 REPORTED RESIGNATION -I - was reported yesterday that Wayn
 Davis had rendered his resignation [,
 Lieutenant Wheeler of the range
 force, just before that officer left fo
 the south Tuesday evening. The re
 port is probably well founded for MI
 Davis has been talking for some tim
 of quitting the service. However. m
 record of his resignation had reache
 the governors office yesterday. Ther has been considerable unreliable in
 formation placed in circulation latel J regarding the case of MT. Davis.
 has been stated that he was trying t resign and that his superior officer
 have been trying to keep him from do I ing so. a publication to that effeC
 having been made in an evening paper
 MT. Wheeler and MT. Davis both de ny any previous knowledge of tha AI publication and were both irritated b B it. It was also rumored that NJ Davis resignation had been asked fo
 by reason of personal altercation h had on the street the other day Tha
 is also untrue. The facts were locke
 into and it was deemed that MT. Davi
 had acted well within his rights O
 that occasion though had he bee
 more careful previously he might hay f avoided the ill feeling of which tn l collision was the OutgrOWth. The onl , fact which has any bearing on his re | ported resignation is that he desires { a | attend to private business here tha e will consume more time than his leav
 of absence from his post in the mort
 permits him and according to repor he has rendered his resignation ratht
 than hasten his return to his dutie if There is no occasion for his discharg
 and there is no shortage of applicant
 to succeed him. It is therefore a we
 defined case of MT. Davis and his sI i periOrS acting as they deem best f, !, the good of the service and their ow 1. convenience.
