GAUTHIER CASE.

Recently Omar Gauthier, conducting
a saloon on Sth street pleaded guilty in
Municipal court to selling liquor to a
minor. The law makes it imperative
upon the city council in such a case to
revoke the saloon license. Mandamus,
a court writ commanding an officer to
perform particular duty enjoined up
on him, may issue to compel the coun-
Gil to act in the matter, as was recent
ly decided by our supreme court
The council was apparently loath to
take this drastic action because the
place has good reputation and the
proprietor'S otfense was due to mis-
take. Gauthier seems to have evaded
the issue by selling out but there has
been some rumors that the end is not
vet.

STILL MORE OF BOYNT0N.

An echo of the Prescott Boynton
case was heard last week when reports
reached the city that the supreme
court of Tennessee had handed down
an opinion deciding that the $4,000 in
government bonds in possession Of Mr..
Boynton in that state must be turned
over to his sister, Mrs. Hattenbaugh.
These bonds represent the money
entrusted to Boynton's care by his sis
ter. The situation has been prolific Of
legal proceedings, the sensational
feature of which was the aged Boyn-
tons arrest in Tennessee, and eXtradi-
tion upon "A charge of embezzlement

curities will now be forthcoming.

BLAZE AT DEPOT.

Originating in the toilet rooms Of
the G. & n. w. depot last Monday morn
ing a fire secured sufficient headway
before its discovery to threaten the
entire structure for a time. The fire
is supposed to have originated from an
overheated stove. The departments
efforts confined the blaze to the upper
part of the building, between the cell
ing and the slate roof, but did not
quench it until the telegraph wires
had been put out of commission and
the office and ladies room had been
flooded. 1t was hard blaze to control.
The loss h.ss been sstimated at $1,000
which is covered by insurance. a
force of carpenters, GLACIERS and cleo
tricians were put to work and the dam
age has been repaired.

CITY COUNCIL DOINGS.

The council, by vote of 10 to } dis
allowed claim of Capt. christensen
for damages sustained while driving
his motor car and caused, he alleges,
by defective street. The result will
probably be a damage suit against the
city.
Action upon the Rahr street vaca-
ton matter was deferred again, there
being prospect of an amicable adjust
ment between The Rahr Sons Co. and
VIM. Rahr, Sr.
The Mayor vetoed the action of the
council in accepting the slaughter
house of Frank Kautsky in payment
for $50 taxes and $50 rent, both owing
to the city, his honor alleging that the
slaughter house is worth about Sl5 at a
liberal estimate. A genuine PITT
Schmitz clash was quelled by the sound
of the gavel. and the veto was sustained
through Alderman Hempton's coming
in Just too late to vote.
Upon advice of the city attorney the
city will make no fight for the present
upon the phone rates. The city con-
tends that the rates in force April |,
1907, are prima facie reasonable. The
present rates cost the city about 1925
more than those did. The city attorney
SAYS that this surplus Will be refunded
under an agreement if the rates are
found to be Illegal and that this will
probably be determined in test case
soon in some other city.

The P0ST-0FFICE FIGHT.

Last week saw the beginning Of a
contest for the appointment to the To-
cal postmastership for the term begin
ming next June. 1t was precipitated
by newspaper items announcing the
reappointment of the present incum-
bent, II. G.. Kress, which items, the
postmaster says, were unauthorized
and premature.
Petitions asking for the appointment
of Berlin Hall have been circulated
and according to Mr. Halls workers
have been signed by surprisingly large
number of citizens. Mr. kresS in a
signed interview intimateS that the at
tempts to prevent his reappointment
will be fruitlesS because of his assur-
ance of the support of representative
Davidson and because Of the rule,
strictly enforced in late years to make
no changes except upon removals for
cause shown.
Next spring Mr.. Kress will have
| served three full terms, twelve years
The new aspirant has been prominent in
political activities the past few year,
as leader in the progressive Re
publican movement and is a busincs,
man of character and standing with 1
reputation as a man who docs things

VANISH SCHOOL CASE DECIDED.

In quite lengthy opinion rendered
last Tuesday Judge Chloupek decided
that School Clerk Vanish would not
be removed from Office for alleged fail
ure to perform his duties. The school
which is located in Cooperstown, has
two teachers, and following criticisms
of the school by the state superintend-
ent based upon a report of travelling
inspector, the director, who boards the
principal, desired to remove the as
sistant teacher, who boards at the
clerks. The latter naturally desired
to improve the school by releasing the
directors boarder. The director had
the other member of the board with
him, however, but the clerk refused to
make the proper entries in his min
utes showing the discharge of the assist
ant teacher and the action to oust him
from Office resulted. Much bitter feel
ing and tacLionalism has resulted in
the district which the Judge deplores
in his decision, also intimating that it
would not be calamity for the dis
trict if the board would permit some
one else to furnish Accommodations for
the teachers.
The court seems to be of the opinion,
which is quite general, that the war;
ing factions created a tempest in a tea
pot.
