CIVIL GUARDIANS
Try COL. DERBY
CHARGE 0UTfALL OFFICIAL
WITH NEGLECT
City Employe Makes Accusations, Tcs-
timony Is Heard and the Case
Is Taken Under ADJ
Vsement

Col Charles Dc J, superintendent of
the outfall sewer was tried yesterday
before the civil service commission on
charges of incompetency, dishonesty
and bribery preferred by Nicholas But
terfeld, and the commission took the
charges under advisement.
Butterfield complained that only two
of the dozen witnesses ne had asked for
had come, but at the suggestion of the
commission the case went on with these.
Col. Derby had no witnesses, and re
fused to take Butterfeld seriously.
The trouble grows out of the distri5u-
tion of sewage from the outfall sewer
to ranchers in Inglewood and in the ter
ritory above. The city has made quite
a bit of revenue from this source and
helped Americans and Chinese in rails
ing big crops
Butterfelds charges, boiled down, are
that Col. Derby charged $40 for fixing Il
pipe on one rancher's place that shouiu
have been kept in repair free of charge;
that the farmers never got the amount
of water they asked for, though paying
for the amount ordered invariably, and
that dissatisfaction against the city
sewage district was general, though it
a once ceased as soon as Derby left
that branch of the service and Messrs.
Tnden and Briggs successfully sue
ceeded him.
The examinations We're conducted 1l
ternately by Commissioners Young and
McCutcheon, both Of whom are attOr-
neys, and consumed two hours.
Butterfield works in the street de-
partment and says his charges are rot
prompted by spite. He says delega
tions of ranchers have appeared at the
city hall, but their complaints were not
always listened to-
superintendent Derby. the accused,
made lengthy statement to the board,
enying all the charges made.

of red shot into the air from the roof
garden and for three-quarters of an
hour the fire works illuminated that
section of the city. One of lie features
of the display was a picture of the hotel
corridor executed in fireworks. At the
conclusion of the program of fireworks
the promenade concer. began and the

attendants and DIR. f. f. Patten, 2O34
East Third street, was called. He was
unable to revive the dying man and
DR.. Gleaves was sent for, but DR..
Burner was dead before he arrived.
Although at the time of the death
there were strong indications of sui
eide the doctors friends and the en-
ployes Of the sanitarium insisted that
his death was from natural causes.
Later their views were substantiated
by the report Of the coroner's physi-
clan.
In the raking over of the doctors
affairs which followed his sudden
death several old charges against him
were reopened, among them being that
he was a deserter from the Union army
in the civil war, and it is said that
this charge was included in those
being prepared by the medical board.
Relatives and friends of the doctor

certificate of honorable discharge.

1899. He claimed to have sbeen or
dained a minister in the Quaker church

college in Cincinnati. He entered the

twice married. His first wife was di-
vorced twenty-five years ago and he
was married the second time in San

tained an interlocutory decree of di-
vorce last September
The sanitarium was closed yesterday
after the doctors death
and will not be reopened. Attorney
Kemp, Doctor Burners attorney, said
that his assets would largely exceed
his indebtedness and that he could not
possibly have been led to suicide by

Stuffed Dog etarts Trouble

The appearance of a dog in a hotel
corridor is usually the signal for an
argument between prospective guest
and hotel clerks, and many funny
stories are inspired by these CANNES.

day night a distinguished looking New
Yorker walked into the hotel accom-

small boys nurse and a va,et. The
little 4-year- man, who was by far
the most important person in the party,
must have been a twin brother to Bus
ter Brown, for he wa the exact coun-
terpart of that little mischief king of
the funny page
He was holding tightly to the hand of
his mamma and the nurse hugging a
dog under her arm brought up the rear.
Mr.. Sibbald spied them the minute
he opened the door and IS he made a
mental calculation to see how many
rooms they would -equire, his eye fell
upon the nurse and likewis, the dog.
we can stand for Buster, but we
can't for Tige,' said Mr.. Sibbald to in
formation Clerk Johnson, and with that
ne rang for the porter.
Please divorce that canine rom its
fond nurse and take il to the baggage
room" he commanded the porter and
he walked away to do as e was told.
THE dog, Miss, l must he said to
the young woman nd then he stopped
short, blushed, stammered and tried
to explain. The nurse pulled the pet
out from under her arm and held it at
arms length that all might see. 1t

Mr.. Sibbald faded into obscurity and
had it not been for the fact that they
were live ones" 7 doubt If he could
have gotten courage ol.)ugh to come
back. Al. day yesterday the people
who witnessed the episode, and there
was no small number of them in the
lobby, piled him with questions about
the state of Tige's health, and Tige
