deemed wise and expedient 10 adopt

New Mayor and Trustee.

The town council held special meet
ing Tuesday evening for the purpose of
acting upon the resignation of Mayor A.
E. Butler, and appointing new mayor.
As Mr.. Butler has taken up his residence
on the LaFever ranch, recently purchas
ed by K. j. MacCa,lum and himself, it
is not possible to give the necessary time
to town business, the resignation was
accepted, and c. E. Mosman. who was n
member of the council, was appointed
to fill the unexpired term.
The vacancy in the council made by
the promotion of Mr.. Mosman was filled
by the appointment OF j. G. Timbrel to
that position.
AT this meeting application of Tom
Don for saloon license was discussed
but no action was taken as the meeting
was special and not called for that pur-
pose. The matter will be brought up
for action at the regular meeting next
Tuesday evening.
