Police Department.

Bicycle Thief Returns the Wheel-All
the News.

Once In about so long a time a cool
ness springs up In some one Of the de-
partments, which gives the public a
chance to talk and furnish gossip for a
while and which creates no small amount
of'tiissension. The recent happenings IN
the police department are Just now the
target at which unpleasant things are
being said and there Is widened breach
between two or three of the force. That
reward of $500 for the arrest OF
and conviction of the would be Fisk and
son murderers was an attraction for two
officers here, and both were watching
every clue possible to capture the parties
and the reward. One claims underhand
work of the other, and the fact that there
was some queer work about recent ar
rest and discharge has led to more cool
ness. 1t was suggested In these columns
that II some Of the specials" who are
otherwise employed, would attend to
their own business IL would be
Of much benefit to the regular force and
a credit to the town. They are continu-
ally grabbing for every cent, and II is no
concealed fact that by their making so
many arrests the indebtedness OF the
town has been greatly Increased, while
their desire for few dollars was satisfied.
Some Of the older members Of the force
are not satisfied with the present condi.
tion of things and think II there are any
soft Jobs the oldest In service should
have them. They refer to the berth as
night man at the station. Others say
they would not accept the place now
filed by newly appointed man.
