TT is RATHER MIXED Up,
a Dlllcally Arises In Regard to The
Joint City and County Building.


Tho joint city and county building
committee held meeting yesterday
afternoon, the principal object OF which
was m effort 10 adjust the differences
existing between Contractor J. IL.
bowman anu the chief su0.conifaotorp,
Messn. Houlahan, Gniliths and
Morris. IL seems that MIR. Bowman
has been paid for the work ~ II pro-
guessed, tile city anu county retaining
10 rcr cent, and he, In turn, laid the
suD.contraclors, the payments being
Iale on estimates OF the architects rs
10 this amount OF work doue. At yes.
lerday's meeting MIR. Griiliths claimed
that there was something like $1,000
worth OF work done for which his firm
had not been paid. Mr. Bowman,
however, declared that there was not
more than $4,000 due the sub.contraot-
ore, and offered TO submit the matter
on an examination OF the building
and the estimate arrived at from such
examination. The parties couli not DO
reconclic1 on this point, but Nit.
Griiilths announced that ~ the matter
could be ~ arranged as to insure the
payment OF money duo them ~ work
progressed In the future, anu securing
aitO the sum IN controversy, whatever
II might he, they would ~ ahead. Mr.
Bowman met this by giving the sub
contractors nh order on the committee
Tor any sums that might be due them
as the work progressed. This, Of pure,
would take the payment out Uf the
hands OF tue contractor altogether, aud
was considered "a very far Proposition,
but MIR. Grllllhs did not think IL re-
cured him los the sum in controversy,
and "a long discussion followed.
Mayor Basin explained 10 tho sub
/ contractors that such an order would
insure the prompt payment Of every.
thing that might DO uue them In the
future and as tho city and county
retained 10 per cent from Mr.. Bow.
man, which would amount TO fome.
thing like $4,000 when the building
was finished, they would be reasonably
cure OF getting the sum in controversy
from that.
Iho contractor conceded 10 MIR.
Griiliths everything posi- lie, but the
latter nnally concluded that nothing
but the payment OF the sum Involved
would answer,and that being absolutely
refused, he announced that he wound
not go on with this work and Withdrew
from the room, followed ty Mr.. Nor.
| ria.
| Mr.. Bowman then stated that he
would have TO relet the contract, anu the
business was proceeded with. In order
expedite the work, the contractor
asked that the committee hereafter
make the payments TO employees anu
material men direct, anu THIS was
practically agreed to.
Judge LOOibOurow and Selectmau
Morris were appointed az a committee
to arrange tho details and report at
Ruother meeting to be held early next
week.
A claim Of $4,000, for tho grant
columns which we're ordered when the
plans we're changed, was allowed, ns a
suit had been c1mmsnuei against the
contractor for that amount.
so the case stands at his junciure.

TAKEN FOR HORSE THIEVES.
A Romance and Tragedy on tho Frontier
Border of Texas.

A Romance and Tragedy on tho Frontier
Border of Texas.
"The most pathetic scene l ever wit
Messed" said II Texas judge to n repre-
sentative of the St. Louis Globe Demo-
craft, was third of 4 century ago, but
1t is as plain to my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you
know what that means in u wild coun-
try. a crowd of us started out after
the scount!rcls, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsemen off to the left, who acted sus-
plclously. After them we went, and it
was pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind n clump of trees.
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight again we found that one
horse had been shot, and they had de-
serted him, while both were riding the
other. They were evidently Mexicans
"a man and Il boy-and the man
showed fight, turning and firing ut us,
finally hitting our deputy sheriff We
gained on them rapidly, and presently Il
wcll-directcd fire sent them all in heap.
When we reached them the boy was
knecling in front of the dying Mexican,
sobbing and moaning as if her heart
would break, while her hair, which had
fallen from her cap, fell below her
waist. 1t was IL case of elopement, and
they had taken us for her fathers serv-
ants, while we had been equally stupid
and had taken them for horse thieves
When he began to gasp she drew IL lit
tie pcarl-handlcd revolver, and before
anyone could think of stopping her
