So per ton, but did not want them.
b. w. Cavanaugh testified that he went
to Davis aud told him that the Mayor was
about to sell him some grate-bars, and
Davis said he had no objection. He did
not think there was over a ton.
NJ. Gottoriski testified that he went to
Davis to buy iron aud the latter referred
him to the Mayor for permission. He
told Davis what he would give, and Davis
said he would speak to Wolf about it.
Davis testified that q number of parties
came to him to buy iron and he always
referred them to the Mayor. When Nc
Lain came to him he told him to go,to the
board. He neversaw McLain again un-
til he came to the store to ask about em-
ployment at the Water Works. McLain
never made him any offer, except the
first time. when Mr.. McMorry intro
duced him. When the iron was sold,
Wolf telephoned that the men had offered
him $50 for it, and he told him to do as he
pleased. He did not know that the iron
was sold till the men came to pay for it.
He then spoke to the Mayor about it, in
the Trustees meeting, as the evidence
showed. He detied any man to say that
lie had not told the truth. Perjury had
been committed in this matter and it was
a piece of spite work. He lad always
worked for the best intereste of the city,
and no man could accuse him of untruth.
He was willing to rest on his character.
Leonard said that the matter was not
properly carried on and that the iron
should not have been sold except by con-
sent of the board, but be did not think
that any wrong had been intended. He
hoped that in future such matters would
be brought before the board.
Lawton felt the same way and moved
that all city officials be exonerated from
all Intentional wp0ng-doiDg.
Deyine said he would not vote for the
motion, but would move vote OF censure
on the parties.

Port Townsend. Sept. Special About
o'clock this morning William Nelson. A
boarding house hoatman. was seriously
stabbed with an ordinary claspknife by n
Mexican sailor named Gomez. The affair
occurred on Water street. and was the re-
suit of some heated argument In which
the two had been engaged. The knife
glanced off on Nelson's ribs near the
stomach. otherwise the cut would have
proven fatal. Gomez Immediately took to
his heels, promptly pursued by Officers
Furlong and Hovis and several bystand
ers. who chased the fugitive down along
the wharves. In attempting 20 hide the
Mexican struck hole. and. the tide being
low landed among the rocks on the beach.
He was then easily captured. as the fall
partially stunned him. Nelson is resting
easily. and will probably soon recover.
