who has been engaged in doing odd jobs
around saloons was sent to Jail Satur-
day for seven months Six months of
this sentence was for stealing a saw
from Sam Pulliam and disposing of the
implement for 80 cents at second hand
store.
Kehoe denied that he had taken the
saw from where it had been left by its
owner, but the proof was plain that he
had sold it and received the money. When
Kehoe saw that the case was going
against him he gave vent to a string of
bad language, which Judge Bender con-
strued as contempt of court. and added
month to Kehoe's sentence. The prison.
er was taken to Jail at the conclusion of
the trial and will likely languish in the
county bastile for the full term of his
sentence.
A bridge was burned on the branch be-
tween Logan and Butte Sunday night,
and the force in the superintendent S Of
flee put in hard day Monday hustling
men and supplies for the bridge. StenOg-
rapher Stephenson departed Monday
night for the scene of the trouble.
A movement is on foot to take action in
the matter of improving the city park.
Walks will be laid through the pleasant
grounds and a band stand erected for the
accommodation of a musical organization.
The trees now growing in the park are an
ornament to the city and year by year
are adding beauty to the place. No more
profitable or popular action could be taken
by the city council than that of improv-
ing the already beautiful spot put aside
for city park and the proposed action
of the city fathers will be sure to meet
with favor.
