LOTS OF WOULD-BE MARSHALS.

It is reported that “woods are fall” of applicants for the unexpired term of the present city marshal’s seat, which expires next September but which he is expected to resign shortly, having been appointed one of the engineers at the light plant. Among the names we have heard as applicants for the position are C. M. Blue, True Woodworth, Ed Hopkins and Wm. Potts. It is hoped that a good man and one who will devote his own time to the place will be appointed. We don’t want any marshal by proxy. The office pays $45 per month and should go to some man who will fill it himself instead of “farming it out.”
