OLINGER MADE
CITY MARSHAL.

Marshal Fraley was discharged at
Monday nights council meeting, and
II. ). Ginger named as marshal instead.
traley's removal was based on neglect
of duty. On Councilman Prather's mo-
tion that he be removed, roll call
showed every councilman voting in the
affirmative.
There was considerable discussion on
the marshal. Mayor Blowers said he
was anxious to see hin removed at once
though not for personal reasons, and be-
cause of this, felt that he would rather
have complaints come from members of
the council. He said different citizens
had come to him with complaints, but
on his notifying the marshal, the latter
paid no further attention to the matters.
Mayor Blowers also objected to the
marshal having tied up an Indian to
an oak tree in the Jail yard at the time
OF the encampment, because the red
man refused TO work. 1t was this incl
dent that started the war Of words be-
tween the mayor and the marshal.
Councilman Early said the council at
the last meeting had instructed Marshal
Fraley to hand in written report at
this meeting of all arrests he had made
while in office. The report was not at
hand nor was the marshal, and this of
itself was considered sufficient cause for
his removal.
Prather declared he had also had
some words with the marshal, because
he, Prather, had ordered Fraley to take
drunken woman off the walk in front
OF the jail.
Recorder Nickelsen was instructed to
notify Fraley Of his dismissal and to
notify him that report of his work
would be expected before the council
would feel like granting his salary.
When seen by Glacier reporter
Tuesday morning, Mr.. Fraley had not
yet learned OF his removal, and seemed
not at all disconnected when told that
the council had removed him from office.
He put forth no excuses, and only said
he thought the recorder was the proper
one to supply the council with a report
oil the arrests and disposal of them.
Three renewal of saloon licenses we're
granted at Monday nights council meet
ing, those of J. L. Morrison, @. Il. Hay
ward, and S. p. Fouts. The license of
5000 accompanied each request for re-
newal, as did properly signed bonds of
81 900 each. Mr.. Morrison had a peti-
tion of III voters, Mr.. Hayward, 1893
names and Mr.. Fouts l9l. There were
no negative votes, Councilman Mayes
refraining from voting.
communication was read from j. +.
Batchelder, manager OF the Country
Club Inn, saying he objected to the
city authorities passing through his
premises with patients TO the pest house.
The matter was left with the street com
mittee to see after the road to the pest
house.
Early for the special committee
reported that he had received word from
Holmes, representing Hopkins, the
man who owns the sand bar below town
through which the city wants right Of
way for sewer outlet, who says that
Hopkins is willing to let the city
run sewer through the land but
he objects to the city putting through a
street. Mr.. Early said Hopkins was
willing TO have the necessary papers
drawn up for the right OF way. Early
said he favored opening street through
the land, but II the majority of
the council were in favor OF
merely right Of way he was willing to
abide by their decision. The matter
was left with the committee.
Four bills we're then read by
the recorder, one from G. T. Early, who
advanced Marshal Fraley $3.50 to pay
Flynn for cleaning closet; another
rom the Light company for s5; one
rom Stuart's cafe for 1880 for meals
prisoners one from Graham
Rl60.S0, for hauling gravel.
The light bill was cut down to 81, as
he finance committee declared part OF
Z had already been paid and that lights
IN the bridge had not been furnished
'egularly
Stuart's bill was held over because
Marshal Fraley was not there to say
what had been done with the meals.
Graham's bill went over because he
rave no account OF where the gravel had
been hauled, part of the stipulation in
lis contract with the city.

shed a report OF his work to date, show.
ng him to have collected 1876 polls,

'een supplied him by Commissioner
1ibbard from the county. OF the 1868
