LOCAL INTKLLIGENCR.

noon Health Officer Ferral caused the
arrest Of w. C. Fetch on a charge of main
tanning nuisance. Fetch is President of
the Odd Fellows Hall Association, which
owns the st. George building on Fourth
street and the Health Officer states that he
has-in response to numerous complaints
- notified Felch to have the premises
cleansed, so that the offensive stencil of
which so much complaint has been made
might be removed He claims that he has
been as lenient in the matter rs the re-
quirements of his official duty would per-
nit, and proceeded to extremes only when
he found that no other course had effect.
In this connection might also be men,
toned the fact that persons living in the
vicinity of the Capital Fruit Cannerv.
Eleventh and streets, have also COM
planned OF the offensive odors that arise
from cesspoOl in the rear of the factory.
Mr.. Ferral and City Attorney Anderson
visited the premises yesterday afternoon in
order to ascertain the facts, and found that,
while the nuisance most complained of
had been abated, there was still some
cause for complaint. Citizens should take
into consideration the fact that the duties
of the Health Officer are necessarily of an
unpleasant character. If he REQUIRES his
orders to be executed promptly he is apt to
be accused of over tficiousness, or of hay
ing some prejudice against parties and if
he allows people to take their time about
abatlng nuisances then he is in danger Of
being charged with having shown partiali-
". Mr.. Ferral, the present Health Officer.
IS generally credited with a conscientious
desire to do his duty, and in the discharge
thereof he should have the moral support
of the public.
He STILL LIvEs.-Between Il and l
o'clock yesterday afternoon a loud report,
like that of pistol shot, was heard in the
alley between Second and Third. J and X
streets, and quite a crowd of men and bows
gathered in the vicinity, thinking that
somebody had been shot. But as no CORY
corpse could be found, it occurred to some
di sappOinted individuals that il would be
a good scheme TO supply the deficiency as
far as possible. So the rUmor was started
that well-knOwn attache of prominent
liquor house had then and there shot and
killed himself. Owing, probably, to the
MartZ suicide of the preceding day, the
public seemed to be in just the proper
frame of mind to credit the canard, and so
IN few hours il was noised all over town
that the aforesaid liquor man had done
gone and done it," Later in the day the
dead man was seen driving his wagon
through the streets rs usual. As near as
could be ascertained the explosion was
caused by some one touching n lighted
match TO Chinese bomb.
