there was
nothing wrong about the affair, as York
was selling the goods to burden. who
was treating the girls.
We learn that he is still holding his
job and that Clark and burden have de
cided to conduct their detective work
hereafter on different plan.

Letter from Nlr. Kelley,

To me Editor Of The Nation:
Su.-There are some dimensions so enor-
nous that we best obtain an adequate
idea Of them by comparison. Perhaps this
method NAV be useiu.ly employed 10 indi-
cate the monstrOus proportions of tho
United States pension expenditure.
When the Franco. Prusslan war Indemni-
" of five thousand millions of francs
1906 OO0. OO0) was exacted by Germany,
tho demand was considered a merclless ex-
ercise Of the power OF conquest. VIII 1t
be believed that by the close of the cur
rent fiscal year Dune 80, 1881 the South
will have paid for the support of northern
families one hundred and eec0l millions Of
dollars more than an equivalent number Of
the French people were required TO pay
the couqueTiuE Germans as war indemnity
BY the close of next Juno tho sum paid
in pensions will amount, IN round num-
bers. to fifteen hundred and seyenty-hve
millions Of dollars Isl, 1915, 100000. Now,
the proportion of the southern people to
the whole population Of tho mon since
the war mas been reme' kably constant at
one-third, 80 that the South has cOntrl-
bnted OF that total One-thIrd, or five hun
tlred and twenty-five millions of dollars
(S525, 900, 000). The average population of
theISouth since the war has been 1900, 000,
or three-seyenths OF the population Of
France Ia 1871. 80 that the sum which the
southern people would have had 70 pro-
vide for the war indemnity to Germany
would have been three-sevenths Of nine
