Dave Mccoy, who in company with Fl. Moore.
was arrested Saturday evening by Detective
Cave and Officer Corbett, for burglarizing the
warehouse OF Shepard, Henry & Co, at Boule-
vard snc stealing three sets OF harness, pleaded
guilty to the charge yesterday q. his prelim-
mary hearing
For nearly three weeks Detective Cave and
onlcer Cor5ett have been working on the case,
ana ever since they day following the burglary
they nave suspected Mccoy and kept "tab' on
MIN. When Mccoy was being taken to the
court room for his hearing he was very abusive
aud alleged that his arrest was an imposition
detective Cave allowed him to rant for a time
and then quietly proceeded to tell him all he
Knew concerning the crime. When the detec-
tive had finished ais story, Mccoy was thought
full for moment and then asked:
"How long teisre can go TO Walla wallsf"
"What, are you going 10 plead guilty?" asked
the detective in sstonishrnent.
II might just WELL" said Mccoy deliber-
ately, with a detected air. you've got the
cinch on me and it won't do any good to make q
fight
And so Ii was. When the prisoner was asked,
"Guilty or not guilty?' he answered Guilty"
and was immediately bound over to the superior
court He says he wants to 60 to the penitsn-
tary Immediately, so that he can commence
serving his sentence, Whatever it may BE-. 1t 10
PROBABLE, however, that before the time he is
tried some amateur lawyer viii persuade him to
stand trial.
Moore, who was simply a stool pigeon, and
had no active part In tie crime, will be released.

Howard Dexter Horton, the 1l-year-old son OF
julius Horton, had miraculous escape Sunday
night from what seemed certain death, By being
run over by push car on Fred Sanders electric

Several boys were playing with the car. How
ara Horton being one of the number They
would push tina car until IL was moving quite
rapidly, then jump on and ride until the car
ceased moving During one of these rides,
young Horton, who was On the front end, lost
his balance and fell headlong upon the
track. 1t was impossible to stop
tho car, or for Horton to clear
himself before one of the front wheels struck
his ankle and ground its way along through
flesh and over bones along the leg to a little
above the knee. His limb was so badly bruised
that he was poweriess TO move, and the second
wheel followed the course OF the first, cutting
the flesh deeper and injuring the bones still
more. The cries OF the boy aud his companions
brought neighbors to the spot The injured lad
was taken home and word sent to his brother,
DR.. George Horton, who went Immediately, and
on making an examination found that the bones

Dr. Horton is OF the opinion that his brother

Ordinance Passed Making Important
Additions to the Water system.
In the house Of delegates President Jones oc-
cupied the chair and Delegates Willis, Morford,
shipley, Barton, Kittinger, Hanford, Cowdsn,
Furry and Bagley were present
shortly after the minutes had been read the
house, upon motion of Bagiey, resolved itself
into Q committee Of the whole to consider
board of aldermen bill No. &c., which author
lied the extension OF and addition to the city's
water system. The bill was passed by the board
of aldermen in November, and the house
passed it last night with certain amend
ments. The amended ordinance authorizes
extending a thirty six inch pipe from the pump
ing station at Lake Washington out into the
lake distance of not less than 500 feet nor more
than $50 feet, TO be Of iron steel, and to con.
struct Herewith an inle. well, and also author
ICES the board Of public works to extend from
the Lake Washington pumping station atwenty-
inch main to the reservoir. a distance of about
74oo feet, and to purchase the necessary material
for the work.
Mr. Willis was called to the chair, and Dele
gate Bsgley addressed the house on the subject
He said the idea was TO extend the pipe from
Lake Warrington to the top OF the hill, and ex-
tend the suction pipe about SEQ feet into the
lake. II had been agreed in conference that
this could not be done az 8 cost not much less
than s50cs0. He alluded to the heavy cost
OF freight and advocated the bringing Of the
pipe around the Horn in order to reduce the
OUTLAY. The speaker stated that the pipe would
cost SIS 50 per ton, but freight by rail would be
about $3.50. The Holly Pump Company had
agreed that soon as their pump was put in
operation the oitys fuel Till would be reduced
one-half, but the city would have to pay inter
es, amounting to about 500 per month. He
also said that the expense of the Broadway sta
tien, which amounted to $50 per
month. would bsi avoided as soon as
the Holly pump was in working order
Among other things 1t was shown that the os-
weso Iron works, Of oswsgo, Or, could lay the
pipe down In Seattle as cheaply as I, could be
landed here from ths factories in the East
After some discussion the committee of the
whole reported iavsrably on the ordinance and
the house passed it, A resolution was passed
expressing as the sense OF the house that the

that the steel suction pipe be procured IN Seat

and Mclean are now, to all appearances, the

woman who was formerly Abbotts wife was
not the cause OF the fight, as has been surnised
in print. Mclean says he never saw the woman
in question, and he further states that the
cause OF the fight il explained by the fact that
