I'm onto it all.” Mr. Upton denied the affair, and can’t fool me. You are the biggest hypoerite in the county— like all the rest of the church gang.” Prestdent Pringle calle: Brosnahan to order, but it was of little use. 4 The riot began when the Council was about to adjourn. Some oneinthe crowd velled “Boodler Brosnahan.” Brosnahan was on his feet in a moment. His"lan- guage cannot be put in type, but it was a succession of volleys of oaths, curses and vile language that would have done credit to the Fish gang. President Pringle called him to order, but it was no us 3rosnahan kept it up while the crowd hooted and yelled like tigers. The language was of the vilest, and President Pringle ordered Chief Lioyd to put Brosnahan out of the hall. The Chief paid no attention, and when at- tempting to make Brosnahan sit down he refused to do so and ordercd the Chief to leave him alone. Chiet Lloyd did so. . Three times did President Pringle or- der the Chief to put Brosnahan out, but the irresponsible Councilman defied hini. and Sergeant Peterson,- who was also present, seemed power)23s to act. “I fine you $10, Mr. Brosnahan,” said President Pring] in a moment of calm. “Oh, you are no better!” yelled Bros- nahan. “I fine you $20,” sald President Prin- gle. “Oh, shut up! It takes six votes to collect that, and you can’t get ‘em!” was the retort. Finally Chief Lloyd restored tempo- rary r,hrder and the Council was ad- journed. As the vote was being taken, Brosna- han turned to the crowd, and after some vile appellations he said, “Yer can't intimidate me; I'm not Wood- ward, and I never was in the army. You are a lot of—" but the rest of Brosnahan's words are not printable. ny knowledge of . “You Brosnahan made a motion to get his | gun and uproar prevailed which nobody seemed able to restrain or queil. Chief Lloyd attempted to keep the mob out: side the rail and was partially success- ful. But the crowd had not forgotten the vile abuse hurled at them by Brosna- han because they objected to being robbed by his vote of $125,000. They waited at the entrance to the City Hall, and when Brosnahan appeared it was apparent that only with the greatest care could he be taken through the streets safely to his home. Chief Lloyd called all the available officers to his aid and the Councilman was escorted to Hanifin’s saloon, where Chief Liloyd kept sentry at the door while his men tried in vain to disperse the meb. “There’s a lamp post!"” shouted some- <" trouble was but a|° PRl g e ind “him,” “Bood- of the loud It was a which in the body. “Put a halter “My name’s not Woodw ler,” “Thief,” were: some }.\'ells that were kept up. { more serious crowd than that arou r a." | chased Woodward to shelter | City Prison last week.

He wanted to go uptown and shoot a few people, and was very ugly to the offi- s, but finally he was put inside. ’ When the crowd was satisfied lhnti | i o there was nothing more to vell at, Frank Valerga addressed them and in- cidentally the Chief of Police.

To continue along the present line is to court the indignation of fellow-citizens and soldiers for the rest of his term of office, and yet, this unhappy condition does not materially fease the major. Palitics is evidently a good thing for juncilman Woodward. His appoint- ment as Councilman changed his luck. Twenty-four hours after his appoint- ment Councilman Woodward was in clover. In the parlance of the street he was flush. Everybody knew that for a couple of years at least the Major had been playing in hard Juck.
