possible to transact any business in the
absence Of q quorum. They accordingly
adjourned until the next regular meeting.

There is more trouble in the old town
but this time it is over the school cleo
ton. The votes were counted several
times at the polls and the election board
returns showed that Gervais had 81 votes
and Cartwright 90, for school clerk.
That was the final decision at the time
but several days later-sfter the ballots
and tally sheets had been taken from the
polls-returns Of tie vote were made.
Dairyman Tom Wheeler reversed the
usual order of things on Wednesday
morning. Instead of watering his milk
he found he had been filling an irrigating
ditch with choice tactical fluid. How
ever, he was not to blame. His horse
wanted drink, walked into the tail race
near the residence Of Edward White, and
upset the whole wagon load Of milk into
the stream. That is why several OF
Wheeler's customers were disappointed
yesterday in not securing the usual
morning supply.
Over six thousand dollars was tender
ed Sewer Contractor Schmidt couple of
years ago in settlement OF his contract,

to trial in the superior court and a de-
cision was rendered against him. He

Whitson & Parker, who with Messrs.
Reavis & Milroy, were the attorneys for
the city, received telegram stating that
the supreme court had affirmed the de-
cision OF the lower court. The attorneys
feel greatly elated at the decision; Mayor
and his rascally methods, is in high

great satisfaction at the outcome, for, as
Attorney Reavis remarked, q reversal OF
the decision OF the lower court might have
cost the city in the neighborhood of $751;

less than the estimates.

Mr.. w. L. Steinweg on Tuesday struck
well-and more OF that fluid is now pour
ing from well No. than from the
other two. This flow is the result of
three borings, and taps the third water
bearing vein. The first vein fed an g.

last one only finch tube yet the water
shoots above the top Of the iron piping
fully Ia inches-a remarkable statemen t
when it is remembered that it is forced
from a small tube into larger ones, in :
stead of being condensed at the top as is
usual when fountain "spurt" is desired.
