A Number of Ordinances
Adopted
WHERE IS THE CHAIN GANG =?
ds IT AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE
CoUNCILMENp
Several New Sewers Wanted-Bridges
to Be Repaired-The Rejection
Of Fire Hose Bids

The regular session Of the city coun-
Gil yesterday was devoid of unusual fea-
lures, and the business which was con-
sidered was almost entirely of routine
nature. Much of ii was important to
the property owv,ers, but in all the prin-
cipal measures the action of the council
had been anticipated.
The message from Mayor Snyder
vetoing the amended boiler inspection
ordinance and the passage of that ordi-
nance over the veto, was about the only
unusual incideCat of the morning session,
except possibly the inquiry that was
made as to what ha0 become of the
chain gang, this latter inquiry being
made in ORDER that the practice Of order
ing the gang to certain portions Of the
city at the request of certain council
men, may be stopped
The sweeping ordinance and the hitch
ing ordinance, which were expected to
be presented, did not appear.
Most of the time at the afternoon ses-
sion was consumed in hearing protests
against the acceptance of certain street
work, but after the hearing, the protests
were not fisaally disposed Of. The bal
ance of the session was devoted to the
considera ton Of reports Of officers and
communications with reference to streets
and other kindred subjects

FOUR QUACKINa DUCKS
Cause CONSERVATION in a Court Room
of Department One

Emil Perret and Henry Brown, pair
Of 14-year-old urchins, stood side by
side in the police court yesterday after
noon while Justice Morrison read with
due solemnity complaint charging the
lads with, on October 8, "willfully, un-
lawfully and feloniously stealing four
ducks from the affiant, Robert O'Con-
nor" At the conclusion of the reading
the justice said: You have heard the
reading of the complaint; what plea do
you wish to enter to it?'
What dye mean?" asked Emil.
Are you guilty or not guilty?" the
justice explained.
well. 1 didn't steal no ducks" as
serted Emil, boldly. OF course Henry
didn't, either.
"Do you want a jury trial?"was asked.
whats that?" asked the inquisitive
Emil
then Emil said: oh, guess we don't
want no jury. 1 guess you'll do"
Bail was fixed at $50 each.
Deputy Constable Menzer started
down to the Jail with the boys, and on
the way the lads concluded that they
had better go back, plead. guilty and
take their chances Of getting off light.
A few minutes later they appeared
before Justice Owens. Four Quacking
ducks were brought into the courtroom.
Their legs being united, all set out on
tour of inspection Of Justice Owens
quarters. 1t was thought hardly be-
fitting the dignity of the court to have
brood of ducks Tapping around, and
an attempt was made to catch them.
The chase proved an exciting one, in
which attorneys, deputy constables and
police officers Joined. Before the ducks
were overcome they came near creating
a furore in the courtroom. They were
finally caught and their legs again tied.
The lads pleaded guilty Of "willfully, un-
lawfully and feloniously" stealing the
ducks and will appear today for SEN
tence.
