INCIDENT Is CLOSED.
Council Files Report of Chief ON Police
CAPTAIN.

Captain
The charge that Police Captain W.
H. Taylor had exceeded his authority
in entering the home of a reputable
citizen and arresting a number of
young men who were playing cards. the
communications and discussions which
attended the consideration of the
charges made in the City Council be-
came a close dincident with last nights
meeting of the Council.
The report of Police Chief Adolph
Gerald sustaining the act of Captain
Taylor was received and filed by the
Council. 1t has been before the Coun-
Gil for over a month. and 1t was ex-
pected that a rather lively discussion
would be the close of this famous In
cident of municipal history. The Incl
dent ended, however, without heat or
discussion.
Alderman Lobman who had made the
charges against Captain Taylor said
that he had nothing to say upon the
report of the Chief of Police and the
aldermen who had held up the report
out of courtesy to him, then received
and filed it, which means that 1t went
into the record Of the Council and will
not appear again on the surface.
Upon the receipt of a letter from ALI
derman Lobman charging that Captain
Taylor had exceeded his authority and
had invaded the home of a reputable
citizen without just cause the Coun-
ell appointed a special committee to
investigate the matter. After an in
vestigation this committee recommend
ed that the whole question should be
referred to the Chief of Police. At
subsequent meeting OF the Council the
chief submitted a report reciting the
incidents connected with the arrest,
saying that the fact that the young
men were engaged in a game of chance
had been reported to Captain Taylor.
and that he had gone to the house,
finding the information true. He had
then, without the use of any force. en-
tered the house and arrested the young
men. The chief quoted sections of the
City Code to show that the police were
authorized to enter a home or any 9TH
er place where the law was being vio-
lated. Acting upon these provisions of
tie City Code the police captain had
entered the home and effected the ar
rests. The chief held that he had act
ed within the law.
The communication again came up
before the Council last night unter the
head of unfinished business. A motion
was made to receive and file the re-
port.
Alderman Sullivan suggested that
perhaps Alderman Lobman had some
remarks he desired to make upon the
| subject.

Word was received here last Sun
day of the death of Mrs. G. N.
Lawton, which occurred at her
home IN South Bend, Ind, Satur-
day morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Law
ton we're prominent citizens Of Scot
land for many years, Most of the
time they resided IN town while
Mr.. Lawton operated a large stock
ranch On the jim river. After sell
ing his farm to the Mennonites sew
eral years ago they moved to their
former home at South Bend, and
have spent the time since at that
place and on the Pacific coast.
Their trip to the coast last winter
was abandoned on account of the
failing health of Mrs. Lawton, her
trouble finally developing into can
Ger. An operation was performed
a short time ago for the removal
of the cancer, but she was unable
to rally from tile shock and lived
but a few weeks after the opera
ton. Mrs. Lawton was universal
" respected and was prominent in
social circles and in the Eastern
Star, the Augusta chapter at this
place being named after her. Dur
ing her long residence here she ac-
Quired the warm friendship of
many Scotland people who will
deeply regret her death, and Will
extend their sympathy to the be-
reaved husband and daughter, who
are now the only surviving mem
bers of the family.
