After the reins of government had been turned over to Mayor W. G. Bellenger and his board, the aldermen busted themselves with the selection of the miner officers.
 The city clerk and chief of police had been selected by the people and these were merely indorsed by the council by a ratification of the action of the people at the polls. Tn the matter of selecting the police, which was next taken up, there was some considerable friction as there was movement to oust several of the old officers who had been especially ac- tive in enforcing the laws. A certain element in the city was determined to get them off the force and had some support from a part of the council. Happily, how

Boys Put on Probation

At the recorders court yesterday Judge Sugg had before him a little white boy about years old named John Keel, and two little negro boys about the same age, who were charged with robbing the safe of Conterurupas Bros, fruit dealers at Pratt City. It was alleged that the boys climbed In through the back window of the store and grabbed a handful of money out of the safe and got away. The police were notified and Officers Gal lups and Philips located the boys and placed them under arrest. They had spent about half of the amount taken. Owing to the extreme youth of the de- fendants, Judge Sugg put them on proba- ton. He said that if the parents would punish the children and pay back the money taken he would dismiss the case. The conditions were complied with and the children released.
