The retirement of the old county of
ilcials from the south end of the Joint
building was accomplished yesterday in
much the same manner as predicted by
this paper sometime ago. OF course
there were some bitches, but they could
not well be avoided. The line of march
was not as prompt as it might have been
OWING to the reluctance of the Fourth
DIVISION, composed of Mont. Fisher, to
move when the trumpet sounded For
ward, Mont had not formed in his APP
pointed place, but was in his office well
coming the new auditor to the shores of
the once, when aide-de-camp Steele, of
the sheriff S Office, found him and hustled
MN into line. Squires and Frank Emery
claimed they were not compelled to
move because they had secured a con-
tract and that delayed the Sixth division
Tor time and Harry Joseph, of the
Kosher Guards, claimed exemption from
marching because his position was Il por-
ton of the mounted service. Jim Lynch
and Billy Lynch's brother both refused
10 go when the command was given and
1t took both Hardy and his adjutant-
general, Ct. w. Gibbs, to get him to move.
Seth Stone and some of the other clerks
IN the recorders Office also declined to
parade and had to be threatened with
court martial ere they could be induced
to parade. Mckaig was off on fur
Tough or off on something else so he did
not come. His place was filled by an
other fat man who came along just in
time to take his place; fill the void as it
were.
The line of march as made up was as
follows:
Harvey Hardy, Grand Marshal
Gibbs and Steele.
Chief Deputy Clark.

it was Joseph's job anyway, and he didn't
like to take it from him; that he was
glad the old thing broke.
The line of march was from the steam
radiator out to the cold territory which
lies SOUTH north, east and west of the
building, where the line disbanded. The
beginning was better than the ending,
After all there was a sort of sadness
about the affair. Not that it was a
melancholy sight to witness from the
standpoint of Il victorious partisan. but
by reason of the melancholy expressions
on the faces of the fired. Take Roberts
for instance. He usually wears Jovial
smile and looks happy, sleek and well
clad with nothing but a look of grim
resignation. His clothes didn't seem to
fit him. He was all awry. Mr.. Roberts
was anything but the exemplification of a

soldier walks to certain death on, the
continental and seemed to be glad it was
all over. Confdentially he informed
reporter that he was glad.

moons and he felt relieved No doubt;
he was relieved. dunbar relieved him.
Several others were relieved in the same
manner. All the balance Drofessed to
be greatly pleased also. But there were
more smiles lacking than there were
present.
Treasurer Lynn turned over $4,000 to
his successor in office. Mr.. Lynch. This
was something worth having and ac-
cording to Lynn something worth get
ting rid of He declares he is glad to
get shut of the place and its arduous
cares.
Sheriff Hardy is aggrieved over the re-
port in Sundays Tribune to the effect
that he turned over business to con-
stables who received fees for performing
