 the Steel City

The resignation of Capt. M. J. Donlan has been the source of much comment among the citizens of Ensley yesterday According to reports, Captain Donlan was promised a raise in salary when times were better, and several days ago Captain Donlan took this matter up with Commissioner Barber, who stated he was unable to recommend the increase with out having to raise all of the captains in the police department. It is stated that Captain Donlan has more territory to handle than any other captain in the police department,\and is practically chief Of the Ensley district. His territory in- cludes Ensley, Wylam, Pratt City, Fair view, Thomas and East Thomas, Drift Track, Central Park, Shadyside Fairfield and all of the negro quarters in this vicinity. During the six years of serv- ice as head of the Ensley precinct he has handled the department with the utmost efficiency and has won the regard of the citizens of this district
 When the announcement of his resigna- tion came out in Saturdays Age-Herald, the citizens of Ensley were very much surprised, and several of the leading business men called up Commissioner Barber yesterday in regards to the resig- nation, but were unable to get much in formation out of him other than this was Captain Donlan's second resignation, and that they were unable to grant raise. The citizens do not believe that the com missioners have given Captain Donlan a square deal in the matter.
 According to the report, Sergeant P. A. Cochran is slated to take Captain Don lan's place when his resignation goes into effect May 1. Sergeant Cochran has been on the Ensley force for 12 years, and is a very capable officer, and has large number of friends in this district.

CAPTAIN |. Y. PATCH
IS FIRST CHOSEN
AS REG|MENTAL OFFICER Of
THE DAY At NOGALES,
ARIZONA.

The Capital News correspondent
with the Second Idaho Infantry at
Nogales, Ariz., has this to say of
Payette's popular citizen, who is
Captain Of Company NJ, of Emmett:
Captain Patch of Company M, had
the honor of being the first officer
of the day of Nogales drawn from
the Idaho regiment. The general COM
mand of the guard forces in the town
of Nogales is a responsibility of more
than usual Importance. 1t is here
in the close touch of all classes OF
Americans and Mexicans-where they
are jumbled together on the streets
and the rather irresponsible elements
of both nationalities come in direct
contact under most favorable circum-
stances for trouble that the acute
ianger zone exists.
Hence to control the situation
sometimes requires a vast amount of
tact and always full measure Of
firmness and cool judgment.
Mentioning Captain Patch reminds
me that 1 suggested the possibility
of leave of absence that he might
look after his candidacy for lieuten-
ant governor over home:
NO." he replied, my name, of
course,is before the people of Idaho
for that place on the Republican tic
ket but my political fortunes are
entirely in the hands of the voters
of Idaho. Most every one in the state
knows of my announcement for lieu
tenant governor and that will have
to suffice so far as campaigning goes
While there is need for me here on
the border I feel that 1t would be
putting my ambition above what
seems to me the simple duty Of
every American-the protection Of
his country-if l were to leave my
post and return to Idaho to partici-
pate in the primary election"
NO." Captain Patch concluded, 'ft's
al up to the friends at home and
plugging his old briar with Velvet
Joe's delight" the captain drifted
along down Company Ms street to
see if the boys had gotten their bed
ding dried out and comfortable after
the big rain.

pany may fully equip themselves at
a very reasonable personal expense.

ager of the Mountain States Tele-
phone Company at this place, is
