ANOTHER MEETING
Held by the Aldermaaie Committee Relative to
the DRY" Plug-Major Miner
and Chief MuIIin Heard.

The special committee of the city coun-
ell charged with the investigation of the
fire week ago which destroyed Solicit
tor Littles house held another meeting
yesterday afternoon.
The committee consists of Alderman
Gillespie, chairman, and aldermen Nc
Cartin, Kettig and Enslen and Mayor
VanHoose.
The committee met at O'Clock and
after short addresses by Maj. w. ]. Mil
ner superintendent of the waterworks
company, and Chief Thad Mullin of the
fire department, went into executive ses-
sion.
Major Miner, in addressing the COM
mittee, said he was there not to blame
the fire department for anything they had
done or failed to do but to defend the
WaterWorks company against charges
that had been brought against them. He
said the contention of the water company
was that all they have to do is to exer-
cise-ordinary diligence in supplying wa
ter for the purposes specified in the con-
tract. He said the question was whether
the valve in the fire hydrant to which
the hose was attached that night was
open or closed, and, If closed, whose fault
II was. He cOntended that if closed no
agent of the water company had closed
it; that they had had no occasion to do
So He presented the contract between
the town of Highlands and the water.
works company, and handed the chair
man an ordinance which he desired TO
have adopted by the council.
Chief Mullin said he didn't think the
fire department needed aly defense.
Thy had done all they We're required to
do to save the building. 1t was not their
duty to look after the valves in fact,
most of the valves were under the
ground and their exact location unknown
to the firemen
Before hearing the arguments of Major
Miner and Chief Mullin, Mayor Van
Hoose requested that Mr.. Forbes give
his experience with a water pipe con-
nected with the closet in Colonel Shep-
ards house. Mr.. Forbes told of the pipe
being stopped up with mud and of the
trouble he had in opening it,
AT the conclusion of the arguments of
Major Miner and Chief Mullln the COM
mittee went into executive session. The
two reporters and three or four spcta-
tors were asked to leave the room and
then the committee enterd into a discus
sion of the matter. They did not dis
cuss it long, however, before adjourn
ing indefinitely. And thus the matter
now stands

him: "Dave, don't come out so far"
and soon after Capt. Williams warned
him to not expose himself; but the boy
did not seem to realize his danger, and
the third or fourth time he stepped
out he was shot through the head and
killed, Two of the men dragged him
back 10 cover, and for about ten min
utcs we kept on firing when we could
get shot.
