John Clubhouse were brought in last
evening from Pinion canyon on the
/ Rio Grande Western railway neal
Tintic in badly injured condition.
The men were at work putting
timbers in the roof Of tunnel Saturday
evening when large boulder fell upon
them. Massey was struck on the side OF
! the head and shoulder; his right ear was
scraped off, shoulder blade and jaw
broken, and other wounds inflicted.
| When he left Provo last evening for the
hospital in Salt Lake he was unconscious

covery.
Clubhouse was knocked down, but not
seriously injured. Another person also
received a shock, but was not greatly
damaged.
CITY COUNCIL.
e. A. Wilson was given the seat form
erly occupied by William Probert, his
bond having been approved.
b. @. Loose and others asked to put in
a pipe on 0 street to carry water into the
east drain for sewerage purposes; referred
to committee on streets and alleys.
Julian Riley and Henry Harrison were
given liquor licenses.
The committee on public grounds and
city property reported the terms agreed
upon by the county court in reference to
dividing up the offices for the city and
county.
Farrer opposed the adoption OF the re-
port, believing that the city was required
to furnish too much In paying one-third
of the expense of lighting, heating and
janitorial work. Other members con-
tended that as the city only possessed
one-sixth interest in the building, the
agreement afforded the city rather the
best of the bargain. Maiben sided in with
Farrer and did not feel inclined to go into
the old courtroom. He moved that the
matter be referred back to the same COM
mittee, with instructions to divide up pro-
portionateIy to the interests. On motion
OF Halliday the matter was postponed I'M
til next meeting.
Mr.. Holloway of the committee on IL
cense reported that they had tailed to dis
cover any hotel running in connection
with S. M. Duggins' saloon and recon-
mended that he be required to appear be-
fore the next council and show reason
why his license should not be revoked.
The recorder was instructed to serve no.
tice in accordance with the report.
A committee was appointed on motion
of Simmons, to look into the advisability
of selling out the city's one-sixth interest
in the court house, or whether or not the
county viii sell any OF its interest.
Some other matters of light Importance
were disposed of.
Judge j. ID. Jones stated that if the
council expected to have their own way i'll
occupying the building, he would insist
on division strictly in accordance with
the interests of both city and county.
WOODEN MILLS IMPROVEMENTS.
A force of men began the work of re-
pairing and overhauling at the Provo
wooden mills TO iay. Many improve
ments are to be made within the present
week, and on Monday next the spindles
and shuttles will be humming, with a
full force of men and women employed.
1t was unfair and unjust that attorneys
should give wrong information as to the
time and place of the meeting of the Bar
association. Different members were
asked whether or not session would be
held on Saturday, and a negative reply
was given, with the ostensible view to
keep reporters away. 1t is not that their
action in taking back what they had re-
solved against Jesse Barton was of any
great moment, but they have received the
greatest courtesy from THE HERALD. and
due respect should have been shown in
return by giving access to anything in the
line OF legitimate news.
THE CENTRAL BUILDING SUITS.
Deputy Marshal Clark is busiIy en-
gagged in serving summons on forty five
of the stockholders of the Central build
ing, against whom suit has been insti-
tuted by the Provo Commercial & Savings
bank ct al, for the recovery of 81, 227.47.
There are assessments in amounts rang
ing from $40 to 500 remaining unpaid,
and plaintiffs demand that all stock be
paid up for the benefit OF these and other
creditors.
Suit is also to be planted against the B.
Y. academy by the stockholders of the
Central building for falling to furnish
clear title to the property on winch they
are located. Three of the heirs of the
Brigham Young estate refused to sign the
trouble. The Central building was sold
some time ago under attachment, and
was bought in by the Brigham Young
estate.
Wednesday morning the fire depart
ment will enter their new building and
be thoroughly equipped for action.
