The mayor evidently expected that
|the>record of Mr.. Daum during his pre-
vious connection with the police de-
partment in an official capacity would
GARRY some weight with the aldermen,
but II didn't.

When the name of David Miekeljohn
/ came up Byrne entered a vigorous pro-
i test against him. He said that he no
ticed in yesterdays district court pro-
ceedings Miekeljohn had been charged
with attempting to defeat the ends of
Justice by getting an important witness
out of the state. IL this was true he
considered the man decidedly unfit for
confirmation as a policeman, and he
moved that the matter be referred
back to the police commission for In
vestigation.
Byrne demanded the ayes and nays
| in order that everybody might be put
on record The vote resulted as fol-
lows: Ia
Ayes-Byrne. Cannon. AHarrington,
Knowlton. Pascoe. Schatzlein' Vivion'
Walsh.
Nays--Cambers, Carder. briggs. Hell
Zig, Montgomery. Rodda, Rowe Mr..
lMiekcljohn's name accordingly goes
hack for investigation. Byrne also
registered n kick against John In-
grahm, whom he SAID nao nov hve1
inside the city limits for a year and
his name went back for investigation.
| An objection was also entered
| against AL Minger on the ground that
he is not a citizen OF Butte. ana the
same action was taken In his case as
In the preceding ones.
Munger was here on a leave of absence
from the Bi-Metallic company or Phii-
,nsb,,rs. and that IL such was the case
Il he had no business on the police force.
The following. who were not known
to all of the aldermen we.s ,aau r ooss
| ~ investigation: William Chambers.
Bruce Goudie, Donald Mcintosh. Fred
Parlin. A. j. Werner. w. j.. Buckner.
Fred Kohl and Dan Mcleod.
A. J. Werner was then appointed
| chief of the fire department and was
confirmed by a vote of IL to 2. Byrne
and Walsh voted in the negative.
The mayor then announced the ap-
| noIntment of w. T. Boardman and f.
III. Cole as registry agents. In reply to
| a question from Byrne the mayor stat
| ga that both of the men named Were
republicans. and he appeared greatly
surprised when he was informed that
only one OF the agents could belong TO
| that political faith. The mayor there
upon withdrew both appointments un-
IN the next meeting. with the remark
| that II he must appoint a democrat
ne wanted time In which to select
| good one.
Byrne demanded recognition for the
populists. AS several democrats had
already been given appointments. nc
asked that one of the registry clerks
be selected from the popuiists. We
all know that Il is your honor's de
sire TO be Just when you are allowed e
) be-" concluded Byrns. but we know
that you sometimes cannot do as YOU
. would like"
