on the promise that suit would not be
brought against c. W. Detwiler for
alleged misconduct in Office.
Thus was dragged into the open and
in concrete form rumors that have
been rife ever since the arrest of Barr
and OLeary Detwiler is mayor of
the city; he is also a member of the
school board. He Is senior member
of the firm Of Detwiler Bros, a hard
ware concern that has in the past sold
large quantities of materials both to
the city and to the school district At
torneys who have looked up the mat
ter point out that the law is clear that
no person or corporation can sell
goods through a board or council on
which a person or representative OF a
corporation sits and has vote.
Thus, it seems, if matters proceed
under the program as now arranged,
c. W. DetWiler is likely to be charged
IN court action with misconduct in
office. To this assumption is given ad-
d1tonal strength today by one high in
the confidence of Barr, who is at this
moment big figure in the faction that
Is opposed to everything bearing IAt-
Wller earmarks, that this same grand
jury will very likely take up this

all directions with subpoenaes, sum

some instances rousing men out of
their slumbers. Throughout Sunday
and during part Of Monday the work
continued and ever since Monday
morning the corridors of the court
house have been thronged with those
upon whom notices had been served,

greeting has come to be when one citi
