o BUCKS ANKLE

In a fight in the Silver Bow brewery
saloon last night between Jack Rand and
Hans Buck, the latter's ankle was
broken. A few minute prior to this fight
some chronic drunk, an acquaintance of
Rand, was trying to pawn a watch for
whisky and was arrested. After the
fight Rand went to Jail to see his thirsty
friend, and was telling him on the quiet
that he had been the cause of Bucks
broken ankle. Tailor Sol Levy overheard
him and promptly arrested him. He was
lodged in Jail, but later, on the represen-
ation made to the chief of police, was
released.
Buck was taken to the county iail.
where his injuries We're attended to.

NOTICE TO ARCHITECTS AMI
PROPERTY OWNERS.

AS 1t has been customary for architects
n property owners to award the paint
ing Of a building to a building contractor,
on fair estimates which he has received
from reliable painting contractors, and
the building contractor having been
granted the contract at fair estimates,
will, in most cases, sub-let the painting
to the lowest possible bidder. In this way
the building contractor realizes an mac
tive profit, also creates the closest posi-
BILE competition, which means the very
lowest grade of work. Therefore, we
contend that'a building contractor has no
right to interfere with painting contracts
and on and after March Is, 1899. the mem
bers of Painters and Decorators Local
Union No. % CNo. 80 w. l.. W will refuse
to work on any building the painting and
decorating of which has not been award
ed to a painting contractor direct from
architect or owner.

E. T. Gill of New York, chairman of

asked that the complainants be called
upon to state wherein the proposed

applied to classes of freights that
could well afford to pay them.
In statement to the commission,
Attorney Day said the comparison Of
the proposed rates on certain specific
articles showed the new rates to be
higher than had ever existed since the
commission was created.

the commission, instituted line of in.

dicating that in 1887 the railroads
paid more for steel rails and other ar
ticles of equipment than they had to
pay now. Gill indicated by his ans
swers that the present prices of ar
ttcles and prices in 1887 had little
II anything. to do with the action of
the committee, except that, in gem
eraf way, the committee felt that the
articles on which the increases had
been made could afford to pay them.
