As a res"lt of some lively work by
Mayor Smith of Padreah in breaking
up lawless establishments and in
which work the mayor ignored Chief
Ce.llins. the latter has tendered his
resignation. It appears a jury sum
moned by the chief to try one of the
men ariesteil through the mayor's
personal efforts acquitted the ac
cused. The chief had summoned :ju
ether men to serve as jurors in other
cases, but these ?, ) were dismissed by
order cf the coert at the request or
the mavor's attorney and the eheriff
was requesteii to summon other men.
I he jury thus chosen convicted the
accused. The mayor had sent to Chi
rcgo for detectives to work up the
cases. Chief Collins felt that he ha
ue n oauiy treated and therefore re
signed. The mayor tried to dlssra

considered at last account.
