GOSSIP AT THE CITY HALL
Electrician Atkins Resignation
Accepted by the Mayor.
HARLEY TO FILL VACANCY
Reported That Poundm aster Whitmore
Will Also Resign Alderman Ell
derkin May Not Contest the
Suit to Gust Him.

1t was day of gossip in city hall
circles. AS the council has adjourned
for two weeks, there is not much to do
in the meantime except gossip. The
only real event of the day in connection
with the deadlock was the interview be-
tween George K. Atkins, the city cleo
trician, and the mayor. in which the
accepted at once and his place filed.
Mr.. Atkins resignation had been pre-
scented to the council and refused by it,
but on the resignation being again pre-
sented to the mayor yesterday 1t. was
accepted. Mr.. Atkins. better known as
George Kessler, will sever his connec-
tion with the fire department this eve
ming. He has been one of the most
faithful and valuable employees the city
ever had He has served for four years
and has saved the city much expense
in many ways by his hardness. Dan
Harley will succeed Kessler. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that the resignation
of Poundmaster Whitmore will be pre-
scented to the mayor to-day. If So his
place will also be filed by the mayor.
There is no question of the mayors
authority to fill temporarily any va
cancy that may occur but not many
are likely to occur. Mayor Harrington,
for example. did not make his appoint
ments of firemen until more than a
year after he had taken his seat as
mayor. Meanwhile the firemen served
without being confirmed Some of the
men now in the fire department have
never had their names presented to the
council for confirmation. Such appoint
ments can be temporarily made by the
mayor, but no appointment can be con-
sidered as permanent until approved by
the council.
1t was reported on the street yester-
day that Mr. Elderkin would make no
attempt to retain his seat in the coun-
ell against the contest brought by
Rowan. 1t was reported that he makes
| no denial of the fact that he was not
| a resident of the ward a year ago.
Whether this is true could not be learn
ed last night. The report may have
| sprung from the fact that Mr.. ElderEin
| did not occupy his seat at the council
meeting on Wednesday night. AS for
| the resolution to unseat Alderman
| Paige, it has been referred to the judi
ciary committee, but as the mayor has
appointed no judiciary committee, no
report can be expected for some lime.
The treasurer's books show that Paige
paid city taxes last fall, which would
| probably settle the matter If Mr.. FL
| derkin is not seated, Mr.. Rowan will
take the seat This will give the demo-
| Gratis one more vote. Before the next
council meeting Alderman Medin, an
other democrat, now absent in CalfOr-
mia, will return to Butte. If both Al

Citadel Condemn ed.

Halifax, n. S.. May 4.-The Evening
Mail says the citadel of the largest fort
in Halifax has been condemned by the
military authorities The citadel, con-
structed at a height of 253 feet above the
level of the sea is practically useless as
a fort and will be utilized hereafter prin-
cipally for barracks. The old cannon have
been dumped and replaced by few Max
inns The citadel was looked upon as the
Dunkrk of America 1t was constructed
al an enormous cost. A large number of
maroons were imported from Jamaica to
assist in the construction of the works,
but the mortality among them was so
great that the British government cons
sidered it advisable to send them to the
River Niger.

Ieopo1d's Boycott.

From the st. Paul Times.
King Leopold is at the present mo-
ment the most unpopular of all foreign
monarchs with the French, for he has
announced his intention of boycottlng
the great international exposition in
Paris next year. AS constitutional
monarch. he cannot prevent Belgium
from taking part in the exhibition, but
he is to all intents and purposes the
autocrat of the Congo Free State. and
as governor of the latter he has just
given orders to abandon the prepara-
lions which have been going on for the
past two years for the participation of
the Free State at the exhibition. This
extraordinary action on the part of the
king, which is bitterly resented in
France, is due to his dissatisfaction
with the manner in which his majesty
and the Congo Free State have been
ignored in the recently concluded At
rican convention between England and
France. 1t is feared that the king may
endeavor to institute an international
boycott of the exhibition. An attempt
of this kind on his part might prove
more successful than might be imagin-
ed, for in many Of the foreign news
PAPERS there are remarks to the effect
that the revelations in connection with
the Dreyfus case prove that neither life
nor liberty is safe in France and are
certainly not guaranteed by the admin
istration of the laws.

ALLEGED ORE THIEVES
Julian Guyette and Otto Binder
on Trial in a Justice Court.
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
Justice Will Look Up the Boys Pre-
vious Records-A Jury Promptly Ac-
quits Mrs. Lee Davenport of
Charge of Assault.
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT

Julian Guyette and Otto Binder. the
17-year-old boys charged with steal
ing $50 pounds of first class copper
ore from the Boston & Montana on
Saturday last while the ore was in cars
on the Montana Central tracks, had a
trial before Justice Bliss yesterday and
at the conclusion of the case the JUS
tice stated that he would take the case
under advisement until Saturday next,
and that in the meantime he would look
up the records of the boys and deter
mine whether or not he would commit
them to Jail with the recommendation
that they be sent to the state reform
school.
John L. Burns. the yardmaster for
the Montana Central railway, told or
seeing the two boys carrying away
the ore from the tracks and of his fol-
lowing them to within a short distance
of Guyettes home; that the boys saw
they were followed and dumped the
ore into some old placer diggings near
by. He also stated that he had short
ly before this located a plant at
Guyette's home. where considerable
quantity of stolen ore was cached.
David Dixon, weighmaster Of the
Boston & Montana company. also saw
the boys carrying away the ore from
the railroad. Mr.. Dixon testified that
the value of the $50 pounds of ore was
between IS and $40.
Guyette and Binder testified that they
saw the ore lying along the tracks
and did not know it was wrong to
take It, Binder stated that he had
bought bicycle on Friday last and
paid 81 on it and that night and the
next day he earned 81 more to pay on
it by selling rags, etc.

defendants, stated that he thought II

third degree, committed upon Karl
Hall, the S-year-old son Of Attorney Q.
NJ. Hall. The evidence disclosed the
fact that the case was the outgrowth
of the usual neighborhood row, in
which the children of the Davenport
and Hall families figured extensively.
The complaint charged that Mrs. Dav-
export on Saturday last assaulted the
boy and beat him in his own yard.
A Mrs Jacoby. who lives near the
Hall-Davenport premises, testified that
she saw Mrs. Davenport dragging the
boy towards the Davenport house.
Karl Hall told his story of the affair
and ingenuously told howhe had chased
Eddie Davenport around a barn three
or four times at the start and then
SHE'D a rock at him, but missed him
and struck Mrs. Davenport. who there
upon seized him and dragged him to-
wards her residence. He produced
small piece of coal from his pocket
while on the stand and gravely eN-
planned to the jury that he had it in his
pocket for Eddie Davenport.
O. M. Hall and his wife followed. but
their story did not particularly enlight-
en- the jury as to anything except the
animosity between the families.
Mrs. Hatch, for the defense, told
about the mischevous actions Of Kari
Hall and his attempting to throw var-
Gus projectiles at Mrs. Davenport.
Mrs. Davenport took the stand and
denied that she at any time touched the
boy except that she took hold of his
arm to prevent his striking her with
rock.
After brief argument by Mr..
Thresher, who appeared for the de-
fense, and a waiver of the right to
argue by the state, the jury took the
case and soon rendered verdict of not

HE HAD A REASON
why He Didn't believe in Circumstan
tial Evidence.

From the Buffalo News.
A good story is being told about juror
who was drawn for service in the crmi-
nal court recently on a murder case. He
was one of those men who was willing to
do his part as a good citizen, but he had
a prejudice against circumstantial evil
dence which was SO strong that he could
not dispel it from his mind, and it 1lnally
became necessary to excuse him.
He answered the questions put to him
by the prosecuting attorney to qualify,
but when the attorney for the defendant
got down to where he asked him If he
would convict a person on circumstantial
evidence he hesitated,
why do you hesitate?' asked the
judge.
well Til be frank with YOU the juror
replied. 81 don't believe in it.
''If the evidence was SO overwhelming

No.
"Why?'
Judge, can l whisper to you?"
Eyes.
There was Il three minute conversation
between the judge and the juror at the
conclusion of which the judge smiled and
then he said: Juror, you are excused
The attorneys did not forget the Incl
dent and at the end of the days session
they asked the Judge what the trouble
was with Mr.. --, naming the juror who
was excused.
The judge said the man told him he
was the owner of a farm in Cheektowaga,
ana among his live stock was a handsome
pet calf One day while he was out in
the barnyard chopping at a fence with an
ak this calf made a break to get out of
the yard With the ak still in his hand
he ran after the animal and caught him
by the tail. Just as he was dragging it
back from an opening in the fence
member of the family happened along
and, seeing him with an ak in his hand,
concluded he was suffering with an at
tack of senile dementia, and in his fury
was trying to hack the poor beast into
veal outlets.
Judge, | was perfectly rational. and
protested that | was attempting nothing
of the kind said the juror. but appear
