No. 62 v Wkt MQtth W v) i - '3- ' r jlt Ji n ko X V Solution of Fire Department Muddle A solution of the fire department muddle has practically been readied by Mayor Evans and the fire committee of the council who havo been conference several times since the fire boys re . signed in n body last Thursday evening. Realizing the gravity of the situation, this committee arid. Mayor Evans at once got busy and tentative plans agreed upon 13 to purchase an auto fire truck carrying.nn abundance of hoeo and a fifty gallon capacity chemical extin guisher, at ucost of about five thousand dollars, the present fire wagon to be turned in on. the purchase price. This auto truck will be kept at tho Hinman garage, a..d Mr. Hinman agrees to fit up rooms over the garage as mooting quarters for tho fire department and as a dormitory for at least four members, who will sleep there. He will also erect lockers down stairs for the storage of coats, boots and other equipment. An aperture will bo" cut between the two floors of the building and a slid pole put in, thusjjiving the firemen occupying tho rooms easy access to the ground floor. For the storaged of tho truck, the rent of the rooms on the socond floor and a driver for the' truck Mr. Hinman will ask thirty dullars per month, which is certainly a reasonable charge Under these conditions tho members of tho volunteer fire department will withdraw their resignation and will act with greaterenthusiasm than hereto fore. This will do away with having a paiddepartment as contemplated follow ing the resignation of tho members. At present tho city is paying $G5 a month for a team to haul the fireJ wagon, in addition to paying leases for the ground on which tho hose houses stand. By dispensing with the team and tho Tf so houses, a 'saving1 of be tween lorty and fifty dollars per month can be made, which will pay interest on the additional investment in the auto truck. - , The plan is to tear down the hose ' houses and sell the lumber? These buildings are in bad repair and were ""their use to be continued it would re , quire quite a sum of money topUt thfrn - in proper shape. , J " '1 The Mutual Building & Loan As sociation has for sale at a bargain, lots 3 and 4, block 23.

An hour after nrriving in town Sam got a lino up on conditions and prepared for action. Sunday morn ing he was up at five o'clock and sta tioned himself in the weeds near the south river bridge. He had scarcely gotten in the clear until tho automo biles loaded with men, boys and guns began to roll by, and ho noted;tho num bers on the cars and tho direction tak en when they reached ) the south bill. He thon roturned to town, hired an automobile and stntionccl tho car at tho exporimentiJMamr. When on auto ap proached from the oast or west, he had his driver run the car north to the fcro nont slough bridge just nhoad of the approaching car, and when renchlng the bridge angla his car so as to stop tho progress of the car followimg. This plan was tried on several ca-s, but they were found to be occupied by people who were not wanted. But all things coir.o to him who waits. A car con tahungthreo hunters ,nnd a dog or two came from the east nt twenty-fivo mile3 n hour,. and Warden Bowers started , ..Is car for the bridge, drove up on it, had Ills driver stop in an angling posi tion, and he jumped out ready to nab tho offenders. But tho offenders, who recognized Bowers, did not propose to be nabbed; thoy simply gave their car mora gas, knocking Sam's car to tho other side of the bridge and came into town at a-speed thatbroke all speed records. Then, Sam had a heavy heart, waxed mad, and sworo that he would, Vy virttfo. of-thepewor vested in him by tho gren). commonwealth of Nebras ka, shoot the next car pf hunters who refused to halt. The next car that camo along contained three boys and a dog. Sam threw up his gun, halted them and made a search but found no chickens. Later, Bowers found a chick en which the three men had thrown out, and this he bronght to town yes terday as evidence. He reported the matter tdthe shoriff and the county at torney and asked that the men be pros ecuted on the charges of killing birds out of season, fracturing the law on auto speeding, resisting an officer and a few other things. The officers de clined to bring nction under all these charges on tho very slim ovidence Pow ers presented, but would go ahead on the chicken Ehooting charge. This did not please Sam, and he left town last night vowing to prefer charges against the county attorney and against the sheriff with the governor. Please don't be surprised if fo'? companies of tho state militia are sent to North Platto to forcibly arrest the sheriff ,and county attorney , Notice to Water Consumers. It has come to our notice that con sumers are lax in regard to shutting off water when the firo alarm sounds. It is absolutely necessary for consumers to do this in order that wo may have sufficient pressure to fight fires. Ourin snectors have orders in the future to shut off the viter from a consumer found breaking this rule. This applies to those consumers on meters as well as those not on meters.
