BOYD DOWN

The councilmen did box Mayor
meeting yesterday afternoon. After
the boxing process the councilmen
voted to abandon the Seattle trip and
annul the mayors appointments of
delegates to the meeting. Then the
! mayor grew real angry and declared
he would go himself at his own ex-

selected councilmen and Floyd Dag
