Of this city and Thomas r. Black, man T.
ager. secretary and treasurer OF the
Salt Lake Saddery company. All these

and any one Of them he thinks could
he elected and would make a good
councilman.
Of course II must be borne In mind
that Robertson has not yet resigned
and that he may not do so for rev
weeks, though It Is conceded that Il Is
only q question Of time when he VIII
step down and out. Councilman DAVIS
was at the county jail In conference
with Robertson today and may have
secured his resignation for presenta
ton tonight, but Mr.. Davis knows
more about that than anyone else ano
does not care 10 discuss Robertson
| or his relations with him In any way
should any Of the gentlemen named

sweeping change OF the bank before th'

other rumor that Cashier Dooly would

no definite information to offer.
"Rumor, rumor all rumor,' he SAID

he continued III there were any

well that the information would not b.
given to a reporter before the change

been maintained ever since the explo
