COUNCIL SNOW SIIOVELS ORDERED OUT Property Owners and Occupant Ma it Ketp ths Sidiwtlka Clard. WEST .wNIERS PRESENT PAVLNG PETITION "v Dealre Have City and toeaty Pay fop Paving; ef Fifty-Foot gtrln en West Broadway PetKlon v Is Filed. The city council last nlht by a unani mous vote decided to sustain the mayor and chief of police In rigidly enforcing the ordinance relating to the removal of snow and ice from, sidewalks by owners or oc cupants of abutting buildings or lots. The ordinance in question requires that the occupant of every building fronting upon any street or sidewalk or the owner of any unoccupied lot fronting as aforesaid to clear the sidewalk of all snow and Ice by 9 o'clock in the forenoon of each day and cause same to be kept clear. Failure to comply with the provlalons of this ordl- nance subjects the person so offending- to fine of not more than 10 for every twelve hours the sidewalk shall remain so encumbered after notice from the mayor, any alderman or police officer of the city. Rev. Henry De Long. In his dual official capacity of probation officer of the Juvenile division of the district court and truant officer of the sch'Xil district, ajked that the curfew ordinance be resurrected and en forced on and after January 1. Chief of Police Richmond stated to the council that bis officers were enforcing the ordinance as far as possible, but that a steam whistle would be necessary to notify the children at 1 o'clock that It was time for them to get off the streets. The matter of se curing the use of some steam whistle for this purpose was referred to the committee on police. Want City to Pny. Relative to the paving of West Broad way the following resolution, adopted by the West End Improvement club, was pre sented and was ordered filed without com ment: That the paving of Broadway, fifty feet wide, from the Indian creek bridge west to the bridge approaches. Is of the first Im portance to the whole city. As the street is a thoroushfore for the DeoDle of the city and the county, the assessment should not be made uaralnst the adloininar property holders, but the cost should be paid by the city and countv. Aa there Is no more Important Improvement to be made In the whole county, we feel that this should meet the immediate attention of tne Board or Supervisors, and all available funds of the county should be uaed In conjunction with city funds to complete tnis improvement. The county supervisors have permission by the legislature to col lect Interest on the county deposits and we Insist upon their doing so, requiring the banks holding these funds to give satis factory security for the same. On motion of Alderman Weaver It was decided to place 13,000 Insurance on the Indian creek dredge. Signing the contracts for the 1.000 feet of hose for the new engine house In the southern part of the city was deferred ow ing to the failure on the part of the firms furnishing same to file the required bonds. Ko Ontilde Stairway. The request of the owners of the three story building at the corner of Fourth street and Broadway, now being remodeled, to erect an outside stairway to the second story on the east side was refused. 8. P. Miller a veterinary surgeon of Shelby county, filed an application for ap pointment as city meat Inspector. In ad dition to acting aa food Inspector the ap plicant offered to treat all horses belonging to the city and all animals kept In the parks for the sum of 1600 per annum. The application was referred to the committee of the whole. The purchase of a horse at 1140 for the fire department to replace the one which recently died was authorised. Mayor Macrae suggested that steps be taken to condemn the building at 122 South Main street owned by Day & Hess and occupied by Morgan & Klein, which was recently badly damaged by fire. It Is a two-story frame structure. W. J. Almy filed a protest against the contemplated construction of a switch track by the Standard Manufacturing com pany on Twenty-fourth street within seven feet of his dwelling house. Mr. Almy was Informed that the company h&i made no request yet for permission to put In the switch track and that when It did the council would see to it that his rights were not Interfered with. The mayor was authorised to appoint a speoial committee of which he will be chairman to meet and confer with the en gineers of several railroads on the Indian creek question and the raising of the rail road bridges over the same. Marks & Co. riled a claim for 136 for damage to one of their vehicles which had fallen Into an open sewer on Tenth ave nue between Third and Fourth streets on the night of November 27 last.

With ,the plea of guilty entered yester day by Fred Jones, charged with highway robbery, the bottom fell out of the crim inal docket for this term and the trial Jury, It Is expected, will be discharged at the close of the Witt case. Jones was In dicted for robbing W. W. Stltt. an elderly farmer of Imogene, la., one night In a hack while the latter was taking In the sights of the city after dark. Judge Green sentenced him to one year In the peniten tiary at Fort Madison. The case against J. L. Price, Indicted on a charge of forging a check which a com panion was alleged to have passed, was dismissed on motion of Assistant County Attorney Hess. The trial of F. R. Beaman. former local manager of the FJqultable Home associa tion. Indicted on a charge of conducting a building and loan business without author ity from the secretary of state, was yes terday continued to the January term with the understanding that It be assigned for the first Jury case at that terrrt. The trial of Archie Walker, which was set for this term, was also postponed on j motlon of the defendant to the JYnuary term. Walker was Indicted on a charge ot being implicated with C. E. Bird, now serving a penitentiary sentence, for (Tie hold-up at Graves' store, when J. W. Cat terlln was robbed of a sum of money and a gold wntch. The trial of J. W. Wilson, brought tip on appeal from the superior court, charged with assault and battery on H. Sokaloff and wife, proprietors of a Main street gro cery store, was commenced yesterday. Wil son was fined 135 and costs in the lower court. The alleged assault was said to have originated over the refusal of Soka loff to extend Wilson credit. Following the Wilson case the trial of Fred Witt, the Neola attorney charged with embezzlement, will lie taken up, and this is expected to be the last Jury case for this term. Arthur Baxter and Raymond Hall, the boys charged with the theft of the pocket book of Miss G. Hough while the latter was shopping Saturday evening In a Pearl street store, were taken before Judge Green yesterday morning In the Juvenile division of the district court. The lads were brought before the court by their parents, who pleaded that they be given another chance. The boys admitted the theft and evidently realized the position they had placed themselves In. The court ordered them committed to the reform rhool at Kldoro, but suspended execution of the commitment pending good behavior. Mnat Open Manawa Streets. The supreme court has refused a re hearing In the suit of Christian Robards and other property owners at Manawa against the motor company. This is tho suit brought to compel the motor com pany to open certain streets through Its resort at the lake which It had fenced In The Judgment ordering Third street, which formerly separated 8hady Grove from the resort proper, and Lake avenue, which ex tends from Third street east, opened can now be put Into execution. No demand, however, for execution of the Judgment It Is stated, will be made until next year. The local attorneys for tho motor com pany state that the company has not de cided what course It .will pursue in tho matter, but declare that It will not buy out the Interests of the pluintifTs, though It has to close the resort. The plaintiffs In the suit were J. S. Chris man of Danville, Ky., George W. Roberts of Horrisburg, Ky., W. H. Beck and W. M. Ballou of Manawa, the latter having died since the commencement of the original action. Plumbing and heating. Blxby ft Son. Pioneer l.frf City. N. C.

Displayed at Leffert's SEEK PAROLE FOR MARSHAL Deleo-ation of Albia Citimi Pay Visit to Governor Cummins. POLITICIANS OF THE STATE ACTIVE Lougr Time Yet Defore Conventions, bat Laying: of Wires Goes Merrily On Deeorntlngr Capitol Dome. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. 19. (Special.) A del egation bf residents of Monroe county spent the larger, portion of the day with Gov ernor Cummins urging upon him that he parole Thomas Smith, serving a sentence of three years for the killing of Wld Sarver. Smith was city marshal at Albia and had arrested Sorver's father, when the younger man interfered and was In ths act of assisting the arrested man to break away from the officer. Both were practically placed under arrest for drunk enness. The marshal was determined that they should not escape and he shot Sarver and killed him. On trial the marshal wus convicted of manslaughter. The defense undertaken was that he had a right as an officer to use extreme methods of mak ing the arrest and had a right to tukc human life, as he was an officer. Tha courts refused to take this view of the case, and it was held that an officer had no more ritcht, to, take human life than has any other citizen. Now the people are appealing for a parole on the ground that the act was in fact self defense, though that might have not been proved at the trial of ths case in court. They also ask a pardon, on the ground that the marshal hud been an efficient one In ridding Alblu of hard characters and that since he was made marshal good order had been pre served.
