we can release one man and calm
tbe whole business. Pugh is hot
headed, and has not a very good dis
position, but he is a fireman, and
there amt a ladder or escape he
won't go up" is the declaration of
Jack Darr, in his testimony before
the committee investigating the
trouble of the East Salem fire sta
ton.
Darr is the chief of the city's fire
department, and by reason of this his
opinion would ordinarily have weight
enough to be indorsed by the council,
but it is safe to predict that it will
not, and that when his testimony,
together with that Of other firemen,
Is presented to that body tonight it
will precipitate row.
The investigating committee this
forenoon had not formulated a re-
port Beyond submitting the testi-
mOny taken to the council, it will
probably make no report, not desir-
ing to assume the responsibility of
the trouble, by making any recon-
mendations as to what line of action
Is to be taken but leaving that to the
judgment of the council as a whole.
What Charges Were.
The charges preferred against
Captain Pugh, of the East Salem fire
station we're that he was over-bear-
Ing, domineering, ill-tempered and
unreliable, They were submitted to
the council in the way of petition
asking for an investigation, and il
was signed by the firemen Of the
station. 1t was asserted that the
subject had been taken up with the
hre and water committee and with
Chief Darr, but without securing any
relief
Plenty of Trouble.
The troubles of the fire boys, ae-
cOrding to the testimony, seems to
have commenced when Andy McFar-
land assumed the position of driver
Of the engine. The firemen charge
that Pugh, to make room for a broth.

aOle for Mcfarland, and that an i'll.

i became the subject of a good old
