TOOK NO ACTION.
Fire Committee Meet to Consider the Re-
signation of Two of the City Firemen.

Aldermen Pirsch, Schultz and Pred
dis of the fire department committee
of the city council, together with Chief
Barr met last evening for the purpose
Of considering the designations of Capt.
Eifer and Jack Rice which were re-
Gently presented. The meeting resulted
in no final action on account of the
fact that the committee is not as yet
in possession of the facts in the case.
The members of the committee are very
reticent in regard to the work of the
committee and all that is given out is
the fact that another meeting will be
held on next Sunday afternoon to
further consider the question. From
one of the members of the committee it
was learned that no charges of any
nature had been brought against either
of the men. 1t was also learned that
the committee was divided as to the
report that should be made to the coun-
Gil on the matter. One of the members
said that it looked very much as if it
would be necessary to let both of the
men out, but that an effort would be
made to arrange matters in such a way
that both men could be retained in the
employ of the city. Neither, Rice or
Eif1er, was present at the meeting.

William Johnson who is employed at
the Griffin barn met with very pain
full accident this morning. He was
cutting open a bag of oats when the

Gently bought by the Chicago &

settled.
Mrs. P. J. Dei1man had one of her
hands badly cut Saturday evening
while making an attempt to raise
window at her home on Park avenue.
The window stuck at the bottom and in
attempting to release it Mrs. Dei1man

Internal revenue officer Roberts, of
Racine, is in the city, inspecting the
books of the Register of Deeds, to see
that the war tax is properly paid on all
documents. He states that he has
found no irregularities since the law
was properly interpreted, but previous
to then some documents had been filed
without the proper stamps being affix-
ed. The people interested in these
transfers will be required to have the
stamps placed on the deeds.
A te1e, ram has been received stating
that the train bearing President Nc
Kin1ey will arrive in this city next
Tuesday at 1905 p. m. The President
will come on a special train and will
remain about fifteen minutes. Thus
far no action has been taken toward
making any arrangements for the well
come of the distinguished guests, but
plans are being considered and the
reception will undoubtedly be one
worthy of the event.
The Kenosha Choral society has for
ma11y disbanded for the year. The
committee which was recently APP
pointed to wait on Mr.. Nc Dowe11 and
attempt to secure his services as di-

mission and the society will not con-
slider the election of another leader.
The society will still retain it's charter
and is adjourned to meet subject to the
call of the officers. One of the officers
stated today that an effort would be
made to re-organize next year.

A popular and witty minister,
on ascending the steps of the
church one Sunday afternoon, saw
an old woman struggling against
rheumatics to reach the top Of
the steps, and at once taking her
by the arm he gently assisted her
up. On reaching the top, she
asked him who WAS to preach.
ooh. Rev. b." he replied, Civ
ing his own name. ooh, gra-
cIOus' exclaimed the old woman,
"help ne down again. l would
rather listen to a man sharpening
n saw. Please help me down
again. l do not care to 90 in"
The minister was at first inclined
to refuse, but humor of the sltua-
tion tickled him, and he remarked
as he reached the bottom of the
steps, "You are quite right, my
good woman; | would not go in
myself if | was not paid for it. 3"

CHARLES STEGMAN DEAD.

The Young Man Passes Away at an
Early Hour This Morning
Charles Stegman. who was fatally
injured in a runaway accident near
the home of Mr.. Crawford, about
seyen miles from the ferry landing,
on Monday night, died at Mr.. Craw-
ford's home at an early hour this
morning.
1t appears that the deceased in
company with his fathers hired men
came to The Dalles with wool on
Monday and was returning home when
the accident occurred.
One of the men was driving the first
wagon while young Stegman was
driving another team close behind.
A sack of salt fell from the first wagon
and Stegman's team cook fright and
run out of the road into rock break
throwing the young man from the
seat, under the wagon. The heavy
vehicle passed over his body at the
chest and dislocated his left elbow.
In the fall he received severe scalp
wound and death was in all probabili-
ty caused by severe internal injuries
in the chest and abdomen.
The unfortunate young man was
son OF Henry. .Stegman of Happy Home
precinct, and was seventeen years of
age. He was an honorable and up
right young man and his sad and un.
timely end has greatly grieved his
many friends and acquaintances.
The funeral will be held at Golden
dale tomorrow morning.

The Boy With q Gun.

The imam with hoe' is attracting
universal attention throughout the
land, but in The Dalles the boy with a
gun is under consideration just new.
Some parents have indiscreetly put
rifles into the hands of their boys
without impressing upon them the fact
that they are somewhat dangerous If
rired toward persons or dwellings. AS
result there have been several mar.
row escapes from serious accidents.
The other day some boys were shoot
ing at squirrels back of the old fair
grounds. and bullet from a gun PEN
etrated the walls of house, striking
a stove and barely missing a lady.
And in that vicinity il is not an uu-
common thing for pedestrians to hear
bullets whistling over their heads.
The smaller boy with the air gun is
also becoming a terror down town.
One broke window out of the court
house few days since. and others
shoot around promiscuously. The
attention of the authorities has been
called to the careless handling of
fire arms, and hereafter minors found
with guns inside the city limits will
be arrested.

THE MASS MEETING.
III. L. kuck, j. q. CrandaH and j. r
Moore Named for Mayor, City
Treasurer and Water Com
missioner.

A great many legal voters gathered
at the mass meeting Wednesday
evening for the purpose of naming
candidates for mayor, city treasurer
and water commissioner at large.
John Gavin was chosen chairman
while H. H. iiddell acted as secretary
for the meeting.
The first in order was the nomlna-
of mayor. Frank Menefee named 81.
L. Kuck, and as there were no other
names mentioned ballot was cast and
he was unanimously chosen.
The next in order was the nomiua-
ton of a city treasurer. j. c. Gran
dali, the present incumbent, was
named by T. j. Seufert and as 10 other
nominations were made, he, like Mr..
Kuck, was the unanimous choice. j.
F. Moore was nominated as water COM
missioner q. large after which it was
agreed that the voters of the different
wards meet on Friday evening at 8
O'Clock to nominate councilmen and
water commissioners.
In the naming of Henry L. Kuck an
excellent choice was made. Mr.. Kuck
has served in the capacity of council
man for the past four years and has
proven during this time "the right
man in the right place." In fact he
has been leader in the council and will
certainly give excellent satisfaction as
mayor. In his business dealings be

has always been honorable honest
and very successful and there is little
Doubt that he will be equally capable
10 csring for the city's affairs as he
has for his own. He was also the
originator of the sinking fund and the
prime leader in the movement to have
Sc, 900 placed in that fund to pay the
city's debt.
&c. Crandall is a man who has
proven himself trustw orthy and re-
liable official during the time that he
has held the position of city treasurer,
and his being nominated to succeed
himself is most satisfactory to every
one and that he will be reelected in
the face of any opposition that may
spring up is certain.
A better choice than j. F. Moore
for water commissioner would be hard
to make, as he, like Mr.. Crandall has
proven himself to be a faithful public
officer when in the land Office, and is a
man who has always worked earnestly
for the community at large. With |
such men in the field it is not likely |
any other candidates will enter the |
race

the young rascals pass among the

finest kind of berries, while under

these boxes to be samples of the Hood
River berry, and advertise the fact
from one end of the road to the other
that the berry growers of that section
are swindlers. The action of these
youthful pirates is not sanctioned by

they put stop to this dishonest
practice their berries will get black

A BOLD STEAL.
Frank Collins Attempts to Break the
Record In Horse Stealing

Record In Horse Stealing.
One of the boldest horse thieves
captured in this county for some time
was taken in by Sheriff Kelly last
night. The guilty party was Frank
Collins who was employed by Willis
Hendricks to take care of his farm and
stock on Tygh Ridge. while Mr.. Hem
dricks went to Portland to dispose of
some work horses.
A few days ago Collins appeared in
town with team and as they were fine
animals had no trouble in disposing of
them selling one to Louis Porter and
the other to Mr.. Murchle.
Em boldened by his success he went
10 the ranch and took another team
which he brought in and offered for
sale.
Yesterday Mr. Hendricks brother
arrived in the city and finding out
that the two horses had been disposed
of Immediately telephoned to their
owner in Portland and learned that
Collins had no authority to sell the
same. A warrant was sworn out for
the mans arrest and he was located in
the Skibbe hotel and placed under ar
rest. Upon searching him Sheriff |
Kelly learned that he carried a large |
Smith & Wesson revolver and when |
he attempted to disarm him he met |
with stubborn resistance. Collins |
claimed that he was up from Portland |
for short stay and Intended return
ing today.
After he was identified as the right
man he made aEother attempt to
escape but was unsuccessful and was
placed in Jail where he remains await
ing his preliminary examination.
Today Sheriff Kelly discovered Mr..
saddle and bride which
the culprit had sold to 81. L. Kuck.
Collins will be arranged before the
Justice this afternoon and the time of
MS hearing set at sometime tomorrow
,r whenever Mr.. Hendricks arrives in
;he city from Portland.
The evidence against him is strong
Ind there is little doubt that he will
erve term behind the bars, and his
.ctions indicate that he is most de-
erving of few years in the peni-
entiary
