Orville w. Coffman resigned as city
marshal of Pendleton last night and
his place is now being filled tempo
rarily by Jeff Stevens, who has been
serving as night officer for several
weeks.
To many the resignation of Marshal
Coffman came as a surprise, as moth
ing indicating the action had become
known until last evening. In resign
ing he said he did so because II was
the wish of the mayor, the councilmen
and large number of citizens. In
concluding he thanked the council
and the police committee for the
courteses accorded him during his
time in office. and declared he quit
with no feeling of i'll will toward any
one.
Evidently the resignation was ex-
pected by the council, for no surprise
was evinced by those present, and
Councilman Murphy of the police
committee Immediately moved the ac-
ceptance of the resignation. This
was seconded by Councilman McCorm-
mach and was carried unanimously.
JEFF Stevens Temporary Marshal.
II move that Jeff Stevens be em-
ployed as marshal temporarily until
the vacancy shall be filled" said
Councilman Swearingen, and the
motion was at once adopted.
Did Not Follow Instructions.
aff ta1 OF Of mt hi nc
been given as to why the resignation
of Mr.. Coffman was requested by the
council, members of that body show
no hesitancy I'm saying 1t was because
the police committee was dissatisfied
with the manner in which he carried
out recent instructions regarding the
prevention of gambling. Nearly a
week ago rigid orders were given by
the police committee that all gam
bling be prohibited within the city.
on Monday night the rooms over the
state saloon were raided and three
arrests made. However, It is said 90
arrests could have been made that
night instead of three, and the mar
shal's failure to make bigger haul
was evidently responsible for his
downfall. After the arrest of the
three II Is said the others took warn
ing. thus making further arrests i'm
possible.
New Fire Hose Bought.
A report was submitted by the fire
committee favoring the purchase OF
1900 feet of fire hose from the Pa
cific Rubber company. At the last
meeting of the council the bids for
hose had been referred to this COM
mittee. The report was adopted and
an ordinance ordered drawn making
the purchase.
Walter Howatt. representative or
the Bowers Rubber company, asked If
the hose was to be tested by the de-
partment, and he was assured by Fire
Chief Vaughan that such would be
done.
Liquor licenses were granted to
Paul Hemmelgarn and to Bogart Il
Keegan, and a report of the street
committee favoring the construction
OF a new sidewalk on portion of
College street, was accepted.
II. c. Riddell hot tamale man, re-
ouested the council to take some ac-
ton so as to again permit him to sell
his line inside the saloons of the city,
and suggested SO per month as a
fair license. The matter was referred
to the license committee.
A representative of the Warren
construction company was present
and addressed the council briefly re-
garding bitulithic paving. He was in
formed by Mayor Fee that the matter
of paving is in the hands of the street
committee, and was invited to meet
with that committee.

Few Orders Booked.
Some time ago the railroad COM
pany cut the rate from Rock Springs
to Laramie from SO to S1.50 per ton,
the coal dealers making a reduction
of $1.25 per ton to the consumers. An
effort was made then by many citizens
to fill their coal cellars, but the sup
ply was limited and there were few
large orders booked.
Good Supply on Hand.
Several carloads were received this
morning by the dealers, billed at the
prevailing price, and some orders were
booked during the afternoon by those
who knew of the coming addition to
the freight rate. One dealer said he
had orders ahead enough to consume
his present supply, another saying he
could fill any order. The receipt to-
day was large enough to preclude the
possibility of a famine for some time
to come.

MARKING THE BALLOT
FOR TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The laws Of Wyoming are very spe-
cific as to the manner of marking your
ballot, and as the result of the care
lessness of voter many cast their bal
lots for n nan when they believe
they are voting for another. In order
to vote a ticket straight, it is neces-
sary only to place a cross in the
square at the head of that ticket. But
If you desire to vote a ticket straight
with the exception of one or more
candidates, in addition to placing the
cross at the head of the ticket, you
must place a cross after the name OF
the candidate for whom you wish to
vote and then scratch out the name of
the man in the column at the head of
which you have placed the cross. II
this name is not scratched out the X
at the head of the ticket and not the
X after the name of the other candi-
date will determine for whom the hal
lot is to be counted.

HAD MORE SENSE

THAN STONE THOUGHT.
We fail to hear much more about
the Stone, Winslow & Hail irrigation
project, says the Riyerton News. They
are probably coming to the conclusion
that the settlers around here have a
little more sense than they at first
supposed. What the people want to
see is the bitches go in and go in
rapidly. They don't car to take
chances on the men who are at the
head of this wild goose project. Stone,
Winslow & Hall were going to do
great things with the townsite, but
that failed utterly. Now they are 60
ing to put in irrigation bitches with
no capital on which to do it. The
end will be similar to the end of the
townsite question. They are just try
ing to arouse a little sensation and get
a fee. People will see what their OBJ
iect is. and they won't stand for it at
all; thus the matter will end. Broth
ers Stone and Winslow had best re
turn to Nebraska. There they may
find some sympathisers; here they
have none. :
