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 "

Hunters too Smooth
for Game Warden
Sam Bowors, n former North Platto
Platte barber but now deputy Btato
gamo warden with hendquartcrs at Co
lumbus, arrived in town Saturday to
investigate reports sent to him Ithut
North Platto huntorsjjwore slaughter
ing prairio chickens in a mostlunmerci
ful manner. 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.
