The trouble with the members of hide
pendent Fire Company No. 2 seems to be
among the members. T. ]. Clark, who is
the assistant chief, is treasurer of the COM
pany, and it seems that the members
wanted to use the money for other pur-
poses than the bylaws provide. AS re-
suit the rest of the company decided to
Gust Mr.. Clark and have not lived up to
the laws. This action they cannot legally
do and even now Chief McElroy could
fire every member of the company for not
complying with the laws. He has handed
in his resignation to council, but that body
of men should consider the same before
they act. Mr.. McElroy has always had the
best interests of the city at heart in all
his undertakings and has proved himself
to be the proper man in the right place.
Council can do nothing more fair than to
investigate the trouble, place the blame
where it belong, and render verdict ac-
cordingly.

terday.
Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Beck, of Wheeling,
