ASSUMING AUTHORITY.
Mayor Murdoch, COunteracts the COun'
ciPs Action in the Location Of
the Dumping Grounds.

At the first meeting of the new council
in April, the foot of Fifteenth street was
officially agreed upon as the place for
dumping the offal of the city Later in
the month complaints were entered by
the teamsters concerning the place chos-
en-, stating that in order to reach il a net
work of tracks had to be crossed, which
placed them in the face of danger from
moving trains The matter was referred
to the mayor, whose opinion was that the
dumping ground had better be changed,
and he decided to bring the matter before
the next council meeting. A special
meeting was held few days after, but
no action on the matter was taken.
1t was long time ahead until the next
meeting of the municipal body, so Mayor
Murdoch took it upon himself to Instruct
Health Commissioner Craig to have the
place changed from Fifteenth to Four
teentR streets, thinking the council would
confirm his action when it met. But the
council met and met again, and met
several times and nothing was none
concerning the dump. So the offal ha.
been emptisd there since and
now comes remonstrance from the resi-.
dents along First Mr.. Fred Has:
and others. They complain of the odol
from the depository, stating that some
two weeks ago some miscreant set the
refuge on fire and the wind blew the
smell into their doors and caused much
unpleasantness. They wish therefore tc
know by what authority the mayor places
such nuisance at their doors. They
wish to have right to be heard IN the
council before place is selected fol
dumping the city offal. The mayor has
probably assumed auth ority that is moi
becoming him, and he will have an op.
portunity to explain at the next council
meeting.

A Robbery.

A robbery was committed in John Nell
sons boarding house, southwest corner Of
Seventh street and Fourth avenue yester.
day afternoon. While four of the board
ers, Charles Barquist, Andrew Colsen,
Andrew Larson and J. Echboy were al
work, thief slipped in at the front door,
while the attention of the occupants was
engaged in the kitchen, and proceeding
to the sleeping apartments above, relieved
Barquist of a handsome gold watch anC
50 in money, while the clothes of the
other boarders were ransacked of what
change could be found. The police were
notified, and an investigation showed thai
there was other money in the same room
which was not taken. This, the police
think, reflects suspicion as to who the
robbers were.

The Abattolr-

Yesterday at the request of Health
Commissioner Craig, Ex.Mayor Rey,
nolds, one of the best known and most
successful contractors in the northwest,
visited the site of the proposed abattoir,
and was much pleased with the locality
in every way. He could see no reasons-
BILE objection to the place, he said, and il
the butchers were opposed to it, it was
because they objected to the city's
running an abattoir. He said il
the location was too low ground
might easily be drawn in, and
that $500 to $500 would fill it, for all
practical purposes. The views of SC
eminent an authority ought to set aside
all objections to the abattoir on the ques
ton of location. The council will do its
duty on Monday evening if it decides tc
proceed with the work, as originally
agreed upon.

about "a years Of age, of Davenport, was
drowned while bathing in the MISSISSIPPI

sinking beneath the waves before assis,

while overheated, which induced the at
