MORE MONEY FOR POLICEMEN
Pay Raised SO That All but One vii
GetSS6O per Month.

The question of raising the salaries of
the regular policemen of the city was
brought up Friday night at a special meet
ing OF the board of aldermen and before
the discussion closed the eligibility of
Officers +. Il. Coon and H. t." Rivers
was questioned. Alderman Trick intro
duccd a resolution to the effect that the
pay of policemen be apportioned to length
OF service, officers serving one year to
receive $50 per month"; those serving two
to receive Sj5 and those serving three and
over to receive $50. Alderman Taft said
he thought that the term of service
should be longer before an increase was
granted and during the discussion of the
subject the matter relative to officers
Coon and Rivers came up. They We're
appointed this spring by Mayor liaWley.
1t was stated that Officer Coon was over
50 years of age and according to an ordi
nance, men cannot be appointed police
men after they have reached the age of
81 years. Alderman Shea called for the
records of the board of aldermen for 1873
and the name of Mr.. Coon was among
those who took the frccman's oath at
that time. Alderman Shea remarked that
he knew Officer Coon to be over 30 years
old. Mayor Hawley was then asked how
old Officer Coon stated himself to be in
his application for appointment and he
replied that the age stated was 40. The
mayor said he had no reason to believe
otherwise until the matter came up last
| night. The objection to Oticer Rivers
was that he was not IA taxpayer or Il
voter. No action relative to the appoint
ments was taken.
Alderman Taft offered an amendment
to the resolution by Alderman Trick
whereby the terms of service and com
pensation should be as follows: First
year, $50 per month: third year, 81 per
month, and NTH year, $50 Alderman
/ Trick would not accept the amendment
and called for a yea and nay vote, the
amendment being accepted by vote of
eight to two those voting yes We're Al
dermen Taft Reeves. Morgan, Shea

INDIAN LANDS QUESTION.

In L..

Butte Mont, May h.-An interesting
land problem. involving about 200
ranchers Of Carbon county. Is present
ed for settlement by the interior de-
partment. The issue involved dates
back nearly 10 years, growing out of
the REIMBURSEMENT OF two townships
OF land by Long Bear the famous old
war chief Of the Crows. This relln-
quishment, Il is found was never ac-
cepted by the Interior department and
all the patents and deeds to various
ranches are void should the secretary
of the department live up to the strict
letter Of the law, and all the land would
revert to the original owners, the In
dams The attorneys for the heirs of
Long Bear have instituted proceedings
TO recover 81 900. as part Of $1,000 which
was paid to the departed chief for the
