TWO WARRANTS AGAINST HIM.
Colby Horne Drives Around Town to the Dan.
ger Of Pedestrians.

After narrowly escaping running
over two women and cOlliding with a
team Colby Horne was arrested by City
Marshal Call and carried to the police
station.
Horne attracted the attention of
every one on the street, yesterday af-
ternOn, by driving around at a break
neck pace. During the first part of the
afternoon he had single horse. Lat
err he became tired of such slow To-
comotion and bringing out his pair
drove up and down in the street at
pace that caused many to hold their
breaths from fear
He continued his work until 5
O'Clock and at that time was driving on
Silver street. When part way down
the street two women attempted %
cross the street. Before they reached
the opposite side Horne drove UP and
came SO near running over the women
that the bystanders thought a serious
accident unavoidable. A short time
afterwards he collided with Young's
bakery team and during the mix up a
shaft OF the bakery team was broken
City Marshal Call at once started
towards the man to make the arrest.
When Horne saw him coming lie
started to run. The marshal at ono,
gathered Horne in and the man was
placed in the station. Two warrants,
one charging him with fast driving
and the other with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct, We're sworn out
against him.

HEARINGS TO Be GRANTED.
That the Work Of Laying Main Street Side.
walk Nay Be Pushed.

Within very short time it Is to be
decided what will be done about laying
the sidewalks on the westerly side of
Main street above Spauldings store.
Since the curbing has been placed in
position there is distince dividing line
between the street and sidewalk. 1t is
the wish of the city government to
finish the work at once. Should the
sidewalk be raised to the level of the
street it would be necessary for some
of the store keepers on that side of the
street to arrange for different en-
frances to the store.
Conferences with the owners of the
property have already been held but no
definite conclusions have yet been ar
rived at. 1t is the plan of the
members of the city government to
give the property owners a hearing the
first of the week so that it may be
learned what course will be pursued.
One of the aldermen in speaking of
the matter. yesterday morning, said
that there is a possibility that some of
the property holders will raise their
buildings in order that the buildings
may conform to the level of the street
In the case of the wooden buildings no
difficulty. Will be experienced. With the
brick buildings it is not known what
will be done. Ip..
On the opposite side oirihe street the
walk will be laid short distance
above Loud's shoe store. Whatever is
done by the property owners it is the
purpose of the city government to be-
gin work in very short time that the
work may be completed before the lat
ter part of the fall.
The land damages have been paid so
that there will not be the slightest
trouble on that score.
One of the members of the city gov
ernment in speaking Of the matter of
land damages advanced the idea that
the abutters ought to be obliged to pay
part of the expense incurred from
making permanent improvements. the
same as in other places. BY this means
the city government would not be
flooded with petitions as at the pres
ent time.
In speaking further of the matter he
said that not great while ago petit
tfons were put in for a sewer in q
certain locality. all the signers of the
petition promising to enter the sewer.
When the sewer was laid only a very
small part of the petitioners entered
the sewer. In consequence the city
was Obliged to pay the bills
With the adoption of this method
which Is the same as that used in other
places. the city would have more
money with which to make permanent
improvements and better satisfaction
to the citizens would be given by the
city government.
