C. Earnest has filed his pro test with the mayor objecting to the confirmation of J. C. Wise as assess or of the city of Garnett. Mr.

Earn est claims that he was legally ap pointed to that office and says he stands ready to file his bond, take the oath of office and discharge the duties of the position. To his pro test, Mr. Earnest attaches the affi davits of Councilmen Hedges, Buch tal and Scott that they voted for him each time his name was submitted by Mayor Setter for confirmation, to gether with the affidavit of Councilman McEwen that he voted for Earnest's confirmation the last time his name was submitted. There were but seven members of the coun cil present that night and it is diffi cult to avoid the conclusion that on the last ballot Earnest was properly confirmed and has a right to the office.

He said he was on his way from Garnett to Bush City where he had a job on the section, ana wnen on tne railroad, trade opposite the house he discovered the fire and went across to get warm and when he got warm he lay down and went to sleep. Lewis and Warbrit ton took charge of him and took him over to Blane Vess' where they kept him until morning when he was allowed to go to Bush City or at least said he was going there. It is the general belief that he had built a fire by the house to keep warm and being very drunk, accidentally se the house on fire. He was recognir ed as a man who had lately worked for John Lynch in the Missouri Pa cific and gave. jam.e, vQxga Grand Opening lMmimMiffiMinifliHiHiiZA i II I EFFECT.
