Mr.. Mnyiugh's Soul Troubled

The schemes OF sOiIe Silver Jiarty
politicians are many and varied
whenever Il good position is in sight.
Sometimes these schemes work as
slick rs pouring butter down Il calves
throat and sometimes they come to
grief. \ scheme Of the latter kind
now veXes the troubled sonl of John
$. Mayhugh. Indian agent at the
Western Shoshonc Agency. When
this good man took charge of the
agency. he fonnd II NJ. Williams
acting rs clerk. The keen scent OF
Mr.. Mayhugh f"r II position to give
to one 0f his family induced him tn
ask Williams for. lii resignation so
hat one Of his family could be APP
pointed and draw down the SO per
month salary attached to the position.
Williams refused To- resign MS the TO-
sition mn under tile Civil Service
rules. IA tho story is told us. May
hugh then wrote To the Department
that the position was unnecessary aud
that he would do the work for moth
ing. He received Il cart reply from
the Department that the position Of
clerk Mt the agency Vas a permanent
u ind that money had been appro-
priRtcd for 1t. Tho idea Of anyone
filing an unnecessary position worth
40 IA month, except IT was "A member
OF his " family, so worked upon
the economical soul oI tins good man
that he informed The Department
that he would abolish the posiiiou
and Immediately dis charged MIR. VIII
bams. Now Williams knows a thin-
or two about the Civil Service rules
and lac informed the Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs 10y telegram of Mr..
May hughs action and received "a re-
ply To remain where lie was until f..
received orders FROM Washington tn
go elsewhere. As the matters stands
now, Williams holds the fort and
one member of Mr.. Mayhugh's family
Is not drawing down Il salary Of SO
per month.
