COUNCIL HAD
MUCH BUSINESS
Adjourned Session of Council to Be
Held Monday Night to Care for
Large Amount of Work
HERSHMAN IS CITY PHYSICIAN
Although the regular meeting of
the city council Tuesday evening
lasted until 11:30 o'clock, it was im
possible to handle all the business,
necessitating the calling of an ad
journed meeting for next Monday ev
ening. Two matters of special im
portance which were not acted on,
and which will be considered Mon
day, were the taking into the corpor
ate limits the new addition, "Fair
view", and the taking over the cem
etery by the city.
Councilman A. J. Welch, who had
been absent from the city since elec
tion on account of the illness of Mrs.
Welch, was present, took the oath of
office and entered upon his duties
like a veteran. The entire member
ship of the board was present. The
eight members of the council and the
other city officials are gettnig down
to business without delay in a way
that bodes good for the city during
the coming year. Mayor Romig is
keeping close tab on the city's af
fairs and nothing escape shis care
ful attention.
The report of City Treasurer Arch
ie Gregory is now made out on a
business-like printed blank, a copy
being furnished to each councilman,
as is the report of the electric light
department, furnished by Superin
tendent Hughes. The report of the
treasurer showed a balance in the
water fund of 13,349.15; a balance
in the light fund of $5,542.35; and
a balance in the general fund of $5,
557.65, with registered warrants
amounting to $3,008.69 unpaid. All
warrants were ordered in on May 1.
This report shows the city in good
financial condition at the present
time and gives the new administra
tion funds with which to go ahead J
and make improvements.
The electric light plant is making
a good showing in spite of the large
reduction in rates which became ef
fective April 15. The net profit for
the month, according to the report,
was small only- $112.85, -but this,
was caused by an expense of $414.35
paid out for insurance and the ex
pense caused by building a new re
taining wall for the boilers in the
plant.
The council voted to run a water i
main to the center of the city park
from the present main on the west
side, the cost of which will be ap
proximately $75. The street com
missnoier was instructed to get
Fifth street, which leads to the fair
grounds, in good shepe for the stock
men's convention next month. The
three proposed city ordinances were
referred to the ordinance committee
for revision in order that they will
not duplicate or conflict with, exist
ing city ordinances. ..
The appointment of Dr. C. E.
Hershman as city physician, Rfl E.
Knight as city engineer and Chas.
L. Hill as chief of the fire depart
ment was confirmed by -the council.
Chief Hill has appointed L. E. Pilk
ington, driver of the fire truck, as
assistant chief.
Mayor Romig stated that the busi
ness of the city demanded the ap
pointment of a new committee on
City Buildings and Property. He ap
pointed on this committee Rowan,
Welch, Davidson and Snyder. A
number of the curbs and sidewalks
of the city built recently do not con
form with the ordinances, and a res
olution was passed requiring that no
sidewalk or curb be put in without a
permit from the city engineer, the
work to be done under the supervis
ion of the street commissioner.
A motion authorizing the mayor
to issue an order prohibiting the I
throwing of confetti and using of
"wife beaters" at street carnivals
and conventions was passed. Coun
cilman Snyder submitted plans for a
culvert to be erected in the draw at
the intersection of Fourth street and
Missouri avenue. Bids are being ad
vertised for for this work. A peti
tion for street grading on Fifth
street, from Big Horn to Box Butte,
was referred to City Attorney Red-!
dish for an ordinance covering the
work to be done.
Applications for street sprinkler
were read from five parties. The bid
of John Garrett was accepted, pro
viding he agrees to drive the team
himself. A salary of $90 per month
is paid for this work, the team and
driver being employed on street
work when not engaged in sprinkling
the streets.
Chief Jeffers of the police force
spoke on the hobo situation. The
chief stated that there were probably
sixty hoboes In town that evening,
and that ordinarily there are from
fifty to one hundred in town each
night, that they pilfer and steal
when opportunity offers and are a
tf; general nuisance. The proposition
of a municipal stone pile was dls
cued. but stone Is scarce In the
vicinity of Alliance It was decided to
hire an extra night marsha.ll and two
exira uay marshals If necessary, tney
to be used in working the hoboes on
the streets as lone as the presert
large number cont'nues.

tion to the salary of the police Judge.
This was referred to the council as a

each Saturday evening, the weather
permitting.

JOHN M'CANN
FOUND DEAD
Body Found on Ijonely Hill Twenty
Five Miles From Sterling;,
Colorado
"SIICIDE" WAS JURY'S VERDICT
The body of John McCann, aged
45, was found on top of a bill called
"Flat Top", about twenty-five miles
from Sterling, Colo., last Sunday
morning by Harry Lindsay, a young
ranchman in that neighborhood. The
body was badly decomposed, and Id
entification was made only after a
thorough search of his pockets. The
dead man was an employee of the
Sterling Plumbing, Heating ana Ma
chinery company, and had been
working for these people for several
years. It will be remembered that
he worked on the court house here
a year ago, and he was well known
In this section. The first theory was
that there had been foul play, but
after an investigation the coroner's
Jury returned a verdict that he had
come to death by his own hands. A
small pocket knife belonging to him
was found near the body, which bore
out this theory.
The sheriff and coroner hastened
to the scene as soon as the matter
was reported, and made a thorough
investigation. The result was that
three men were arrested on suspic
ion, one of them being Ed Brennan
of Alliance. The other two were a
plumber and a Russian bootleger in
Sterling. Sheriff Patterson came
here from Sterling to get Brennan,
who was more than willing to ac
company him, and he helped consid
erably in clearing up the mystery.
Mr. Brennan stated that things did
look rather dark for him, owing to
the fact that he had been with the
dead man the day before his disap
pearance, and had returned to Alli
ance shortly afterwards, but he
quickly produced a complete alibi.
In relating the circumstances Mr.
i Brennan stated that he and McCann
were rooming together, and on Wed
nesday morning, April 22, his com-
panlon awoke early and dressed, re-
marking as he did so that he did not
feel well. Mr. Brennan noticed that
he seemed worried an dfretful and
that he smoked a great number of
cigarettes. Before McCann left the
room, Brennan remarked that he
would stay In bed for an hour or so
and would then meet him at the'
breakfast table. When he came
down for breakfast, McCann was not
present. Nothing was thought of it
until later in the day when he did
not put 4n an appearance, and at that
it was decided that he was away on
one of his rather regular "periodi
cals" at which times he would leave
without letting anyone know of his
intentions, and stay for a week or so.
No stone was left unturned in the
investigation, and the facts, as near
as could be ascertained, were that af
ter leaving his room McCann had
gone to the Sterling Catholic church
and inquired for the priest, who had
not yet awoke. However, the door
was answered by a missionary priest
whom McCann asked if he could en
ter the church, stating at the same
time that there waa someone follow
ing him and trying to kill him. He
entered the church, and the next
heard from him was from three
ranch houses at which he Inquired
the way to the home of a Mr. Potter,
with whom he had become acquaint
ed, and who had invited him to come
out to his ranch for a visit. It was
found that be rode to within six
miles of Potter's home on a passing
wagon.

BAKER SAYS ADVERTISING PAYS
H. H. Baker, who Is conducting the successful closing-out sale
of the E. C. McCluer stock of dry goods and clothing, was asked by
The Herald this week to state whether or not the advertising done
by him had been a paying proposition. His statement is given be
low. Mr. Baker ran a two-page ad in The Herald on April 29th.
following it with a page ad on May 6th and a page ad in this issue.
On Saturday. May 1st, following the big ad on the 29th of April, the
sales of the store ran over $1300, making a high record and proving
the ability of Mr. Baker as a salesmanager, as well as proving to
those Interested that Herald advertising pays.
Mr. Baker said: "In answer to the question. 'Do you think ad
vertising profitable as you have done In Alliance,' I will take the
liberty of stating a few facts relative to the advertising game of to
day, before briefly answering that question. This is a topic of fore
most interest to the live business men of today. It Is a fact that
the entire results of a man's business or establishment depend upon
its publicity. Whether the publicity Is secured In one way or an
other, it all comes under the classification of advertising. Having
been actively interested in the field of advertising with some of the
largest concerns in the country, I was chosen and given the task of
closing out a stock of goods in Alliance. I have found this task a
pleasant one and appreciate having received the co-operation of the
newspapermen of this city.
"After arriving in Alliance and getting my bearings I began
my advertising campaign In a moderate way by advertising in the
local papers and business began to Increase at a rate that was of
keen Interest to all concerned in the firm. I found, after a short
time, that the stock was now rapidly moving but in order to see that
the entire stock was closed out in the allotted time I could see that
It was necessary that we have more extended publicity. I decided
to co-operate on a larger scale with The Alliance Herald a visit to
our store at this time will easily prove to anyone that our campaign
with The Herald has been a big success. Business Jumped with
leaps and bounds. A few more days of co-operation and price
slah!ng will close the barrain eates, leaving behind the memory of
a successful advertising and sales campaign in Alliance. I n ost
cheerfully recommend The Herald as an advertising medium tbat
brinr r suits."
thought that after leaving he wagon
he started across the country, and,
as he came to the "Flat Top" he be
came desperate over some real or
fancied trouble, and, taking out his
pocket knife, stabbed himself sever
al times over the heart and attempt
ed to cut his Jugular vein; he then
staggered up the hill, and upon
reaching the top fell backward and
died soon afterward.
Although the body was badly de
composed when the crooner arrived
there were still signs of knife
wounds, and it was evident that an
effort bad been made to cut his
throat. None of the wounds was
serious enough to cause Instant
death, according to the authorities.
Complete Identification was made on
ly after a thorough search of his
effects.
A fact brought out at the Inquest
was that McCann had evidently been
walking with his coat and vest open
In the front and that after he had In
flicted the wounds had buttoned
them, as the knife marks were not
visible In the cloth. There were no
traces of blood around the body, as
there had been a heavy rain previous
to the day on which the body was
found.
Mr. Brennan stated to a Herald re
porter that McCann was subject to
fits of despondency, during which be
was greatly worried and acted queer
ly at times, but he confided his trou
ble, If he had any, In no one. While
in Alliance he seemed very friendly
and good natured, and was an excel
lent workman. At the time of his
leaving Sterling, according to the
plumbing company for which be was
working, he had several dollars wag
es coming to him.
The remains were Interred In a
Sterling cemetery. So far as is
known, McCann's only relatives are
a brother and a Bister living In Denver.

More "Vagi" Taken Up
Six vags were picked up this morn
ing while they were begging meals at
the residences over town. wnen
k "W fV- ih Robert, thev
.fences of from five to
c --- . .
ten days working on tne streets, un
examination it was found that some
of the vags possessed a sufficient
amount of money and that they
could have bought their meals. At
that they were asked if they paid
their way on the freight train on
which they came In. They replied
in the negative, whereupon Burling
ton special officer, Phillips, with
whom they were unacquainted,
swore out a complaint against them
for stealing a ride on the train.
This class of men has become so
numerous of late that It has required
drastic measures to deal with them,
and with the extra officers now on
duty looking for this class, they will
be brought to Justice as soon as they
are seen.

the Elks will bold their first meeting
in their new home. There has been
some litigation with the bonding
company, but this will be settled
shortly, and it waa decided that the
matter could be settled as well with
them In their new home as in the old
one. The furniture and fixtures were
moved the first of this week.
The Alliance Elks lodge was insti
tuted ten years ago, with a charter
membership of fifty, being organized
In their own lodge room, which had
been prepared beforehand. This
was the first lodge In the state to do
this. The hall, which was In the
upstairs of the Reddish building, was
first remodeled at a cost of $1,000.
Since that time, many other improve
ments have been Installed, until they
now have some of the finest equip
ment to be found In the state.
William Mitchell was the first Ex
alted Ruler, and T. J. O'Keefe waa
the first secretary. It was about six
years ago when the subject of the
lodge owning Its own home was
brought up for discussion, and bad
been an Important topic with the
lodge since then. In April, 1914, a
committee composed of Wm. Mitch
ell, Dr. Copsey, Robt. Graham, Percy
Cogswell and Eugene Burton was ap
pointed to get the necessary data on
a building, and as soon as their re
port was turned in, Immediate steps
were taken to purchase a site and ar
range for the letting of the contract.
On April 2, 1914, fbe annual elec
tion of officers was held, and Ben
Sallows was elected Exalted Ruler,
and J. D. Emerick,, secretary, to take
the places of VV. O. Barnes and Percy
Cogswell. From a .charter member
ship of fifty, the lodge flow has 826,
a record of which it can be Justly
proud. Ho far as is known, this is
the only lodge outside of Omaha
that owns its Individual home. Ac
cording to Dave Bowden, superin
tendent of construction, the entire
cost will be about $22,500. There
are lit) signs of. extravagance; yet the
building is a model of elegant archi
tecture, both inside and out.
In the upstairs are the lodge and
ball rooms, property room, ladles
rest room and men's smoking room.
In the basement Is. the pool room,
buffet, card room, gymnasium, show
er bath, and the boiler and heating
apparatus. The .building is large
and commodious, and will serve for
future generations. , A driveway has
been built from the front to the
rear, so that autos or other vehicles
can be driven right up to the en
trance and the occupants can step
right into the ball room.
The grounds have been subjected
to some wonderful improvements.
