battles against vice were more or less

impression that the public officials
We're net doing their duty. Having
been appointed to Office by the admin
istration, Hutton is regarded as haN-
ing been unfair in making political en-
terprise to place it in bad odor before
the public.
MAYORS LANGUAGE STRONG.
The Mayor does not mince words in
his reason for removing Hutton, but
cites specific instances of the latter's
indiscretions with women. Hutton's
name in the notice is coupled princi-
pally with that of Viola Keeler, who
lives at the st. Andre House, at 1890
Pine street. The notice of removal con-
tinues
Some weeks ago information was officially
brought before me, and charges were made.
making certain official declarations ostensibly
in the interest of the good morals of the
community, Police Commissioner Hutton was
actuated by private malice and personal in
terest and not by sincere desire for bet
termcnt of the city's moral condition. That
he was himself personally a most immoral
man. That he was in the habit of visiting
dsordery houses with female companions of
more or less reputability, and that he was
in the habit of accepting hospitality and OF
drinking wine at these places without paying
therefor.
times and places of occurrence submitted
to me at the time, but preferring to satisfy
myself absolutely of the truth of these heinous
charges before taking any action l merely
stated that l would consider the matter
further. Since then. without any reference
whatever the original sources of nforma-
ton, and on evidence independent of and =
connected Herewith. the facts then stated
have not only been confirmed in their
tirety, but have been intensified. and l now
have no hesitancy whatever in revoking the
commission of H. w. Hutton and removing
him from office, with the most profound
gret that / should have been misled into
appointing as a conservator of the public NOR
ais of this city who is thoroughly un-
worthy.
The Mayors notice further charges

Viola Keeler began when she was only

An effort is being made by
Attorney Gray fromK Kenmare and
Attorney Winemanr from Grand
Forks, to oust Commissioners
Black, Carroll and Richardson
; from office. Twenty-six charges
have been preferred against the
three commissioners and the
matter will be taken up before
Judge Goss Thursday morning.
The charges are very comprehen-
sive giving dates of ofirregularities
and a lot Of interesting details.
States Attorney McGee who ne
) elected to bring any action
against the three commissioners,
created a little surprise today
when he demanded that he pro-
secute the case. Mr.. McGee's
strange actions can hardly be
: believed, and many believe that
he is not sincere in his desire to
prosecute the men who have
played into his hama at every
stage OF the game. It might
mean that j. H. Greene, the as
sistant states attorney would
become the prosecutor and
everyone knows that Greene and
the commissioners are bosom
friends.
Mr.. Wineman is here now The
citizens OF Minot are greatly in
terested in the affair, many con-
tributing to the fund to pay the
attorneys to rid the countyfrom
the oppression. The Indepen-
dent learns that a large sum Of
money has been raised for this
purpose.
Many believe that it will be a
comparatively easy manner to
cause a vacancy in the offices OF
the three above named commiss-
toner's and in that case the county
, auditor, the county Judge and
the remaining commissioners
. would have the power OF filing
those vacancies. Judge Goss
will set time for the hearing OF
the commissioners, sometime not
, sooner than five days or longer
than twenty days.
LATER: McGee will prosecute
the case, and he has agreed to
allow Attys. Wineman and Gray
assist in the prosecution. The
case will come up the latter part
OF January and beforela Jury. A
copy Of the charges has been for
: warded to thecommissioners and
today they will no doubt keep
. busy reading it. Will McGee do
his best in the case? Ifnot Atty's
Wineman and Gray state that
they will leave nostone unturned
to remove him from the case al
together.

day, by o. N. Chaffee Of Detroit, who

White Star liner Cretic. Mr.. Chaffee did
not declare the instrument, which was
wrapped in underclothes. He said that
he had bought it for $50. The Government
appraisers, who are not expert vioinists,
but who, through long experience, can
tell real violin from common fiddle,
decided that they ought to get an opinion
of experts on the value of Chaffee's violin.
and they seized it and sent it to the Pubic
Stores. Mr.. ChafIee admitted that the
violin was worth much more than $50.
One of the appraisers ventured the opinion
that it might be worth $500. or more, If
it were real Stainer. 1t will be deter
