MINTON RAPED HARD
BY CHIEF OF POLICE
FOR ACTIVITY IN CASE
Chief Says Councilman Tries
to Instigate Suit Against
City Himself.
THEN HoLLERS' ABOUT 1T
City Reimbursed Fully for Taking Care
Of State Prisoners, and There Is
No Need of Rumpus,

Taking bitter exception to the re-
marks made by Councilman Minton on
the floor of the council last night in
regard to the two escaped girls from
the industrial training school, who rave
been held in the city Jail pending the
arrival of the authorities from Port
lana, Chier of Police Shedek gave his
opinion of the matter this morning in
no uncertain terms, and what will be
an official fracas that will lay all for
mer ones in the shade is looming up
large at the city hall.
In other words, Chief Shedek' IS anger
is aroused, and thoroughly aroused at
that, and he openly stated to repre-
sentative of The journal this morning
that Councilman Minton can t kick him
around any more.
Minton Investigates Law Suit,
What brought forth the chiefs yer
bal lambasting of the councilman Of
the Fifth ward was what the lattei
said in regard to probable law suit
which might be brought against thu
city as the result of the chief of police
holding the two girls without the propei
authority.
"Minton declares in public that tn,
city may be sued for keeping thes
girls in Jail for a short time, but VIII
is starting this law suit9" asked Chic
of Police Shedek this morning "Min
ton 'hollers' about the peaple becoming
tired of keeping state charges in tn
city Jail at the city's expense, H
knows better than that. The stat
doesn't ask us to keep their charge
for nothing We detain a charge 70
the state and the state pays the bill
in full every time.
Tells Girls It's Free.
"Now, about this law suit whic
Minton is crying over Who will star
this suit if it is not Minton himself
lie talks about saving money for tn
taxpayers and I can prove that he wa
the first one to encourage law SUI
in this case. just as soon as he foun
out we had these girls in Jail, MintO
rushed over to the city hall and d
manded to see the charges. Mrs. Lyme
opened the Jail door and Minton, cal
ing the women to him asked them
they wanted lawyer. One of II
girls asked how much it would cost al
y Minton answered that it would not co
% them penny; that he would see
that part of it. The girl then said 81
y would accept the services Of an ATTIC
ney and Minton then got Attorn,
a Trindle over to the Jail in short ordt
Trindle Acts as Counsel

with the girls and at his own requt
the hearing on the charge Of vagran
