A Very Quiet Session and Not

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

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.

Herold, 4. ,
The mayor accordingly declared the
meeting adjourned.

ALMOST A MURDER.
Farmer IJrllejr of Bethlehem Attempts to
Kill Yoonr William Mendenhall.
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.

Epworth Lea roe Members Given m Social
Bj One of Its Officers.
The members of the old and new
cabinet of the Epworth Loague met
at the home of C S. Polk, on North
Sixth street, last evening, by request
of that gentleman, to spend a few
pleasant hours. Pleasant conversa
tion was indulged in until a late hour,
after which the guests repaired to the
dining room, where refreshments were
served from a handsomely decorated
table. After ice "cream, cake and
strawberries had been partaken of,
each guest was presented with a neat
ly printed program upon which ap
peared the names of the guests pres
ent and subjects upon which each
was requested to discourse. As the
guests were unprepared, some of tbe
speechs were indeed very comioal.
Those present were the Misses
Lizzie Eikenbary, Maggie Mapes,
Maude- FoxwelI Gene Marshall,
Maude Mauzy, Mrs. Rowland and the
Messrs. C. C Wescott,Robert Carlyle,
Hilt Wescott, R. A. Byrkit, C. S.

been pleasantly spent.
