NEW CITY TREASURER. Moscow's Common Council Displaced Williams and Elected Brune. Moscow, Jan. 26.-The city treasury matter, which every one regarded as settled for a time at least, took a new turn at the council meeting Thursday evening. Saturday evening Treasurer Williams turned over the warrants which he had redeemed, and the securities which he offered were referred to Councilmen Hodgins, Matthews and West to report upon Thursday evening. Williams left for Boise Sunday. Thursday evening Councilman Matthews stated that Mr. West was absent, as he had been summoned to appear before Judge Piper upon petition of Receiver Headley of the Farmers' bank and show cause why he should not turn over the notes in his possession to the receiver as the property of the bank. He also stated that bond interest coupons, aggregating $900, were at the First National bank for collection, which Williams reported paid, and with which he was credited in his report. After an informal discussion. Councilman Cornwall made a motion, which Councilman Hodgins seconded, to declare the office vacant. All the councilmen present voted in favor of the motion. Mayor McCartor then nominated C. M. Brune, and he was promptly confirmed. Mr. Brune is the cashier of the Moscow National and has been deputy treasurer since the additional bonds were furnished by the two city banks, a fortnight since. The council will meet again Monday night. Councilman West came in after the question had been decided and protested against the action as unwarranted and illegal. George W. Goode, Williams' attorney, while unwilling to state his probable action in the matter, declared the course of the council illegal, and that Williams was still city treasurer.
