time the Boer and the Highlander re-

Boer would bob up from behind his shell

drop out of sight The Highlander would
jump up, reply, and then hurriedly hide
himself. About twenty shots had been
exchanged in that way. when an ex-
clamation of pain burst from the lips of
the Highlander. His left hand had been

WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME Be?
QUESTIONS CONFRONTING NEXT
MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
Who Will Preside Over Councilp-
Candidates For Chief of Police
Davenport's Friends Claim Cinch.

The new city council of Ogden will
convene next Tuesday and be ready
for business as soon as it shall have
been organized by the selection of a
president. 1t is probable that this or
ganization will be Immediately effected,
but. on the other hand, there is a pos
sibility of some delay. Today the con-
test for election of president seems to
have settled down to two candidates
George W. Jones (Dem-) and H. II.
Thomas CRep.)
Although the gentlemen are of OPP
posite political beliefs. it appears that
politics will cut but little figure in the
voting. Some Democrats are known
to favor Thomas and some Republicans
would probably vote for Jones. Po-
litically the council is divided evenly
five Republicans. Carr. Powers, Cross,
Thomas and Abbott-and five Demo-
Gratis, Emmett, Jones, Parry, Flygare
and Brown. Party lines are apt to be
obliterated in the work of the council
Yesterday Thomas seemed to have
shade the, best of the situation. his
friends claiming that he was sure OF
six votes. The Jones men replied TO
this claim with an enigmatical Wait
and see" There is, of course, pos
Powers, Parry, Abbott or Flygare may
come to the front. After the organ
ization will come the appointive offices,
though very likely this matter will re-
quire several weeks-maybe months
to settle. Ed Davenports friends say
he has "cinch" on the office of chief
of police for at least another term
mo matter whether Mayor Browning
appoints him or not" say his friends,
there are enough of his supporters in
the council to prevent the confirma-
ton of any other man, and in that
case Ed would held on to the job" G.
r. Belnap and Newton Farr are also
mentioned as candidates, each with
strong backing.
For chief of the fire department, Or
son Riser appears to be on Comfort
avenue.
For the other appointive offices there
are numerous applications, but the
various "boonIs' are not being turned
loose to run at large They Will be
brought out at the proper time, say
