officers and committees were heard
which showed an improvement in the
financial condition of the department
over last year, there being more than
81 200 on hand, which is $500 better than

been rung during the past year, with a
total of 500 damages, which was fully
covered by insurance.

At the meeting in March eight nomina-
tons had been made for the position of

M. Langohr. Mr.. Langohr attempted to
withdraw his name before the ballot was
taken last night, but he would hardly get
upon his feet before cries of down. y,
DOWN. and the cheers of the boys would
drown his voice, and after six attempts he
Kept his seat and was elected to the posi-
ton by large majority.
During the recess for the election of
company officers Mr.. Langohr lhanded in
his resignation to the secretary, thanking
the department for the honor conferred
upon him, and by the unanimous vote of
the department George Miller was elected
to the position of stoker in his place.
John Manningham, who was arrested
for the robbing of the residence of Nelson
Story, was arranged before Judge Arm
strong on Tuesday on the charge of grand
larceny, having stolen more than 80 arti-
cles, valued at $1,000. Manningham has
been very reticent during his confine-
ment, and at his preliminary hearing he
would say but little beyond that he would
have lawyer here to defend him when
his trial came of, and it was therefore a
great surprise when he pleaded guilty to
the charges before Judge Armstrong on
Tuesday. Manningham remarked that
he could bring in no witnesses, while the |
police would swear to what they pleased, |
so as to convict him, and it is supposed /
he expects lighter sentence than he |
would have gotten had he stood trial.
The district court for Gallatin county |
convened here on Monday and the entire |
week will be given to setting cases.
