W. W. Holland nnd A. P. Owen own tho property. Mr. Nasburg stated that early last spring ho had taken tho matter up with tho city council but nothing had been done. He said thnt ho nnd other property owners In that sec tion wished to I nip io vo their property but thnt they could not so long ns tho Athorton placo made It au unde sirable locality for decont people to live In. Ho said that tho Nasburg estuto alone paid $1,700 taxes last year nnd ho thought they wero en titled to somo protection. Mayor Straw wanted to know what could bo douo about It and Council man Ferguson said that it was up to tho mayor nnd police department, nnd mado the remark that If he had tho power ho would soon settle It. "Well, I nm going to get out of, ofllco pretty soon now, nnd I nm not going to bother myself with It, but I'll glvo you nil tho power you wnnt," remarked Mayor Straw, tho latter portion of tho statement being di rected to Mr. Ferguson. "Give mo clmrgo of tho pollco department with power to hire nnd fire nnd I'll soon niovo her," replied Mr. Ferguson who added that ho did not want any "lomon" of authority. "All right, you can have It," re plied tho mayor who then asked somo councilman to Introduce n resolution to thnt effect. Acting City Attorney Kendall whon asked for his opinion sntd that under the city charter tho ninyor could not delegate this author ity but ho said that Councilman Fer guson could make a special report and action bo tnken on It. "All right, then I'll report that the plnco bo raided," responded Mr. Fer guson. "We don't want these places In tho most conspicuous parts of tho city. Finally Councllmnn Copplo mado n motion that notlco bo served on May Athorton nnd Messrs. Holland nnd Owen that she must vacate. This, was adopted. Marshal Carter report- j ed thnt tho only way to prosecute, her or got ovldenco would bo to en gage a special officer for the purpose, but this will not be done unless she refuses to vacate. j dny thnt tho Jay Wilcox property, Just below Mercy Hospital, had been pur chased by E.

The city caucus to nominate candi dates for Marshfleld municipal olllccs to be voted on at the annual election December C, will be held In tho Odd Fellows Hull Monday evening, No vember 20. An ordinance specifying tho dato nnd place of holding tho cau cus wns ndopted by the council last evening. J. H. Llghtnor, A. D. Wolcott nnd F. A. Golden wero designated ns Jud ges of election and Clarence Pennock, Hoy Lnwhorne nnd John C. Merchant as clcrkB of election. Tho election December 0 will bo held nt the city hnll. Another ordinance was adopted specifying thnt tho cntlro city of Mnrshfiold bo considered one wnrd and that one polling plnco suffice for tho election. Tho terms of Mayor E. E. Straw, City Recorder John W. Butler and Councllmen Carl Albrecht and Tom Coko expire. There has been very little city political gossip so far. It Is 'expected that Mayor E. E. Straw will be a candldato for reelec tion. It is understood thnt his per sonnl preference Is to retire but n number of his most Intimate and In llucnclnl friends have been urging that ho run again and It Is expected that ho will probably accede to their wishes. A short tlmo ago when Mayor Straw had given some to understand that ho would not be n candldato for reelection, J. Albert Mntson was men tioned ns tho man for the placo by n number of prominent men. A. II. Powers, who wns tnlked of a couple of years ago for mayor still Insists that ho cannot consider It hut when It was understood thnt Mayor Straw would not run, Mr. Powers wns In favor of J. Albert Mntson for tho place. Mr. Mntson Is a closo friend of Mayor Straw's. It Is understood that while ho appreciates the honor of the place ho does not feol that his personal business Interests would permit him to tnke tho ofllco nt this time. Councllmnn Copplo Is known to hnve nn nsplrntlnn for tho innyoralty nnd ninny would not bo surprised to see him nnd Mayor Straw pitted ngalnst ench other at tho December election. A. T. Hnlnos, H. S. Tower nnd M. C. Horton hnve nlso been mentioned as possible candidates but whether they hnvo been consultod is not known. Tho Soclnllsts are planning to put a full ticket In the field this fall. It Is understood that tho men most pormlnentlv considered by ninny of them nro E, Don McCrary for mayor. C. D. Lash and Thomas Howard for councllmen. Who Is being tnlked of by thorn for recorder Is not known. City Recorder John W. Butlor will probably bo n candidate to succeed himself nnd mny not hnvo any op position. Although Messre. Coko nnd Al brecht hnvo both Intimated In tho past that they would not bo candi dates for reelection, many think they will bo In the race again. There have been rumors that Carl Albrecht would bo a candidate for mayor but so far as can be ascertained ho has never personally said that ho would be. So far no other possible candldntes have been discussed but It Is expected thnt some will be brought out.
