Abbott claims that the defendant. who
il still living in open prostitution. il in
the habit OF taking other prostitutes with
her on her visits to the child. He asked
the count to remove the restrictions on his
custody of the child and decree that the

THE DOG CATCHER QUITS.


Too Costly IN Once to Hold-He VIII
Remove to Portland.
Dog Catcher William Nolan resigned
last evening and turned over his tools"
to Police Captain Hogle. His reasons for
20 doing, as stated by himself, are that the
present regulations do not give him a
sufficient income to provide the neces-
saries Of life; that the cost of keeping
live dogs held for redemption and of re-
moving dogs killed exceeds the income
derived from the lawful allowance. Mr..
Nolan was allowed 81 for each dog can
tured and so cents day for keeping
The cost OF keeping has, in many cases,
given rise to trouble from the fact that
owners object to paying it and frequently
have refused altogether. So far this year
about 300 dogs have been captured, but in
many cases, Mr.. Nolan explains, that
rather than have the trouble of keeping
the dog. killing it and paying for remov-
ing the body to the garbage scow. he has
reiinquished the animal without proper
remuneration. In giving up the position
he gains more than he loses

SCHOOL ELECTION AT BALLARD.
Republican Ticket Wins, But Ineligible
Judge May Cause Contest.

Judge May Cause Contest.
An election for two school directors for
q two and three years term, and for a
school clerk, was held in the Central
school house at Ballard yesterday after
noon from 1 p. m. to s p. m. and the entire
Republican ticket was elected. Various
causes combined to arouse more interest
than il usually taken in 9 school election.
There were three tickets in the field, rep
resenting the three political parties, al
though members Of each party loudly dis
claim that politics entered into the contest
at all. This to certain extent il true. as
there was one Republican on each of the
Democratic and Peoples party tickets,
which presumably lacked good material in
their parties to make up their respective
tickets.
The judges of tho election were P. F.
Morrow and Eli E. Sprague, and John
O'Hara was clerk. P. +. Morrow as Judge
created good deal Of discussion and ad.
verse criticism, because he was supposed
to be ineligible as a nonresident. After
an absence Of nine months in Utah,
whittier he removed his household goods
and family, and where also he published a
paper, he returned on Tuesday to Ballard
and now claims he never lost his resi-.
dence. Judge John Keane and q number
of the leaders of the Peoples party in Bal
lard were outspoken in their indignation,
and loudiy proclaimed they would contest
the election. Indeed, many of all political
faiths say if the right men are not elected
they will contest and upset the election.
At the hour for opening the polls there
were present only enough electors, inciud-
ing Morrow, to act as judges and clerks.
Morrow took the required affirmation and
asserted that he was an elector. Ii he was
not q qualified elector no election could
legally be held, for section So Of the school
law reads:
AT the hour fixed for opening the polls the
electors present shall select two electors TO act
as judges OF the election and one elector TO act
clerk OF the election, aud the thrse selected
shall Constitute the election board, and no
election shall be held unless a sufficient num-
Der of electors is present TO constitute the board
The judges and clerk Aforesaid shall, be lore
entering upon the duties of their Office seyeraily
take and subscribe an oath or Affirmation faith
fully TO discharge the duties such officers OF
the election, said oath or affirmation 10 be ad-
minssered by any schoo! officer or other person
authorized 10 administer oaths
Ii the two electors present had sent for
some one about whose qualifications there
could be no question. the possibility OF a
contested election would have been
avoided.
The vote was as follows:

FIRE AT THE CRKOsOTING WORKS.

Prompt Action Of Fireboat Prevents
Serious Damage-Morc Boxes Needed.
Colman's creosoting works at the foot
of Harrison street. in North Seattle,
caught fire yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and but for the good work of the
fireboat would have been burned. Charles
Maidment, the fireman at the works. had
q hair-breadth escape from death.
the boiler had just been fired up, and
Maidment had stepped back from the
front, when steam cock was blown ont.
The head shot by his neck, grazing it and
leaving red mark. The Oil from the cup
of the cock took fire and spread rapidly.
BY the time the fire apparatus arrived the
boiler room was in flames, and q serious
conAagration threatened. The freboat
was gotten to work in short order and
fairly drowned the flames. L. J. Colman
estimates the loss at between $500 and $500,
fully covered by insurance.
This fire emphasizes the need Of more
alarm boxes in that section of the city.
There is no box nearer than Temperance
and High streets, ten blocks distant, or
Front and Cedar streets, eleven blocks dis
tant, and the man who gave the alarm had
to run to Stimson's lumber wharf at the
foot Of John street and turn in telephone
alarm.
This is the second fire at which the fire.
boat has done good service recently.

quieted down, but there were pies At every town
trying to learn our movements Then the nom
union men were escorted back. They had
driven out all the telegraph operators, 30 that
the mine owners could not send for help, but
we took operators in with US and had q guard Of
militia over them.
The arrests were very quietly made: We
simply told the men to come along and they
came. There was some trouble in finding some
OF them. One officer had to go ten miles over
the mountains after one man. He started out
at O'Clock in the morning and caught him In q
cabin before G. Others were hidden in the hills
and swamps, but we had no difficulty in taking
them; they gave up soon they saw the
troops after them. Altogether We made about
40 arrests, but no arms were taken and they
must still be hidden In the mountains. The
worst places of all were Burke and Aullsn,
which are close to the Montana state line.

non-union men out, and two or three hot

wounded. Everybody was so excited that the
