Friday Morning.
At a meeting of the Fire and Police COM
mission last night it was decided to hear
the charges filed against Robert w. Jones,
chief Of the fire department by o. p. Nc
Kesson on Friday morning at o'clock.
In the event of the charges being proven
and his dismissal from the department
the commission would be called upon to
appoint his successor. The appointment of
former Chief c. NJ. Nicholson as head of
the fire department recently by the COM
mission was declared null and void by
Judge Wheeler of the district court who
held that until he was removed Jones was
chief of the department.
While 1t is expected that the commission
viii appoint Nicholson. none of the COM
missloners will admit that such is their
intention. There has been more or less
talk that under civil service rules Nicholson
cannot be elected for the reason that he
is above the age limit, which is said to be

Bondsman Has His Troubles.
Since Alexander Dobson, proprietor OF
the Metropolitan hotel of this city, went
bondsman for B. B. Davis indicted in
Audubon county on charges in connection
with an alleged fraudulent land DEAL he
has attempted to surrender Davis, but
without avail. He made the third attempt
yesterday morning but 1t was again a
failure.
Davis, when he made the land deal COM
planned OF, was a guest at the Metropolitan
hotel and gained the confidence and SYM
pathy of Landlord Dobson, who furnished
Davis bond for his appearance for trial
in Audubon county. Shortly after Dobson
claimed that Davis had been drinking and
he surrendered Davis to the Audubon
authorities Davis succeeded. however. IN
patching up matters and Dobson remained
on his bond. second time this happened
and for the second time Davis succeeded
in pacifying Dobson.
Yesterday morning Dobson appeared with
Davis at Sheriff Canning's office and de-
clared he desired to surrender Davis.
Sheriff Canning declined to act, 1t not
being in his province as the bond was
furnished in Audubon county. While Dob
son was arguing the matter Davis slipped
out of the back door. When Dobson dis
covered Davis had given him the slip he
started out in pursuit and overtaking him
escorted him to the railway depot with the
intention of accompanying him to Audubon
the trial having been set for yesterday
In the meantime Davis friends had not
been idle and had filed an information
before Justice Greene charging Dobson
with assault and battery on Davis When
Dobson reached the depot with Davis Con-
stable Maltby placed Dobson under arrest
and the latter was taken before Justice
Greene, who promptly released him on
his own recognizance, Davis however
in the meantime had flown the coop, Sc
to speak, and Dobson, mindful of the
fact that he had been subponaed to appear
in court that day in Audubon took the
next train for that town. Davis, it was
stated by his attorney last night. intended
to make his appearance in Audubon today

Mayor Macrae expressed himself as well
satisfied with the schedule and evidenced
this by losing no time in attaching bis Of

yesterday while It is we'll known that l

still am so today, provided 1t could be ac-

the new schedule adopted by the city coun-
ell last night is both fair to the consumer
and to the water works company. The
water works company is properly entitled
to a certain revenue and / believe under
this schedule 1t will be able TO obtain it.
The man who heretofore has been get
ting his water for n mere nothing may
under this schedule have to pay more, but
II will not be more than what is reason

taking advantage of this privilege should
be willing to pay his proportion.
