The coroner's jury that inquired
into the cause of the death OF Field
Tarpley returned verdict charging
that he came to his death from a
gunshot wound inflicted by either
Chief of Police Flndley or onicer ].
o. Shaver and that the act was not

On the night of March, IA ca:s

COUNCIL GIVES ALL VOTERS CHANCE TO REGISTER
Mayor Harmer Wanted to Confne
Registration TO Two Days Only
and Recommended 1t.
IE TIME IS GIVEN
BY the Council Which Says Duties
of Assessor Are Prescribed by
Law and Not BY the Mayor

The special session OF the city
council Tuesday night was attended
by Councilmen McAndrew, Connell,
Anderson, Cork. Ernst, Hess, Nc
Reynolds, Smith and Wood. The
only absentee was DR.. g. w. Halter
man. The mayor presided.
The mayor. when he called the
council to order. told of the objects
of the meeting, referred to the fact
that the law provides for the registra-
ton of voters and suggested that
Monday and Tuesday. March 25 and
&c, be made registration days, and
that the assessor be allowed deputy
for each ward other than that in
which he resided.
Upon motion of Councilman Ernst
seconded by Councilman Wood the
resignation of W. P. Camp as as
SCISSOR was accepted.
Houston C. Young's name was pre-.
sented for assessor and he was elect
ed to the position.
A considerable discussion arose as
to what the assessor should do in
taking the registration. A motion
carried that he be authorized to en-
ploy five deputies to assist him in
making the registration, but the
proposition that three days Saturday,
Monday and Tuesday, March 90, rs
and 26, be set aside as registration
days lost, as it was the sense of the
council that the assessors duties
we're defined by law. Several of the
council we're of the opinion that the
registration might begin at once and
cover many days in order that all
might have a chance to register, in
stead of restricting it to two days as
was recommended by the mayor.
The city attorney suggested that
after the deputies and assessor had
taken the registration one day might
be fixed for them to sit to give any
that had been missed an opportunity
to register. The council did not ace
on this, it being advanced that the
assessor himself could do this, If he
found 1t necessary.
Council then adjourned.
! 1t is stated by members of coun-
ell that the mayor became very angry
after the session because the fegistra-
tion of voters was not restricted to
two days as suggested and proceeded
to speak his mind about his failure
to dictate to the assessor. He was
especially angry that the council did
not submit to his dlctation.
The council decided the duties of
the assessor were prescribed by law
and not by the mayor.

UNDER.

We are again at the post of duty after hibernating so long and be- ing resuscitated we feel quite zeal ous as spring is rapidly approaching I feel so delighted I can hardly re- frain from speaking about it. l think spring is the most lovely season of the year. I often think if it was one perpetual spring, this world would seem more like the good land we read about in the Bi- ble as everything seems so lovely. The singing birds, the bleating lambs, the cackling hens, the sprouting vegetation and the in- numerable bells in the valleys and on the mountain side all seem to speak out the voice of our loving Father. I believe spring with all it's splendor makes a real christian feel like this world is akin to Heav- en. I think this is a grand world anyway, and oh! 1t would be so lovely if everybody would be good. Pardon me, MT.
