Sneak Thieves.

Morris in the past few days appears
to have contracted a contagion of
sneak thievery. Yesterday noon two
fur overcoats we're purloined from the
Gaffney house while the people we're
at dinner. The coats belonged to Mr..
Riley and John Corcoran, who live in
the southwestern part of the county.
One of the coats was found in a cul-
vert below town, and in searching
for the coats the marshal found two
new vests and coat hidden in a
straw stack, The latter were evident
ly stolen from some other town and
brought here to be disposed of.
This town is infested with the very
toughest kind of tramps, and they
should be shown no quarters what
ever. They should not be allowed to
stop in town long enough to draw a
long breath.

Catholic Fair.

The Catholic fair opened yesterday
with very promising prospects, being
we'll patronized. They have an ex-

filed with fancy articles that it fairly
puts on gala appearance. The pro-
ceeds of the fair go towards the
church, and every body should patro-
nize them and help along worthy
cause The fair will continue the
rest of this week, and all are cordially
invited to attend.

The marshal and several others
fixed up a neat trap to ensnare the
willy coons, but they we're two sharp

of what was supposed to be very
drunken farmer driving home from

concealed in the bottom of the wagon,
but there were no coons in sight.
Word was sent to Herman, where
they were arrested Saturday morning
as soon as they entered town and
brought back to Morris. Their trial
will be held today in Justice court.

on the outskirts of town just below
the creamery and succeeded in re-
lieying him of S1,25 in money, plug

of the council, but that bills for other
than necessaries would not be binding.
Sang's motion was lost by a tie vote.
Jefferson introduced resolution to
have notice given through the papers
that no more bills would be paid unless
ordered by the council. The motion
carried, 8 to 7; but was afterwards on
motion of Alderman Crosswiller recon.
sidered by vote of 10 to 6, and then
laid on the table.
The right of way to the Lakewood
pump house occasioned some more dis
cussion. Hale wanted to arbitrate;
somebody else wanted the city attorney
to get an order from the court to permit
the city to take in material pending the
settlement of the present dispute, in
connection with which there has been
an Injunction issued to prevent the rail-
road from using the spur track. Tho
matter went over. ...

against the Duluth street railway CON-

Simpson that the city attorney take
steps to compel its payment. The latter
said he was preparing papers in sppli-
cation for the appointment of q receiver.
Richardson asked why Simpson wanted
this resolution passed. The latter re-
torted: because some of the gentle-
men connected with the Duluth street
railway say we are busted city. and
here they owe us nearly 5000. Simp.

Receiver for Street Railway
Company-mayor on For.
fitted Tax Sale Law,

The meeting of the city council Mon
day evening, except in spots, was too
dull to talk about.
Among the communications was one
from the mayor in regard to the for
feited tax sale law. The mayor de-
nounces the law as infamous because it
discriminates against one class of citi-
zens for the benefit Of another; also be-
cause it makes the state preferred
creditor. Outside property owners, the
mayor says, are being advised by their
agents not to pay their taxes, as under
this law eventually they can escape all
city and county taxes by buying in their
property when sold for the amount of
the claims of the state. He recon
mended that the county and city con-
jointly test the constitutionality of the
law. The communication was referred
to the city attorney. i
Much discussion originated over
claim for timber furnished the city by
John. Mcdonnell for crib on railroad
street. Mcdonnell also superintended
the building of the crib. and as the
charter forbids the furnishing of mater
ial by parties in the employ of the city
the claim had been held up, but when
suit was brought the court decided that
the claim was valid because the contract
was made prior to the employment of
the contractor as superintendent. The
city attorney told the council that the
original contract on which the court
had found for the plaintiff was an oral
contract and that no oral contract with
the city was valid. 1t developed during
the discussion that while the city had a
technical defense there was no evidence
Of fraud and the matter was referred to
the committee on claims and accounts,
by whom it's payment will probably be
advised. On Sang's amendment to in
struct the city attorney to take an ap.
peal. only one vote was cast in the
affirmative. " i ......
AS usual the fire department came in
for it's regular roast, and if an assertion
of Alderman Sang be true it was richly
deserved. The kick was on the failure
of the fire commissioners to include in
their monthly report a statement of the
needs of the department for the month
to come. Sang explained his motion by
saying that at time whom the depart
ment was purchasing 1871 worth of
mattresses and $71.35 worth of springs
it was also cutting down the mems
wages S. per month. He referred with
some sarcasm to the bill of the tire CON-
missioners for % single mattresses,
listed at $3.50 apiece. He said that so
long as So tables were purchased for the
men to lean on when reading and since
$3.50 chairs were provided for them to
sit in there was probably some consist
ency in buying $3.50 mattresses for
them to sleep on. .> ta ...+

saries were legal without the approval
