Ind., Aug. 8. The judiciary committee of the City Council has passed censure on City Marshal Jones for not enforcing the law especially against the saloons, and at the same time took occasion to "rub" the mayor on the same lines. The mayor and marshal are -Democrats; four of the Council are Republicans and two are Democrats. The mayor and marshal have been at loggerheads, the mayor having, at a meeting of the Council, presented a letter to the Council written by the marshal demanding pay from one of the local saloon ktepers for the protection Riven him. The marshal retaliated by taking all his cases before a local justice of the peace, keeping the mayor out of his fees, thus making the mayor merely a tigure head. In consequence the city is being run "wide open." The temperance people say one of the members of the Council is agent of a brewing company and that protection to the saloons is given in exchange for the tnole received. As all the men involved are Democrats, the Republicans are letting them "light it out" without interference. 3IAX WHO EVElt EATS. Scott County Inn Whose 'ourlhiii out I Poured Inte Ulm.
