Removed-In the absence of Mayor
Register at Dickinson, E. G. Patterson,
mayor pro tenn this morning served
notice Of removal from office on City
Attorney E. S. Allen and Chief of
Police Ritchey. This is removal the
first for Mr.. Allen and removal the
second for Mr.. Ritchey. No appoint
ments in their places have been made.
The notices of removal we've issued
about ten o'clock this morning and
merely stated that it was done in the
interests of the city. These removals
will probably be made the occasion
for test of the ordinance recently
passed by the council over the veto
of the mayor, providing that an officer
who should enter upon his duties with
out confirmation of his appointment
by the council should be subject to
fine. 1t is also further provided that
after an appointee of the mayor, is re-
fused confirmation his name shall not
again be presented for term of six
months. On his return Mayor Regis
ter will no doubt reappoint the officers
removed today and it will be necessary
then to make test case to determine
the validity of the recent ordinance.
Wild Rumors Of Storm-Many and
CORY were the reports Of the storm at
st. Paul and Minneapolis that reached
this city Sunday morning. The first
reports received stated that cyclone
had wiped out the cities of St. Paul
and Minneapolis and that there were
$50 dead in the two cities. Later the
reports of the dead were reduced until
there were only hundred. The NOR
tality remained at a hundred all during
the afternoon, but was this morning
reduced to three. A number of bust
ness and travelling men whose head
quarters are in st. Paul and a number
of persons visiting in the city from
the twin cities were much worried
over the reports of the storm, particu-
larly because of the great reported loss
Of life. The train from the east that
left st. Paul little after the storm
broke was three hours late in reach
ing the city, due to the fact that all
wires were down and the train had to
wait some time at a station not far out
from st. Paul for train orders. All
wires being down it was impossible to
obtain any authentic details of the
storm at any time during the day.
