ordered the release of Henry Gartner within a few days of liis incar eeauitaon in jail after his convic tion and sentence for drunken ness and assault As the facts iin the case are contrary to these reports a correction is due Mr Gartner was released on order of Mayor McAdams but not untiU miruier umu spent aimost an en tire month in the county jail at an expense sto the city of 150 a day It may be added too that a petition of over 100 sig natures was presented Mayor Mc Adams asking for Gartners re lease And further three of the complaining witnesses against Gartner had askeel the mayor t release him stating tliat under the circumstances they thought a months imprisonment was ticient punishment The fine against Gartner was also remit ted on order of the mayor Mr Gartner has a wife and two chil dren elependent upon thim LTis act was that of ti man crazed with liquor but no real assault was accomplished A little calm consideration of tMs matter will convince all who are fair and frank and who do not seek es pecially to elisparage the mayors administration more than they seek to accomplish justice and mercy tliat the mayor has acted hut fairly and mercifully in this ease returning the man to his family and itis support perliaps a wiser man and relieving the city of further anel perhaps pro fitless expense Important Announcement We have taken the sales agen cy for the
