this morning aid declared he nj
tended to bring the matter up fh
council and have an investigation
This is the same old trouble
we had with Fuller. We hired
him to work for the city and paid
a big salary and were to have hfs
exclusive service. Now he goes
off and hires private office and
takes other work. We are PAYING
enough salary to get all his time
and / for one will not stand for
him anywhere but at the city

we can see whit is doing. We
don't know whether he Is working
for the city or for somebody else

Giblett.
Commissioner McGregor tried to
get out of 1t by saying the city
hall did not have enough room
and that Kelsey was devoting ali
his time to the city, but some of
his men say Kelsey is also taking

new CLERK FOR
TREASURER

The rsuh of work in the city
treasurer's office induced the
treasurer to call for an additional
clerk last week and the finance
comittee of the council this morn
ing agreed to give him the man at
salary of $50 a month. This
will make eight in the office now.
The increase in street paving
and assessment rolls to be loked
after is causing the present force
to get behind.

being swamped he says. The new
work Of supplying the names of
persons in improvement districts,
which was formerly done by the

bles Man Wanted for
Brutal Wilkeson
Murder

An italian answering the descrip-
tion of Camille Bertino, suspected
slayer of Mrs. George Brazo of
Wilkeson, was captured by pos
sc In the brush near Everett yes
terday morning. Deputy Sheriff
Doten received a telegram last
night telling him of the capture
nd will leave for Everett tomor-
row, accompanied by George Bron-
20, husband of the murdered wo-
man to identify the suspect.
The man captured, 1t Is said to
have acted suspiciously, sneaking
away into the brush when anyone
would approach. A posse was Or
ganized and he was surrounded.
He had about $50 in money, but
II is the opinion of the officers
that If he is the murderer, he
could easily have hidden the re-
mainder of the $500 taken from
Mrs. Bronco.
Additional evidence pointing
toward Bertino was given out by
Deputy Sheriff Doten today. Ber-
tino is said to have left suit case
In saloon at Wilkeson on the
night of the murder, saying that
he would return for 1t within an
hour, which he never did. Clothes
found in the suit case by Doten
were positively identified by Bron-
70 and the woman's brother as be-
longing to Bertino.
The undershirt from which the
bloodhounds were given their
scent, was one of the articles iden-
titled. A milk woman also told
the deputy sheriff that she had
seen Bertino at Wilkeson on the
evening before the murder took
place.

CounciIman's 'sMessenger
Company and Western
Union Both Fail to
Pay Percentage
of Earnings

Councilman John M. Bell,
through his Postal Telegraph mes
senger service franchise, and the
Western Union messenger service.
have both been cheating the city
out of its share of their receipts
according to Information given to
the finance committee of the
council this morning.
Both franchises provide they
must pay percentage of their
gross earnings to the city. City
Treasurer Freeland said this
morning as far as he is aware
neigther has ever paid cent to
the city.
The franchises have been oper-
ative for nearly Is years, SO there
is evidently bill of several thou
sands of dollars due the city by
this time.
Chairman Rankin of the fin
ance committee has been 'nvesti-
eating and he brought the matter
up this morning. On his recon-
|mendation action was taken to
start a movement for collecting
the percentage and the treasurer
was ardered to make a demand
for payment ON both companies.
The committee also discovered
that the city has the right to
amend the franchises of the
Postal and Western Union tele-
graph and other fire alarm and
telegraph companies to require
the payment of a percentage or
the receipts and it is likely the
franchises will be remodeled to
provide for this later.
