Swift to assume marshal duties January first
United States Marshal Henry W. Swift will take over by January 1 as incumbent Doherty prepares to leave. Deputies Galloupe and McDonald also exit that day unless reappointed. Galloupe, active sixteen years, helped boost office receipts under the fee system, which pays the marshal up to 6000 dollars annually with excess remitted to the U. S. The fee money largely comes from violators of internal revenue laws and liquor tax evaders, with local officers as main witnesses receiving fees when they report cases. Galloupe, popular with police, plans to resign by January 1 and a Democrat is expected to succeed him.
