ceived them when the time was up, but
the council had thrown out oil the bids
because the HERALD'S bid was the
lowest.
There was q general looking around
by the mayor and some OF the brethren.
They didn't know what to say or do;

made in cash or interest bearing script.
Nothing was done.
Mr.. Drummer said that tho water
company had done nothing towards
putting in the two new fire plugs ask
ed for on Missouri street. Mr.. Brun-
ner said that the reason of the delay
was that the exact location of one Of
the plugs was IS feet from the place
designated and the water works COM
pany had refused to put the pipe down
without extra pay of SOL.
Chairman Drummer recommended
that the money be paid to the company
and the pipe be put in. Carried.

bond as the fence to the park was
down in several places and the cows

to be collected. No action was
taken.

YESTERDAYS SUICIDE.
The Young iSpanlard Took His Life
Because He Mas Despondent.

Florentino Perez, the young Span
lard who committed suicide in Jus.ez
Yesterday, as announced in the HER
AID, had been in the employ of Felix
Brsunschwig at the "City of London"
store sbout two months.
1t is supposed that he killed himself
early yesterday morning, though NO
one knows at what moment the fatal
shot was fred by the Respondent young
man.
Perez occupied room at the rear of
Braunschwig's store. He was dis
charged the previous evening and the
indications are that he became despOn-
dent and imbibed considerable coRuac.
He retired as usual that night, so far
as Is known, and was not seen the fol-
lowing morning.
A clerk employed in the store went
to the room occupied by Perez at noon
to invite him out to dine. He knocked
on the door and receiving no response
from within, pushed it open. He was
Mortified to see Perez lying upon the
bed with his eyes wide open and q
deadly pallor on his face. A large pis-
tol was grasped in his right

they be replaced with two nine (actual
horse power gasoline engines and two
No. Centrifugal pumps, that Is to say
| two Centrifugal pumps with 8 inch
suction and 6 inch discharge, the same
being in the opinion of Jour committee
the best and most economical machin
cry that the city could use for said pur
pose.
| "Your committee would also recon-
mend that the grounds be fenced in
and the old framed house be moved to
the back OF said grounds and placed so
as to front on Second street and that a
| small brick house suitable for the pro-
lection Of engines, pumps, tools, etc.,
be built where the old frame house
now stands.
"Your committee would recommend
that the frame house be offered to
some responsible party free of rent In
consideration of them taking good care
of the grounds, building, and machinery
and oil other things belonging to or
connected with said sewer pumpip &
station"
Alderman Badger said that the COM
mittee didn't want the city to build q
fancy house for the pumps and by a
careful calculation they thought that
81, 600 would cover all the expenses of
the house and the machinery.
Alderman Barton moved that the
report be received and filed and that
the present committee be authorized
to receive bids for the new machinery.
Carried.
The clerk read petition from the
Santa F'e railroad per F. B. Houghton
asking that the city place an electric
light on Santa Fe street near the depot
for the benefit OF the public. The
matter was referred to the proper
committee.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Under the head of new business
the mayor reported upon the pest
house matter, and then made a recon-
mendation that the board of health be
kept up, and to fill the vacancies on
the original one he would appoint
Judge 9. N. Buckler and @. r. More
head. Alderman Clifford moved that
the mayors appointments be confirm
ed. The motion carried.
WASHINGTON DRIVING PARK.
Alderman Clifford stated to the
council that "a number of horsemen
wanted to take hold of the Washington
driving park and before doing 30 they
were waiting to find out what the city
was going to do about collecting the
81, 900 bond with the previous associa-
tion, which had been made under an
agreement to keep up the property
this they had failed to do. Mr.. Cliff
ford said there were some good men on

GILLETT CAQTURED(?)
Eastern Press Had a Hot Tip Last
NIGHT That The Cattle King Had
Been CAUGHT In Mexico.

Been Caught In Mexico.
The telegraph wires across the
mountains and plains from Ell Paso to
| the Metropolitan cities of the east were
kept warm last night in an endeavOl
on the part of the great dailies to In
duce their Ell Paso correspondents to
furnish them full details of the arrest
of Gillett in Mexico.
They were under the impression
that Gillett had been caught at
Chihuahua; but message
cent from here to Chihuahua BY
a correspondent brought back the
response that nothing was known there
of Gillett's ecapture.
The managing editors of the various
dsilies then concluded that the missing
cattle king had been caught some
where in the southwest, but they
we're at loss to know where and urged
upon their correspondents here the i'm
possible task of finding out and sup
plying the information.
A dispatch sent out from Kansas
City last night and printed in the
Times this morning indicates that the
belief that Gillett had been captured
was we'll founded. It is as follows:
Kansas City, Dec. lit is stated
Kansas cattle man whose financial col
lapse last week revealed the fact that
in less than three years he had piled
up Indebtedness of more than one and
one half million dollars, is under arrest
somewhere in the southwest"
Charles A. Shaeffer, president of the
George Holmes Commission company,
swOre out a warrant here today, charg-
ing Gillett with obtaining S19, 800 by
false pretenses. The warrant was plac-
ed in the hands of an officer, and the
officer left the city tonight.
M. A. Pike, attorney for the Holme:
company, tonight made this staten ent
"Gillett Is under arrest in Mexico. An
officer has gone for him. and we will get
him back, we hope, at "a very early
date.''
SIN other quarters it is stated almost
as positively that Gtllett Is not in
Mexico, but he is in custody on Amer
lean soil; that he has q large sum Of
money In his possession, ana that his
csptors are negotiating with his cred
itors here to exact stated percentage
of the money rs their price for turn
ing Gillett and funds over to his Gre
ditors.
1t was stated quite positively here
tonight that Gillett is under arrest at
chihuahua, Mexico, but the statement
could not be confirmed, and at q late
hour the Journal received a dispatch
from the jefe ,politico at chihuahua,
stating 80 far 81 known Gillett W al not
in custody there"
