The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-05-28

Mr.. Ledford's bid was nearly 81, 900
less than the next lowest bid Inc 1t
was voted to award him the contract.
Messrs. A. T. Morgan and Charles
H.. Lane of the board of school trus-
tees appeared before the committee i'm
regard to a change of grade on East
Galena street In the vicinity of Allan
tic street. The trustees have Just pur-
chased some lots at the corne of these
streets and are preparing to erect n
school building 100 feet front and 20
feet in depth. The lots are several feet
above grade. and it would he necessary
for the trustees either to slice off three
or o feet from the surface of the
lots or build steps up tn the building
from the street. If the grade were
raised. however. they would be level
with the street. The grade has already
been established. but Mr.. Morgan
thought the change in the grade
would better suit 90 per cent of the
property owners. Alderman Kelly
thought that most of the property
owners would he better pleased with
the change of grade. but some would
not be pleased, and to change the
grade without their consent would
evolve law suits. as in the case of the
East Park street grading.
Alderman Pascal said the only thing
to he lone was to nave a petition for
this change in grade and have APP
praisers appointed to see what bene-
fits would accrue from the change. The
trustees opposed the plan. as they
said IL would necessitate a delay of
several weeks. and the trustees must
have their building completed bv the
time the schools open in the fall. 1t
was decided to have a Joint committee
of aldermen and trustees go down to
that vicinity and interview the resi-
dents and see whether there is any
objection to the change in grade.
The petition for grading and side
walks on Covert street was referred
to the city engineer for further infor-
nation.
Further time was asked on the petit
tion of George Bartlett and Frank la
Blanche for moving a shed at the
southeast corner of Second and George
streets.

CAPTAIN HEALEY'S FUNERAL. Last Tribute of Respect to tbe
 Popular Officer.

The funeral of the late Captain H. &. Healey, clerk to the Police Commission CTS, was held from his residence, Eff teenth and Mission streets, to Cypress Lawn Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
 The services at the residence and at the grave were conducted by Rev. Dr. Rader. The Police Choral Society sang. Still: Still With Thee" and To, the Seal of Death Is Breaking" at the house, and brought tears to the eyes of many of the mourners by the pathetic manner in which they were rendered.
 Three companies, under the command respectively of Captains Whitman, Spill lane and Gillen, acted as an escort, and among those at the funeral were Chief Lees, ex-Chief Crowley, Auditor Brod- erick and Police Commissioner Gunst.
 There were large number of beautiful and costly floral offerings. The pall-bear- CTS were: Sergeants Donovan, M. O. An derson and G. B. Baldwin; Policemen T. c. Murphy, O. B. Merrick. O. c. Phillips, S. Orr, R. Graham and J. l.. Murphy, and Detective Harry Reynolds.
 The Police Commissioners met last night but immediately adjourned out of respect to the memory of Captain Healey

cltx Irustees, MeetIna

ALAMEDA. Jan. 26.-The Board of City Trustees met in committee of the whole last evening to discuss various matters of public interest. The question of widening Railroad avenue to conform with the grade throughout was taken up. and it was conceded that something should be done, but no plan was formulated. The proposed change in the making of requi- sitions and the purchase and delivery of supplies came up. and 1t was found that the system was already in operation in some of the departments. while in others the Trustees had. no control. The fact developed that no change could be made unless it were brought about by the Treasurer refusing to cash warrants on the ground that due precaution had not been used in making them out. It is probable that something of this kind will be done and that the safeguards in use in banks with a similar object will be adopted in the citys business to prevent forgery and raising of warrants. as has been the done in the case of the library Incidentally it was decided that the H. brary books should be exported during the period that MT. Harbourne was libra rian.

HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS.
Proposition to Be Made to BoDd tbe City for S75.000 to Pay
 for O New Building.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 26-A joint meeting of the Board of Education and the special committee of thirteen appointed to de- wise ways and means for relieving the overcrowded condition of the public schools was held last evening. President Scott of the board addressed the gather ing. He favored a new High School building, and said that the proposition was to have a bond issue of S75 900, of which s5O.O00 would be expended in the new building. s10.000 for lot for 1t and the remainder for fixtures and improve ments upon the old structures. The mat ter was gone into at considerable length and Suprintendent Sullivan went into de- tail to show the reasons why new build ing of the kind proposed for the accom- modation of the High School was de- sirable.
 It was finally decided that the commit tee should be given an object lesson upon the condition of the department, and it was planned that they should visit the various schools and see for themselves their needs. This will be done on Satur- day next, and the committee will meet again next Tuesday evening.

IN THE REALTY BROKERS REALM Dealers Encouraged by Good Inquiry During
 the Week.
!" Inside" Property Has the Upper Hand, While Country
 Lands Go Slowly.
Only Small Sales Reported Of Late. Record Review, Auctions and
 Random Notes.

When real estate prices are low there always seems a disposition on the part of intending purchasers to hold aloof and wait until the market has reached bedrock, in which cheerless state it has been for many moons. But when the tide turns buyers rush, helter- -skelter, to purchase before the change for the better becomes very marked.
 Dealers predict that the turning point is here, evidenced by better sales, bet ter inquiry and a far better outlook Inquiry, showing as it does that sales will soon follow, has been especially good for the past week. The market, however, is practically only for in side' lands as yet. Country lands go slowly, and generally sales are for large tracts.
 It is confidently expected that the present Klondike excitement will con- tribute its quota to help the scales lower on the side of prosperity in the realty line. Several large sales may be reported by next week.

RESULT OF 4
 CONFESSION
F. c. Kretzer Charged With Murder by the
 Police.
He Threw a Brick at Charles ( KOelling With Fatal
 Effect.

Frank c. Kretzer was formally charged with murder at the City Pris on yesterday by Detectives Dillon and Reynolds who have been for some days working on the case.
 When Kretzer was arrested in Val lejo on a warrant charging him with burglary in Fresno he confessed, as was then stated exclusively in The Call, that he had murdered Charles c. Koel- ling in this city on May 30, 1895. It was thought at first that Kretzer was simply "bluffing" to escape being ta- ken to Fresno, but subsequent develop ments showed that he was telling the truth.
 The detectives found an important witness yesterday. Seldon Orchard, a bricklayer, was foreman at the time for Koelling. He stated yesterday that he remembered Kretzer and three or four other men coming to 943 Folsom street, where Koelling and his men were building an oven. Kretzer be- gan to criticize the mems work and called them "scabs." Koelling ordered him away, but he refused. Koelling then attempted to eject him, but failed KOelling went to the Southern police station and made a complaint against hretzer, put was told to swear to a warrant for his arrest in the Police Court.
 Koelling returned to the building and Kretzer and his friends had gone. About an hour later, when the men were knocking off work, Kretzer re- turned, and seizing a brick threw 1t at Koelling. It struck him on the head, knocking him down. Kretzer ran home and remained in hiding for a few days till he learned that Koelling had died. He left the city and went to Vacaville. Detective Dan Coffey went there after him, but some of his friends gave him the tip and he skipped out for Suisun. From Suisun he went to Woodland then to Sacramento and finally settled in Fresno, where he is wanted for burglary.
 The police will also have the evil dence of Dr. Kuegler who attended koelling, and of Koelling's widow who IS at present housekeeper at the Golden west Hotel. Besides these there will be the witnesses who testified at the Coroner's inquest

MANAGER BROWN
 BECOMES BOLD
Openly Attacks the Athletics Committee of the
 Faculty.
Declares That They Are Not Work ing for the Interests of Uni
 versity Athletics.

BERKELEY, Jan. 26.-Everett J. Brown was to-day unanimously reelected foot ball manager for the season of 1S9S In his speech of acceptance Brown vigor- ously roasted the athletics committee of the faculty as al present constituted.
 Professors Bacon, Clapp and Edwards are the members of the escommittee which Brown declares is not acting in the inter- ests of athletics nor trying to benefit true sport. There is a growing sentiment at the university in favor of reconstructing the committee, with Professors Edwards, Magee and Cloman as members. Presi- dent Kellogg will probably soon be re- quested to make the change.
 There has been considerable friction be- tween Brown as football manager and Professors Bacon and Clapp. Browns recent attack on Yale men and Yale methods was supposed to have been aimed at Clapp and Bacon, both of whom are Yale alumni.
