-olicitor decided to defer action until the
next meeting. The Health Officer said
the place is practically in the same CON
dition as it was when the Board made its
visit. An attempt was made to in
stitute proceedings against the husband
for maintaining a nuisance, but the
Justice consulted refused TO act until he
could receive some guarantee as to the
payment of his costs.
President Spalding read the law CON
ferring powers on Boards of Health aud
he members agreed with him that the
Horricks case certainly came within the
jurisdiction Of the Board, still it was
deemed advisable to consult the Solicitor

dent said there was no doubt in his mind
that Mrs Horricks was of unsound mind
and unfit to have charge of a household.

siiered, but melted away when the

ship, passengers and all luggage will un
| doubtedly be well disinfected before any
one is allowed to depart from the infected
part of the ship.

The Foot Race.

When the church bell rang out last
Sunday calling the good people of De-
Lamar to attend divine services while
there was still chance for repentance,
nearly thousand people we're standing
on the street waiting to see the handi-
cap foot race which had been adver-
tised to come of. There was hum
dred dollar purse to be gathered in by
fellow who could start at pistol shot
and be the firstt to reacha string 100 yards
away, and we venture to say that not
ono person in ten there heard the bell
ringing, and the tenth one who did
hear it never gave il passing thought.
A fellow with wheels in his head, who
had recently been released from the
Coxey prison camp, was making vain
endeavor to harrangue the crowds of
people while eyer and anon the deputy
sheriff was trying to hush him up. The
people eli bed on lum Der piles or stood
along the sides of the street awaiting an
event which was to consume dozen
seconds time. The report of the pistol
finally was heard, and six men who were
toeing scratches, started for the string.
The FIRST scratch was 100 yards from the
string, with Cutter on it, Freeburn and
Daley we're three yards nearer, Prout
four and Haynes nine. Prout won the
race by yard, Cutter coming in sec
ond and the balance strung along be-
hind the barber who only went in for
fun, bringing up the rear of the pro-
cession. 1t was very pretty race and
the people were all satisfied for their
two hours wait for the start. Such is
life in mining camp in the Far West.
