The City Jailer Got Mad and Forgot to
Report to His Superior Omcer.
Jailer George Sheehan is in trouble
again. It il not disobedience to orders,
not incapacity, for he 10 neither insubordi-
nate nor incapable 1t was simply because
George got mad.
On Friday last, after the municipal
court had adjourned, the jailer proceeded
to serve the twenty gentlemen in the re-
ceiving cell with their usual evening ration
of coffee, bread and stewed beef and pota-
toes. This last named dish Is commonly
called Irish stew. and was eminently ap-
pirate on this occasion, for this was Just
the kind Of stew that George got into
later.
There were twenty-one portions Of the
dinner served for the twenty guests, and it
was good and sufficient 1t happened,
however. that day that those distinguished
city guests, Reddy Long and Herbert
Spencer had been put into the receiving
cell. and they induced the other gentle
men there to declare that the food was not
good enough for their high mightinesses.
and that. as there was also not enough Of
it, they would decline to eat what there
was. Jailer Sheehan promptly gave their

they didn't eat the food in ten minutes by
his Elgin, that he would then and there
take it away and let them 20 hungry.
The ten minutes passed. and George got
mad. He did take the food away. back to
the restaurant from which it came.
After it was oil over the jailer bethought
himself to report the case to Capt Sims.
who was the officer in charge in the alb
sence of Chief Jackson. He had been too
mad to report it before. Lieut.. Sims
dignity was hurt. On Sunday Chief Jack
son laid off tho jailer on the charge of
neglect Of duty in not reporting the strike
of their high mightinesses before taking
the responsibility of ordering away the
Irish stew.
The matter will come up before the po-
lice commissioners at the meeting to.
morrow.

the members know that the city il strug-
cling to overcome the consequences Of ILL
advised grading and loose legal work; and
they take pride in the fact that in these
two departments it Is being done most
thoroughly and conscientiously.
At the meeting of the board Superin-
tendent Wilson raised . query which will
need answering. He remarked to Com
missioners Cochran: ''You were . men,

Cochran, whose honesty 10 never ques-

The agent said that when the machine
vas bought. material amounting to 81, 42l
was also bought, but the city later notified
the firm that it was not needed and would
be returned. The firm agreed to take of
500 If it were accepted, and that was
done. An inquiry will be started.
J. d. Lowman applied for q permit to
terrace the Third street side of the Yesler
residence block. Secretary Heifner asked
what right Mr.. Lowman had to apply for
. permit, but after some discussion it was
granted.
Superintendent: Wilson reported that
Mr.. Colman had been unable to inspect
the water works yet.
Superintendent Wilson said after the
meeting that the rebate had been allowed
on the second purchase, and he made no
insinuation of wrong doing. He knew
there was no rebate recorded on the first
purchase and merely asked q question Of

RErusE TO PAY A RswARD.


HaisAavsa Council Eadsaveriag - Re-
pudiass ~ Alleged Obligatien.
FAIRHAvKS. Feb. T.-lSpecial l-Sevsral
months ago when fires were Of frequent
occurrence here and the circumstances ill
indicated that they were Of incendiary
origin. the city council offered . reward Of
$500 for the arrest and conviction Of the
guilty person or persons. Shortly after
ward another FIRE occurred in one Of the
principal business blocks, close to the
ruins Of building burned only few days
before the reward was offered. There was
no doubt that it was the work Of IN incen-
diary. and while the fire department was
still at work subduing the flames, 8. j.
Craft, of the firm of O'Brien & Craft,
whose store 10 in that block. discovered
Frank E. Biles, formerly assistant chief Of
the fire department, who failed to secure
reelection, in hiding beneath an adjacent
building. He was brought out and &C.
cused Of the crime, and confessed that he
was guilty. A plea Of not guilty. how
ever, was entered when the case came to
trial in tho superior court, but the evi-
dence was conclusive. and Biles was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
eighteen months. On account Of alleged
informalities and technicalities the case
was appealed to the supreme court, where
1t Is yet to.be heard.
MI. Craft and his attorney. Judge Max
we'll, applied for the reward, but on vari-
Gus pretexts the council has sought to
avoid payment. At the regular meeting
Saturday the city attorney reported that
within the meaning Of the law convic-
ton had been secured as required by the
terms of the offer. Now the councilmsn
who are opposing the payment are making
still further effort to repudiate the OBJ
legation by questioning the legal right Of
the counil to make such an offer, and on
this question the attorney has now been
directed to report. The same council that
offered the reward offered . reward of
81. coo for the apprehension and conviction
Of W. S. Parker, the city marshal who Sc
cured leave of absence for week in No
vember, 1891. and got out of the country
with over $4,000 Of city funds. He is sup
posed to b in South America. The action
Of the council in offering the incendiary
reward was generally approved BY the peo-
pie and the course Of the councilmen who
are endeavoring to secure the reputation
OF the obligation 10 being criticised.

BOOMERANG JOKE.
How MI. Hughes' Highway Robbery
Story Gained Circulation.

T. L. Hughes, q salesman for the
McDougall-Southwick Company got of .
joke on q few friends on Saturday night
and now wishes he had not. While in .
barber shop on the night in question he
confided to those present in q tone con-
siderably above a whisper that he had
been held up and had lost his watch.
A Posr-IrrELLIGENcER reporter was
within hearing and taking down the
statements left. After he had gone Mr..
Hughes explained to his friends that it
was all joke, you know, not being aware
that the newspaper man had got his words
without his explanation. In this paper
the story appeared yesterday morning just
as Mr.. Hughes gave it. Every one of the
gentleman's friends felt called upon to
drop in and offer condolences until finally
he concluded that his little joke had
turned into boomerang. with the heaviest
stroke backward. He now wishes he

FRANKLIN MINE FLOODED.
The Pit Filled with Water-very Nea
Fatal Accident.

Work in the franklin mines has been
interrupted during the past week by
water which has flooded the pit and far
exceeded the capacity Of the pump. Super
intendent T.. b. Corey has spent part of
the week ut Franklin to assist Super
intendent w. p. Williams in overcoming
the difficulty.
On Sunday afternoon at about O'Clock
an alarm was created in the camp by q
shock and rafting Of the machinery at
the top OF the incline leading into the
mine. Superintendent Williams ran to
the scene of the alarm and found that the
cable had broken or became detached in
some way from car which was running
upon the incline, and that the car had
plunged with lightning speed into the
water at the bottom of the mine.
Fortunately the car contained no men
and all the miners had left the gangway.
Otherwise q catastrophe would have re-
suited from the accident.
