NEWPORT NE WS.


NEWPORT, Oct. 10.--A great deal OF in
fiuence is being brought 10 bear on Mr.
Cottrell. who was nominated for Mayor on
the Democratic ticket, but as Yet he
has not consented to run. III ne
should enter the field, or he refuse and
another man be run in his place, there Is u
great possibility o. an indep pendent May
orally ticket being put In the field, with
CaDtain Waters as the man. This ticket
would receive the support OF large mum
bcr OF voters, who are indignant al tne
treatment to which the Captain was SUB
jected to Monday evening.
Police Investigation.
The talk of having a wholesale investi-
cation OF the police department Is heard
In some directions, but IL is claimed that
the question is stirred up purely Tor
political purposes. What the promoters
expect TO gam politically or otherwise Is
hard TO tell.
One OF the ideas advanced by these
amateur COTS and Parkhursts Is 10 have
the chief appointed for term of years
and TO have the Office of sub-chief
instituted, the latter TO be filled in
the same way that of Sergeant Is now,
during term OF proper behavior. Another
move would be to do away with the city
detective, having the office devolye on the
sub-chief. But the charges areas yet, far
distant.

loss was yesterday, when the checks
were returned from the bank. He
then discovered that Cassemir had
drawn the three in his own name, and
signed Franks name. They were all for
small amounts, one being given to the

have been most cleverly executed, as in

OF the various bank cashiers. Cassemir
