Smith then pulled a revolver and fired five times as Coughlin fled.

Officer Murphy heard the first shot and started toward the alley. He had a narrow escape from being; sot as he -tried to run up to Smith while the latter was firing.

DEEP MYSTERY SURROUNDS IT Everybody Who Ought to Know Deal Knowl- dg er Will Not Tslk About the M.v lav.ttlg.ilon Will Cover a Period ol Several Vest.

An Investigation of tha affairs of last city administration has been commenced by the council, ana for three days an expert accountant has been at the city hnll going over tha books of the audltor'a and clcrk'a oftioe. Evidently it waa Intended the investl- gallon should be kept quiet until com pleted, but the fact that it I being made leaked out yesterday. Who th accountant la could not be ascertained last evening. One alderman said he had heard his name but could not recall It: he added that Alderman Miller would know. Alderman Miller when vlslteU by a reporter calmly denied all knowl- edge of the lnvetlgation end when told thut a fellow alderman had referred to him as one who could give the name of the accountant, said: "Well.

If you know all about it, and the other alder man knows so much, you had better a-o to him for your information." And with tnat he slammed down the second Btory window which he had opened to inquire wnui was wanieu. A. P. Chamberlain, assistant ritv so. lienor, let the cat out of the bag.

Mr. Chamberlain is one of the two representatives of the old administration left in the city hall, and ha never evinced a desire to mix up much with the newcomer. In fact, he has been inclined to antagonize them, and when he dis covered yesterday that an investigation was being made he at once notified sev eral of his friends of it. He took par ticular pains to let D. A.

Kooker, ex- city clerk, and Tom Uatters, ex-clty auditor, know what was going on. He thought they would be particularly In terested, as the expert haa been engaged on the books of the ofllces they formerly had charge of. Mr. Chamber lain also Imparted the information that the Investigation was on the quiet, and said the expert had been locked in the committee room a couple of days, work ing on the books where it was presumed no one would- see him. D.

A. Kooker had heard of the in vestigation. He said: "I learned of it tonight, but do not care to say who told me. I know it is going on, and do not care how much they investigate. I think in all fairness the Investigation should be conducted publicly, as I un- derstand it pertains to the accounts of the clerk and auditor ofllces, and be- lleve myself and Mr.

Watters should be afforded opportunity to assist and explain matters which persons not fa miliar with the books would not under stand. I am sure we do not fear an Investigation, and only hope that it will be fair and complete." City Clerk Vertrees denied any knowl edge of an Investigation and insisted that if any one had been working in the committee room he would know It. Mayor Mac Vicar said: "I did not know that an investigation Is in pro gress or that an expert has been em ployed to carry on the work. When told that a city ofticlal who has an of fice on the same floor with the commit tee room had seen the accountant at work, he asked: "Was it the bushy haired individual across the hall from the committee room?" It developed that he referred to Mr. Chamberlain by fhis description.

Continuihg he said: 'I know that some time ago some of the aldermen were agitating the mat ter of an investigation and would not be surprised to learn that they had in augurated it. It would be possible for an investigation to be carried on with out my knowledge. One of the aldermen elected last spring, and who has favored an investi gation, said he would not talk If his name was to be used, and when as sured that It would not he said: "Yes, an expert has been employed and an Investigation is being made. I have heard the accountant's name, but It has slipped my mind and I cannot possibly recall it. Alderman Miller knows who he Is though, and possibly will tell the name.

I understood the Investigation was to be carried on quietly and the public was not to know of It until it was completed; but evidently it nas leaked out. The accountant has been engaged on the work since Monday and so far has devoted his time to the books in the clerk's and auditor oftlces. I understand a thorough investigation is to be made and that it will oover a per iod of several years. Wrhen the new councilmen took their seats last spring there were rumors rife of disclosures In city offices and particular attention was called to the records of the council purchasing com- mltee. It was claimed the proceedings relating to the acts of the committee at the time It sent members to the north part of the state to purchase hay and oats for the lire department were not altogether clear and that bills and warrants for a portrait of ex-Mayor Lane did not agree by something like jioo.

There were also charges that the ac counts between the city and the Des Moines Stationary company, in which ex-Auditor Watters was Interested and from which most of the stationary used at the city hall was purchased, were not correct. An Investigation was started at the time by members of the council committee on conduct of public affairs but it wa? found the undertaking was a big one and it was dropped at the time but with tne understanding it wouiu he taken ud again at a later date and an expert employed. At one time tno charges were brought to the attention of the grand Jury but nothing resulted. The oresent investigation is unoouoteo ly a continuation of the one inaugurat ed by the council last spring. HURST riAY NOT RUN.
