 Suit on His Bond.
 suit to recover $20 has been brought
 before Justice Lloyd against the bonds
 men of Mike Jones, Notary Public and ex-Officio Justice of the Peace. It Is. | alleged that he has collected that amount
 and refuses or has failed to turn 1t over l to the person for whom he collected 1t, | and now 1t is proposed to make his bonds | men, Messrs P. J. Loughlin, R. II. Ken
 nedy and w. w. Burns pay the amount. | It is rumored that these men or some | of them will retire from MT. Jones's | bond, and in case he fails to make a new bond the names of one or two men have
  for the place. It is also stated that MT. Jones will pay over the amount Monday,
 and if so. that will stopthe whole matter.
 The Committee Investigating. The committee appointed by the City Council to investigate the charge of
 councilman taking bribe of s25O, during l the Street Fair, met in the Mayors of. flee this afternoon at 3:3O o'clock. Those
 who were supposed to know anything | about the matter had been notified by the City Attorney to be present and testify. | The committee to investigate, under | Councilman Phillipss resolution, consist ed of the Mayor City Clerk and City At | torney. It is not thought that any evi- dence fixing the bribe-taking on any one | was forthcoming, and that will probably | be the report of the investigating commit | tee to the City Council when it meets. | Very few witnesses were before the com mittee and most of those that were there merely told what they had heard on the | streets, which did not amount to com | petent evidence.
