1 . . I 'W Mil IHMIM Wli A Very Quiet Session and Not Much Business Transacted. Report of Chief of PoUee ud Police Judge Read and Referred F. M. Klobey Oeta Contrmct for Lumber for Ensuing Yer Treaeurer'e Report Showed 9ia.SSS.ai on Hnd June 1. Last evening's session of the city "dads" was quite dull .and would have been devoid of all interest, but lor a few small tilts. The members were all in their seats when the roll was called,and the min utes of the previous session were read and approved. At the request of the mayor the clerk also read the proceedings of the meeting of the board of health held June 5. A long batch of accounts were read and referred to the finance committee The report of the city marshal for the month of May showed eight ar rests, three committments, two fines tald. one secured, one reimtted and one worked out. The police judge's reoort corresponded with this, and both were referred to the police com mittee. The treasurers report snowed a cash balance on band June 1 of $16,- 655.37, and the same referred to tbe finance committee. Staler, of tbe claims committee. recommended that tbe three bills re ferred to bis committee be allowed, and the report was adopted. The streets, alleys and bridges com mittee, to whom had been- referred the bids for lumber for the ensuing year, reported that they had awarded tbe contract to F. M. Kichey, as that gentleman's bid was tbe lowest. . The same committee recommended that the sidewalk recently ordered on West Main street be not constructed. as an investigation revealed the fact that most of the work wouid have to be paid for by the city. On motion of Whalen the report was adopted. Lulz, oi the water committee, re ported that the watering trough on Sixth street had been repaired and was now in good condition. White wanted the matter looked up as to whether tbe city or water company was liable for the expense of keeping the trough in condition, lutz replied that he had investigated the matter, and it was bis opinion, from tne oral nance govering tbe water company. that the latter was not responsible for keeping tbe trough in repair. White, however, moved that the matter be more thoroughly investigated, but the motion received no second. Cummins then moved that the report of the committee be adopted and tbe city pay tbe expenses. Motion carried. The special committee appointed to look after tbe equalization of assess meats asked for .further time, and the request was granted. K. li. Windham, of the board of park commissioners, then obtained permission from the council to make a few remarks. Mr. Windham stated that, according to tbe law, it was tbe duty of tbe council " to make special levy each year of not less than one-half mill, nor more than two and one-half mills, for tbe im provement of parks. The council had not made any levy last year for this purpose, and the board thought it would be reasonable to make a levy of one mill this year. At the conclusion of Mr. Windham's remarks, Sattler moved that the finance committee in clude a levy of one-half mill, for park improvements, in their estimate of expenses for the next year. The mo tion was unanimously adopted. The clerk then read the estimate of expenses for the fiscal year, beginning August 1. This estimate is published elsewhere. I On motion of White the estimate was passed and ordered pub lished thirty days. The finance committee recommended that the claims of Jno. Fitzpatrick and P. J. Hansen, amounting to 10 each, for extra street work during the months of April and May, be rejected. on tbe grounds that it was in conflict with the ordinance governing police duties. Sattler made a vigorous pro test against rejecting these claims. and said the eity had formerly paid street commissioner some 4U per month lor this same work. A vote on the question resulted in the claims being allowed, by the following vote: Aye Mauzy, Heisel, Uebal, Sattler VV halen, blater, iulz, 7. Nay White. Cummins. Herold. 3. Cummins said Mr. Bookmeyer had requested a little grading near the Bohemian Catholic church, and tbe matter was referred to the Btreets, alleys and bridges committee, with power to act. The crossing on Chicago avenue and Seventh street was ordered repaired private crossing on Chicago avenue. leading to A. B. Todd's residence, or dered lowered to street grade, or re moved: crossing on west side ol Seventh, at intersection of Granite, ordered repaired, and crossing Main and Tenth also ordered paired. at re The marshall was instructed to open ditch on the north side of Granite street, to connect with sewer between Eighth and JSlnth. The residents of Egenberger's ad dition were granted permission to work out their poll taxes on the hill In their vicinity. Cummins stated that the horse used by the roan who carboned tbe electric lights was only in actual service for the city about four hours every two or three days, tie sad t'oiiceman Hansen had volunteered to take care of the horse if he were permitted to use him when looking after Btreet work, pro viding it did not interfere with the electric light man's duties. Cummins moved that the request be granted Carried. A number of washouts were next ordered repaired, and the weeds on Patterson avenue were ordered mowed. On motion of Slater the street com mittee was instructed to confer with the county commissioners to secure, if possible, their assistance in repair ing a country read out south of town. Sattler then moved to adjourn, and Cummins arose at the same time and said he had some more business to present. Sattler's motion was sec onded, and notwithstanding Cummins' protest, it carried by the following VAye Mauzy, Rebal, Sattler, Lutz, Whalen, Slater, U. Nay White, Heisel, Cummins, Herold, 4. , The mayor accordingly declared the meeting adjourned. Notice; Until I give further notice I want every man, woman and child to trade with me.

Yesterday afternoon a shooting af fray took place across the river that came near sending one man to the other world. It seems that a farmer over there named Brierly is of a quar relsome disposition and always carries a tevolver strapped to him. He has been having trouble with two fellows over there who have been working on the riprap and notified them not to come near his place.Mendenhallis said to be a relative of the fellows the old man wanted to get a shot at, and when he passed Brierly's place last evening the old man came out and used violent and abusive language toward him He walked on in the road he says and picked up a cluo, and when he looked around he found Brierly with his re volver pointing toward him only a few feet away. He called to Brierly to throw down the gun, but the first response be got was a do bullet which struck him on the.chin and plowed its way up into the jaw bone, breaking it of corse. Tbe bullet lodged there, and the young fellow walked to Platts mouth, where a physician probed for and extracted tbe bullet and dressed tbo wound. A deputy Sheriff of Mills county was soon after Brierly, who had struck out on horseback. At last accounts he had not been captured but no one familiar doubted but what he would be and that a long term in tbe penitentiary awaits him. Later: Brierly, or Briley, was cap tured and landed in jail. SPENT A PLEASANT EVENING. Epworth Lea roe Members Given m Social Bj One of Its Officers.
