After a vexatious delay of several
months in determining the location OF
the Stubblefield home for INDECENT
widows and orphans of the states OF
Washington and Oregon, and within a
few hours after it had been definitely
decided that the institution would be
established near Walla Walla, an act
ion was commenced in the superior
court in this city which will tend to
cause more trouble for the trustees OF
the proposed home and may hold up
the matter for an indefinite period OF
time.
Shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday

White, both residents of the state OF
Arkansas, through their attorneys Nc
Donald and Rupp, filed a petition in

of the decedent.
The petitioners allege that they are

WAS UP TO M'LEAN
Resigns as Member of
Street Committee
GlASfORD REMAINS CHAIRMAN
Ordinance Providing for Mounted Po'
Iiceman Passed by Council at
Special Meeting.

Councilman Glasford is again chair
man of the street committee ana eV-
ervthing is apparently moving along
smoothly now with the council. he
withdrew his resignation at special
meeting of the council held last night.
This action was not taken by Glas-
ford, however, until the resignation OF
Councilman Mclean as member OF
the same committee had been pre-
scented and accepted. When the cOun-
ell convened Mayor Hunt informed the
members that he had received the
RESIGNATION of Councilman Glasford
and asked the council what they would
do. The members requested Glasford
to remain on the committee, but all
their talk had no effect on the council
man. He said that he would stand by
what he had done and it was useless
for the cOuncilmen to urge him 10
make a withdrawal 1t was impossible
for him to remain on the committee
under the present circumstances.
Councilman Mclean then presented
his resignation. saying that he was sat
isfied that GlasfOrd was the best man
in the council for the position and he
hoped that he would remain. In re-
ply Glasford said that he did not feel
like serving on the committee with
Mclean. and if McLean's resignation
was accepted he would reconsider his
former action. The council then ac-
cepted McLeans resignation and Glas-
ford Withdrew his.
The council took up the ordinance
providing for the office of mounted
policeman and passed it, all the coun-
cilmen present voting for its passage
except GlasfOrd. Boyer and Martin
We're absent. The ordinance provides
that the mounted policeman shall per-
form the duties of pOundmaster. On
motion it was decided to offer the po
siton to Ira A. Mckenzie until De-
cember l, when the council will meet
and appoint a regular officer.
