Rewarded - Frczen Sewers Are
Ordered to Be opened Up.
Election Judges.

The Walkervlle council met last
night in regular session with all mem
bers present except Sandoe. The treas
urer, police magistrate and marshal
submitted their monthly reports, which
were filed. The marshal reported lights
out during February 1871 hours, and the
council ordered a reduction in the bill
of SISS, a rate Of cents per hour of
darkness. The light committee reported
that the arc which has been on duty
for Centerville is now doing service for
Wakerville, being placed up near the
Lexington. Therefore a long and fer
vent prayer of a patient public has
been answered. The Main street and
American house sewers have been
frozen up for some time and the sewer
committee was instructed to open them
up at all hazards.
The clerk was instructed to draw up
an ordinance requiring the citizens to
clean the snow and ice from their side
walks and keep them clean. George

the previous meeting. duly qual1tled.

An election judge was appointed from
each ward as follows:
First-George Goss.
Second-Harry Renfrey.
Third-Edward Quinn.
These judges will each appoint two
clerks from their respective wards.
Mayor Briney addressed the council
as to the advisability of opening up
West DAILY street. This matter will be
more thoroughly considered at the next
meeting. 1t appears that there is
growing sentiment in favor of encour-
aging the street car people to enter
Walkerville from the west through
Daily street. 1t is understood that the
county commissioners have evinced
desire to confer with the council on
this important matter. and it may be
that the street car company will favor
the plan advanced by the Daily street
contingent

IT is A PECULIAR CASE
Brings Suit Against
the Sheriff
TO GET HIS MONEY BACK
1t Was Locked Up in the Safe When
Phil Harrington's Saloon Was At
tached-Not Money Enough
to Cover It.

A story of more or less strangeness Is
involved in the suit of Felix McAlyey
against Sheriff p. II. Regain, which was
on trial before jury in Judge Lindsays
department of the district court yester-
day, and which grew out of an attachment
of Phil Harrington's saloon on the 18th
of last August. The place was attached
claimed the saloon man owed him So. 255.
which he had loaned him in 1893. The
night before the attachment was levied.
according to Phil Harrington's account,
the saloon was burglarized and $3.50 which
he had left in the ice box was stolen and
the sheriff got only the stock of LIQUOR
and cigars and the big iron safe in the
saloon The sheriff was anxious to get
the contents, but Harrington refused ia
open 1t and he was cited into court but
the court decided that Harrington could
not be forced to open it, Finally. how
ever, he offered to open it, provided that
the money found in it was paid to Felix
McAlvey. who had deposited a check for
$40 with him. The sheriff and creditors
refused to agree to it and the safe was
opened anyway, but McAlvey's check was
not found and only s2O6.65 in cash was
there, and the sheriff held on to that.
McAlvey. wac is a hard working man,
had deposited the check with Harrington
on the LIST Of last June and got a small
advance on it. He claimed that Harrin6,-
ton induced him to deposit 1t in a bank
and ne did 50 and afterwards Harrington
got the check cashed and used the money.
and the fact that there was not enough
money in the safe to cover the check was
not discovered until it was opened. some
time after The attachment, and then Nc
Alvey was compelled to bring suit to get
the money found in the safe.
The defense to it by the attaching cred
itors is that the money found in the safe
did not belong to McAlvey, and that 1t
could not be shown that it was the money
received on the check.
curious thing about the trial was
that Harrington testified by deposition
and did not appear in court, although he
is in the city
The testimony was all introduced yes

TURNED UP IN SEATTLE

And Then Got Out Of the State Just

Arrow Eddy Is the Chief
OF the Gang.

William Eddy, the bow and arrow
man who made a clean up in Butte a
year ago and got out of the state just
ahead of the police, has turned up in
Seattle with several Of his pals and the
Post-1ntelligenCer calls them the most
desperate highwaymen that ever struck
that town. Regarding Eddy's partners,
the Seattle paper says that they gave
their names at the police station as

that they stood far above the ordinary
crook, who is inclined to be coarse and
rough at best.
Chief Reed and the detectives would
say nothing about the Two men. They
apparently know their records, but
there being no charge against them,
will say nothing about the case at all.
But there are persons here from
Skaguay and from Colorado who know
something of the records of the two
Browns and who We're surprised to
know that they We're in this city. The
tale which they tell of the desperate
encounters and the recklessness of these

There were stages held up and rob-

chiefly by their influence, and they did
not fear much trouble.
