CHEYENNE, Sept. l5.-If Mr.. jerks

it not be a good idea Tor him to submit
them before the work has actually COM
menced. In regard to the contract for

took City Engineer Bonds specifications
and failed to get the contract. 1t seems
that the contract was let according to Mr..
jerks spec ifications. which | first heard
of at the city council meeting last evening
when Mr.. jerks himself read them.
The city is soon to advertise for bids for
building the new Crow creek water gal.

and let every bidder know exactly what
they are, instead of holding Mr.. jerks

taken from other parts of the body and securely
fixed TO the wound by the coagulatcd blood.
Twice he had brought home snipe with inter
woven feathers strapped on to tho site OF frae-
ture OF one or both limbs
The most interesting example was that Of n
snipo, both Of whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by a misdrected shot. lie recovered
the animal only the day following. aud then
he found that the poor bird had c0ntTived to
