WADE FINN WAS
VERY, VERY ANGRY
WANTED TO NAME THE ASSIST
ANT ASSESSORS.
When lie Was Informed That He
Could Not Do That Ho tfold City
Assessor Owllym A. Jones That
He Would Spend ?500 of His Own
Money to Secuio tho Defeat of W.
E. Johns, the Republican Candi
date for County Auditor.
There Is at least one olllceholder In
city hall who will not be a party to
tho project afoot there to build up a
political ring with Wade rinn ns th
bright particular setting. He is Gully in
A. Jones, one of thioe city nssessoiti
Philip Hlnslnnd, one of the other as
sessors, is likely to be found In the
same category as his colleague If a tet
wns mndo, but ns yet he has not defi
nitely Indicated his position
Mr Jones' opposition to the ring Is
founded generally upon the print Iplo
of the thing, but more particularly
upon his dctestntlon of the political
methods of the would-be rlngsters, who
arc charged with the defeat of Ills
f i lend, Thomas It Urooks, and their
known unfriendliness to his friend nnd
protege, W. V. Johns, the candidate foi
audlto.
A part of tho piogramme of the
would-be rlngstor.s wns to corral the
twenty-one nsslstnnt assessors, who
were nrovlded foi in n recent resolu
tion that was helped through councils
by Selectman Finn
The assessors were vested with nil
thorit) to appoint the assistants nnd
Ptoceeiled to exorcise that authority
without consulting Mr. Finn or nny1
other of the would-be tlngsteis
HD BECAMI3 AUr.SIVH
When Finn ot ul had somewhat to
ctveroel from the shock occasioned by
this temarkable display of effronten,
Finn uncoiked the lals of his wiath
nnd swooping down upon the assessois
olllcf, Satuiday, pioteeded to deluge
Mr Jones with the contents thereof
The sudden halt which Mr Jon"s
called to the irate Finn made the latter
stand aghast and speechless In worels
that would nevei be mistaken for tho
language of a truculent underling to a
mighty and exnctlng boss, the self
possessed assessor told Mr rinn to get
himself gone, that If ho thought to
frighten an) one he was barking up the
wrong tieo, and that as far as the case
in point went, he, rinn, would not be
consulted
In the language of the curb, Mr. Finn
porceDed that he was up against It,
and with his characteristic cunning,
forsook his indignant air nnd tiled first
to cajole and then threaten Neither
of these means proved any more effect
ive than the attempt at totrorblng,
and aftei telling Mr Jones ho wnild
accomplish "Hilly" John's defeat, left
the office In high dudgeon 5Ii Jones
sa)s that Mi Finn went so far as to
particularize as to how the defeat of
John wns to bo brought about. One
means was tho use of $300 of his own
money
DOHSN'T LIKI3 SHOTTON

rinn wns his falluie to pievent the ap
pointment of Thomas Shotton as as
sistant assessor for tho Second wnrd
Mr Shotton, It will be remembeted.
voted ngalnst Mr rinn for ic-election
as poor tax collectoi
Just how vindictive Mr Finn can bo-x
come when piossed hard. Is evidenced
by the fact It Is a fact, remaikablo as
It may nppear that when he could not
secure the appointment ot his choice,
he thiew his suppoit to a man named
Davltt. Mi Davltt, however, dis
dained the suppoit of rinn and went
ho far as to withdraw his application
In favor of Mr Shotton, when .ii
pialsed of the use to which Finn would
put his candidacy
Finn now threatens to have the
ma) or disapprove the resolution au
thorizing the nppolntments and there
