he was unsatisfactory, and appointed
Mrs. Elliott to the place. This action
was confirmed
The matter of fitting up the basement
of the Second street school Boyle
Heights) FOR Sloyd work was called up,
but after debate was laid over for one
week to get an estimate of the cost.
A change in the French text books
used IN the High school was recon-
mended by the superintendent and al
lowed, after Mr.. Bartlett had satisfied
himself that no hardship would result to
the pupils by reason of the expense. and
that they would not be burdened by ad-
ditional studies.
Mr.. Bartlett called attention to the
condition of the Olive street school
grounds, saying that the board had a
desperate case to deal with, and on mo-
tion, after lengthy debate, the build
ing committee was instructed to pre-
sent plans and specifications for a re-
tanning wall and for properly draining
the lot.
The rules were suspended, and the SUI
perintendent was authorized to instruct
teachers to announce Y. M. C. A. lectures
in the schools.
ANOTHER MIX-UP.
Mr.. Webb called attention to the con-
dition of the new buildings. which in
many cases were without fences, and
were open to depredations by tramps,
cattle, etc. He therefore moved that
one new building in each ward be fenced
and the lot graded, such building to be
designated by the ward member, and the
work to be done under the direction of
the building committee. This motion
caused another clash. The minority
thought that the matter should be re-
ferred to the committee for estimates,
etc. The majority wanted the work to
go ahead at once as valuable time was
being lost. After all of the members had
spoken, and Mr.. Adams had gone on
record in favor of tree planting and Mr..
Mclnerny had declared in favor of the
work being done by day labor, a vote
was taken, and the motion prevailed
by vote of 6 to 3.
After appointing an auditing COM
mittee, consisting of Dr. Mathis and
Messrs. Bartlett and Conrey to expert

Sepron Lee. very black man, was
tried before Police Justice Morrison YES

deadly weapon in threatening manner
toward w. L. Seeley. This was another
chapter of the Happy Valley feud that

Seeley to take up the horse and have him

1T FAXED THE FELLOWS.
The Alleged Dancing Joint Was Plain
Fizzle.

The fake dancing that was carried on
in the room that was the National Con-
cert hall, on n. Main street, gave a last
performance Saturday evening. The
murdered Bellew and his uncle saw the
farewell performance. A loud-mouthed
tout at the door had drawn many men
within on his promise that a couchee-
couchee dance was in progress. with all
it's variations 1t was finte6 rather than
asserted that the dance was very very
raw"
Az the show was "for men only" it
was considered necessarily naughty.
What, then, was the disgust of men who
paid their adnisssion price only to see
two very plain-faced girls singing II
Wonder Why. l Wonder Why" That
is all they did There was no dancing,
no coucheecouchee, no nothing that
was naughty. though the singing was
vile The only redeeming feature was
that there was very little of 1t.
The show played at the same stand
to Saturday night and then it stopped.
1t was not suppressed. for there was
nothing to suppress. It just fizzled, out.

illegal acts of the surveyor and the super
