CHIEF OF POLICE ]. w,
COVERS DISMISSED
BY MAYOR
Charges Of Misconduct Filed By Chronicle Ed
itor Result in His Removal After Stormy
Session With City Council---City Attorney
on Warpath- Challenges Mayors Authority

]. w. Covers has been dis
charged as chief of police, his re-
signation being handedin atthe re-
quest of Mayor Reed last Tues
day.
This action was the result Of a
stormy session of the council Mon
day night when charges were
made againat the chief by the
Chronicle editor, who charged
that Covers assisted in an assault
upon him last Saturday. The
charges were backed up by sew
eral afidavits of reputable citi-
zens who saw the affray and Atty.
r. M. Andrews appeared before
the board representing Mr.. Brin-
ton. Mr.. Andrews asked permis-
sion to address the mayor and
aldermen and such permission
was granted, but Mr.. Andrews
had no sooner commenced talking
when he was interrupted by City
Attorney Gallagher. Andrews re-
minded the city attorney that he
had the floor to which Gallagher
replied. Il don't care whether you
have the floor or not, I'm going
to talk" At this point Brinton
Informed the council that if per-
mission to talk was not necessary
he had few remarks to make and
proceeded to enter into the talk
feast, while about so protesting
citizens commenced to crowd in
to the room. Mayor Reed then
requested all present To- Withdraw
as the council wished to go into
executive session, and as Attorney
Andrews withdrew the city attor-
ney reminded him in a very en-
phatic manner that he wished it
understood that he (Gallagher)
was the advisor of the board.
Prior to going into executive
session Mayor Reed asked if Cow
ers had handed in his resignation
and when informed by the auditor
that he had not. the mayor recon-
mended that the council by resolu-
ton should ask for it, whereupon
Alderman Hughes made such a
motion. But it did not receive a
second and was lost for want of
support. 1t was at this point that
Andrews secured the floor and de-
clared the dismissal Of a chief Of
police was not matter for the
council to consider but that the
law gave that power to the mayor
to discharge any city official ap-
pointed by him without the per-
mission of the city council. City
Attorney Gallagher interrupted
here and declared that a mayor
had no such authority and that
Covers could not be removed
without complaint being filed in
legal form and the chief given an
opportunity to hearing.
During the executive session
Covers was defended at length
by Gallagher, his declarations be-
ing heard on the street outside.
He accused those who protested
against Covers as disreputable
persons who should be given no
standing and impressed upon the
and alderman that the pow
er Of dismissal did not belong to
the mayor. He being the city's
legal advisor the board laid the
matter on the table and then
opened the doors and took up
other matters. Andrews Withdrew
and went home. but the crowd
remained and wanted further ex-
planation. ]. r. Waters. Brinton
and others asked the mayor as to
the result of their findings and the
mayor replied that he was power

Free Speech: A Precious Right

Ii is high time for the Iberty-loving

the city attorney. When the meet
ing adjourned Mayor Reed called
Messrs. Brinton and Lloyd into
consultation and again stated that
he was acting on the advice of the
city attorney. that he wanted to
dismiss the chief of police and
would do 50 if it could be shown
that he had the authority. During
the consultation the mayor agreed
to remove Covers the following
day if the city attorney was wrong.
whereupon Brinton volunteered to
produce authority outside of the
city for such action and after the
mayor had given his word to both
Messrs Lloyd and Brinton that he
was sincere in the matter, the citi-
zens withdrew and Mayor Reed
went home, the aldermen having
left Immediately following the ad-
journment.
The protesting citizens then
went to the depot and wired the
following message to the attorney
general and the city attorney at
Dickinson:
Has mayor in North Dakota the
power to suspend chief of police tenn
porarily when charges are made against
him for misconducta Can he suspend
him permanently if charges are sus-
taineda Answer at once collect"
The message was signed by
Brinton and ten or twelve other
citizens as committee.
The following morning The
committee received the following
answer from the city attorney at
Dickinson:
The statutes of North Dakota pro-
vide that the mayor shall have power
to remove any officer appointed by him
whenever he shall be Of the opinion
that the interests of the city demand
such removal, but he shall report the
reasons for such removal to the coun-
Gil at its regular meeting. The mayor
has absolute right to remove a police
officer either temporarily or perman-
emily in his discretion, being required
of course to give reasons for such re-
moval to the city council"
The attorney general replied as
follows:
See section 2649 Code l905.''
The above section reads az fol-
lows:
POWER OF REMOVAL.
The mayor shall have power to re-
move any officer appointed by him,
whenever he shall be of the opinion
that the interests Of the city demand
such removal: but he shall report the
reasons for such removal to the coun-
Gil at its regular meeting.
Armed with this material, Brin-
ton, Lloyd and Waters called up
on Mayor Reed Tuesday after
noon and showed to him where
he and the city council had been
misinformed by the city attorney
and demanded Covers immediate
removal. Mayor Reed said he
would attend to the matter that
afternoon and informed the COM
mittee that if they saw Covers on
the street to inform him that the
mayor wished to see him.
The chief Of police was inform
ed and when he called on the
mayor, it was given out that he
had resigned. the mayor allowing
him this courtesy.
The charge made against Cow
ers by Brinton which brought
about his removal, were that he
had assisted in and allowed an as
sault to be made upon him (Brin-
ton) that on account Of such mis-
conduct. negligence and un6tness

San Simon Valley Presents Opportunity for Import ant Agricultural Develop ment With Good Soil and Fine Climate

The passage of Mir. Graham's bill in the house relative to the proposed experimental artesian well in the Sulphur Springs valley directs atten- tiOn particularly to the kingdom of Cochise. COchise county is known as one of the counties that have d large acreage of land that would be among the most fertile in the state were it possible to obtain water in sufficent quantity for agricultural purposes. However, the Sulphur Springs valley is not the only beau tiful valley in COchise that can be made to blossom with the beauty and verdure of the agricultural districts in the state that are possibly better sit
 uated with regard to their water sup ply. There is the San Simon valley of that county that is also a most delightful section with agricultural possibility and in which quite d lot of dry farming is now being done. The valley is now divided in two portions

commission recently submitted to the legislature. That report says:
 Lower San Simon VaiIey

Lower San Simon Valley.
 From SolomOnville, where San simon creek empties into the GiIa, south to the Cochise county line, a distance of twenty-six miles, lies the Lower san Simon Valley, skrted on either side by broken mesas, ascend ing into the foothills of the Graham on the west and the FeIoncillo range on the east. Ab- sence of a water supply has up to the present time precuded farming in this section, though the land gives every evidence of fertility. Efforts are now being made, how ever. to develop water by means of wells, and hope is entertained that an artesian flow may be struck. To this end deep wells are being sunk, and although, so far as known, the attempt to develop artesian water has not proved successful, at several points water has risen so close to the surface, from a depth of several hundred feet, that economical pump ing is believed to be possible.
 San Simon Valley Of Cochise County.
 Along the San simon creek bed or wash. in the northeastern part of Cochise county, close to the line of New Mexico. q large number of first-class artesian wells have been brought in, and practically the entire district has been located, either by homeseekers or speculatOrs. The soil is good, and important agricultural development may be expected. little to the west toward and sur rounding the town of Bowie, and along the northern and eastern foot hills of the Dos Cabezas range, dry farming is being successfully prac- ticed, though as yet to limited extent In this immediate section an average annual rainfall of very near fifteen inches, supplemented by the flood waters which come from the mountains and spread out over many miles of level country, creates an exceedingly favorable condition for farming without artificial irrigation A peculiarly retentive soil gives add ed assurance that the farmers who have located n this section will be rewarded for their pioneering eXer tiOns.
 Tn the Dos Cabezas foothills and gulches, deciduous fruits of good quality are being grown in quantity sufficient to demonstrate its practic- ability. and it is beloved that the surrounding country is admirably adapted for fruit culture.
 This neighborhood presents op- portunity for valuable selections by the state. which will be set forth at once in the shape of recommenda- tions by this commission. the tracts available for selection having been already examined"

"Hundred Years of Mormonisn."

"Hundred Years Of Mornno nIsnn."
 4 small but greatly interested crowd viewed the history of MormOnism as presented in moving pictures last night at the Elks theater The representa- tion was well worth seeing. The pie lures were excellent in themselves, and the story of the life of Joseph Smith the struggles and prosecutions of the early church, the journey across the desert to the Promised Land formed as graphic a drama as could be imagined
 This is an unbiased account of the rise of MormOnism. For its prepara tion. the authorities of the church gave all the help possible. The part of Brigham Young is taken by a grandson of that dignitary, said to closely re- semble his eminent grandfather. Views of the city of Salt Lake including fine one of the great temple. finish the performance. A synopsis of the history of the church and an explanation of the scenes given as they proceed add to the interest. It is a show worthy of a barge patronage.
