COMMONCOUNCIL
Filtration to Be the Chief Topic at
Tonight's Meeting.

There will be music in the air Mt the ses-
sion of the Common Council this evening,
when the matter of filtration is taken
from the table to which it was committed
at the last meeting that he report of the
joint special committee and the accom-
panying resolutions might be printed.
The fact that the question of the legality
of the record whereby the passage OF the
resolution OF the Board of Aldermen is
TO be passed by the city solicitor, will
not be considered as influencing the Coun-
Gil to defer action until the opinion is
rendered. Several of the leading mem
bers of the Council have been devoting
their leisure moments TO the study of the
arguments in favor of the gravity system
contained in the reports of the commit
tee and the city engineer and some pun
gent conundrums will be propounded as
TO the necessity OF the establishment of
settling basins, the depth OF the sand
beds, the rate of filtration and the fire.
quent renewal of the filter beds which,
in the absence OF Shedd's plans and speci-
fications, may test his knowledge of these
subjects to its utmost tension. These
members are desirous OF obtaining more
light than has been voucbsafed thus far,
and whatever system is adopted they in
tend to thoroughly get at the
bottom facts as TO expenditure
and utility under local conditions.
Ii is confidently believed that a ma
jority of the Council will vote tor indefi-
mite postpenement OF the resolution and
that delay will prove the wisest course in
view of the elements of uncertainty
which enter into the solution of the
question under its present aspects.

Constable John Johnson arrived in
Livingston from Red Lodge Tuesday
morning in charge of Frank Ladhoff
who shot and killed Patrick Cannon
at that place Monday morning. The
prisoner waived a preliminary ex-
animation at Red Lodge and was
bound over to the district court.
The Red Lodge constable says
the killing occurred at z o'clock
the previous morning in Martin
Johnson's saloon, in the presence of
six or seven men. All the parties
had been drinking freely, but there
had been no quarrel. The first in
timation anyone had that trouble ex-
isted between the two men was upon
L.adhoff pulling 3S-callibre revolv
er and shot Cannon. The ball enter
ed Cannon's left eye and penetrated
the brain. Death was instantaneous.
I.adhoff gave himself up TO the
city marshal and said that he acted
in self defense.
The prisoner was seen in Jail here
Tuesday by a reporter, but he de-
clined to say a word about the shoot
ing. He is 81 years old and has a
wife and three children residing in
Red Lodge. He is cowboy by oc.
cupatlon.
The deceased was single man
43 years old, and formerly worked
at the Cokedale mines. The county
attorney will file an information il
the district court in this city tomor
row, charging Ladhoff with murde
in the first degree.
