CLAIMING CHIEFTAINSHIP
Captain l iclicr M ko his Demand
on the Old Chief of the
Flro Department ,
The nowly-electod chief of the fire do-
paitmont , Captain D. F. Etcher , has
been taking matters very coolly , and
there have been many conjectures as to
why ho has not made some demand for
the possession of the office , whluh has
been and still Is held by the old chief ,
Charlie Walters , It hai been though !
that the now chief has been walling
for the sqnibblo about the city
clerkship to bo settled , thinking
that ono contest at a time was about al
that his friends in the council cared t )
handle. Since the city clerkship has
been settled , however , this reason for de
Isy no longer answered tbo pnblla curi
osity , and as a fresh explanation It has
been given out that the captain was en
ntplrant for the position of deputy rev
enue collector at this point , and that i
ho succeeded In getting this ho ironic
not try to oust Walters from the position
of chlof , bnt his explanation fails to ans
wer the purpose now , as it Is announced
that Mr. Lingo has been given the post
tion of collector.
Whatever the reasons have been for
dilay , the captain has at last begun to
act , and yesterday ho made a demand on
Walters , It was no state occasion , tbo
two meeting on the sidewalk in front ol
Brchtele'a hotel. The captain opened
wi'h ' :
"Hello , Charlie ! Well have you get
ready to turn over iha belt ? You know
the council has elected mo as the chief
1 don't care to have any trouble about it
but since I have been elected I suppose ]
might a ) well eervo. "
"N"o , Din , I haven't anything to tarn
over to you , You BCD I was elected chle
frr two years , under the ordinance , am
until tbo council repeals that ordinance ]
don't aee how I can tarn over anvinlntr ,
I don'c blame yon , but I intend to bold
ob until the council repeals the ordinance
filing tbo term for two yean , and elects
a new chief. Then III step out , unloia
ho mayor vetoes the thing , and then , the
veto will have to bo settled someway. " M
"You ain't going to pjvo np the offio ? ,
hen ) Well I suppose I'll have to got It
omo other way 1"
11 That's about what. Youeco I can't
lo any thing but hold on till the council
repeals the ordinance , and tells mo I can
g ; o. So far as you and I nro concerned
gt t's t all right anyway , Dan , wo won't have
any bad blood , will wo T'
" No , Charlie , that's all right. Well ,
el's go into Peter's and got a lemonade , "
and the two aspirants for the chieftainship -
