There was a general interchange OF
opinion among the commissioners after
Mr.. Lawler had read articles from the
Gazette in connection with the arrest
and trial OF the accused. All the COM
missioners were anxious to have the
charges Investigated at once some saying
that if the charges were substantiated
the accused should be dismissed from the
force; if innocent they should be so de-
clared.
Mayor Simpson gave resume OF the
Burnett Wrenn case, as well as the part
the different officers took in the matter.
Officer Smith was called in and he an-
swered certain queries propounded him
by the Mayor and commissioners. Mr..
Smith denied that there were factional
fights among members of the police
force, as stated by Mr.. Moncure, counsel
for Wrenn, during the trivl in the Cor
poration Court.
1t was finally decided to summon
witnesses and investigate the matter al
an adjourned meeting tonight.
During the meeting W. II. TraverS
appeared before the board and made
formal charges of assault against Lieu
tenant Smith. The assault took place
at the Old Dominion Glass Works on the
29th of last month, The case was Sc
for tonight.
Before adjournment Mr.. Lawler sale
he desired to call the attention of thu

siasm. and it was played with a fer
vor and dignity that gave it an adj
dcd cham. Mr.. Sousa and his band
entered heartily into the work and
gave it a finished production. An
other selection that showed the
gland ensemble of the band was
Macmillan RobeSpierre." or the
Last Days of the Reign of Terror,
based on the history OF the French
revolution. 1t is the greatest dra-
matte overture written and the pre-
s%entation Of it 10y Mr.. Sousa and his
band is of the highest character. 1t
introduces the MaIsellaise Hymn
with beautiful effect and the pom

The Body Of the Crime.

nc 6oOy OF tne Crim0s
Hour after hour. in the heat of the
day or the cool of the evening, the
giant Mexican strobe on by the side
Of the two horsemen, sometimes trot-
ting like dog, more often walking
with a shambling, wide-reaching step,
tireless as any wild animal. Express
sionless, mute, the colossal figure
strobe along, like some primordial
creature in whom a human soul had
not yet found home.
The Mexican was running the back
trail Of the horse of Cal Greathouse,
the missing ranchman, and 1t was
very early seen that the horse had
not returned over the route taken by
Greathouse when he started out. He
had gone along the valley of the
Smoky River. whereas the course Of
the loose animal had been along the
chord OF wide arc made by the val
ley of that stream, course much
shorter and easier to traverse, as 1t
evaded part Of that rough country
known as the breaks Of the Smoky,
a series of gullies and draws" rum
ming from the tableland down to the
deep little river bed. The afternoon
