It had hit us at last; not decent
request, mind you, but blunt, brutal
demand. The boss was fired. No
word had come from Mr.. Chadwick.
and there could be but one reason for
his silence. In some way, perhaps
through the late boosting of the stock,
the New Yorkers had squeezed him
out. We were shot dead In the trenches.
l didn't understand how the chief
could take It so quietly, unless 1t was
because he had been hammered so
long and so hard that nothing mat

Donohue cut In and we all heard

ding high for an engine to chase the

At first the boss said, "No," short
off, just like that; adding that 1t
wouldn't be keeping faith with the
strike committee. But at that moment
Hoskins blew in again, and when he
was told what was on the cards, he
took little responsibility of his own.
"Go to 1t, Mister Norcross, If there's

APPROVE PRESENT
 MUNICIPAL COURT

Members of the city commission are satisfied with the present method of conducting the city po- lice court In resolution adopted at yesterdays meeting of the com mission. they voted against divorc- ing the offices of city clerk and city magistrate and extended n vote of confidence to Frank Thomas. who serves the city in those capacities.
 The resolution declares that. in the judgment of the commission. no necessity exists for the appoint ment of a city magistrate at this time and that no good purpose would be conserved by extending the Jurisdiction of the city court to civil litigation. The resolution con- tinues by saying that such action would cause additional expense without in any wise aiding the eff ciency of said court or in any wise promoting the welfare of the city.
