drews certified for F. c. Andrews.
when he mad no funds in the bank,
amounting to s662.000. and which the
latter deposited among four other local
banks and a trust company are legal.
If they are held to be illegal because
of Cashier Andrews having certified
to them without knowledge of the di-
rectors. it is thought that the assets
of the City Savings bank, with what
nas been turned to it by F. c. Andrews,
will be sufficient to pay the depositors
in full. On the cotnrary, If they are
held to be legal, it will take just rnat
amount from the depositors. The
president. +. c. Pingree. said today
that he believed the checks would be
decided illegal and that the depositors
would receive at least rs cents on the

Eugene Sutherland is still captain OF

Thus spoke one of the City's alder
men who attended the special meeting
of the council yesterday afternoon 10

captain by Fire Chief Ruppe.
The court convened at the mayor S
office promptly at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, all present except Jurors
Rogers and Wright, and quite dis
tinguishey array of counsel for the
representative parties.
Chief Ruppe was represented by
City Attorney Moore, who, in this case,
acted as prosecuting attorney.
The presiding officer of the court,
the mayor. asked Captain Sutherland
if he was represented, and he prompt
ly stated that Alderman Harsch. one
of the sitting jurors, would officiate
as his counsel
The charges were then read, when
the presiding officer asked the accused
if he was guilty, TO which he replied
that he was not, and therefore the city,
through the prosecuting attorney, was
put to proof to sustain the charges
made by the chief of the fire depart
ment.
It appeared from the evidence alb
duced from the captain, that he had
absented himself from the fire depart
ment headquarters on divers occasions,
and had on one occasion gone as ar as
the old town to attend a game of base
ball without first securing permission
from the chief. On other occasions
he had gone TO purchase beef and TO
get shaved. The charges of having sold
city property. without reporting same,
was substantiated and II appeared in
evidence that he had sold some cop
