B. f. Davis and john A. Smith-were not
recognized by the Board, but the two-John
Mason and F. @. Seibe-appointed by the
old and retiring Board we're recognized and
admitted TO seats. The Courts will doubtless
have to settle the question rs to who are en-
titled to hold the seats in the Board of Fire
Commissioners. By unanimous vote Chief
Engineer David Scannel, Assistant Chief
Brady and the district engineers were re-
elected.
Last evening A. A. Rupinsky was fatally
shot by Fritz Schlch, proprietor of saloon
at No. 609 Sansome street, az the latter's
place of business. The difficulty arose about
a difference of SIS charged by Rupinsky for
suudry bar fixtures. During the dispute
Schloh drew pistol and fired two shots. One
took effect in the right lung, and the other
in the groin. both being necessarily fatal
wounds. Schloh was arrested az once and
lodged in Jail. Rupinsky was unarmed at
the time. The surgeons state that he cannot
survive his injuries. The men were formerly
partners, and bad blood had existed between
them for several years.

IL has always been our motto to patron
lie nome industries, and we think that
other people should do the same. When
men engage In business in the county, and
spend their money here, we think our
people should patronize them instead of
sending to other towns for what they NAV
need. For instance Johnson & Stiles
Bros. came to the county about two years
ago and built and equipped large mill
on Turkey Greek. From the start they
met with hardly anything bat discourag-
ments-the wheat crop was a failure and
the machinery dill not work right. Thi-
year they overhauld the mill, ordered new
and improved machinery, engaged fl ST
class miller from Pennsylvania, and now
they are tuning out sume of the fines

An excellent joke is told on one of the
professional men of our city. He got hold
OF bottle OF whiskey the other day, and
placed it III hip pocket until he could find
a retired mock where he could drink it and
not be moested by the boys. He was
sitting in the shoe shop and Joking with
cobler John. when all at once the inmates
began to sniff the air and wonder from
whence came the smell OF liquor. The
HAP with the bottle had felt the luuu d
trickling down his pants, but did not darr
TO stir for fear the whole Of I precious
'tuf would be wasted Finally lie
lumped mp and cried, by thuuder. the
c'rk has come out Of the bottle of liquor
on ht for my wife, and started Tor his
place OF business. As he passed people On
the street they would gaze after him,
wondering why he smelled SO much like
whiskey cask. After reaching his office
he thought occurred to him that he
could make use of the sun as dryer, so
ne sat in her broiling rays for two hours
before he dare go home to his wife.
