Last Frinay night about 10 o'clock.
Sam Vidano, an Italian who owns and
runs : saloon at Chandler, was play
ing . game Of pool with q young
fellow named Jimmie Todesko, they
being the only occupants of the room.
Suddenly two persons entered, one Of
whom fred revolver at the saloon
keeper and hit him. This frightened
the boy who lodged behind the count
or and fell ON his knees just in time
to escape a bullet which grazed the
top of the counter.
The murderers then skipped out.
and at last reports no clue whatever
has been found as to who they were
or where they went.
Mr.. Vidano was well liked by all
Chandler people and has been in this
vicinity several years. No one seemed
to know of his having single enemy.
DR.. Sanborne of Brookside, was called
but could do nothing for him. The
bullet entered his left arm near tho
shoulder, passed up the arm and
lodged in his chest. He died in
about half hour after the DOCTORS
arrival, from bleeding internally.
The boy was 80 frightened he could
not remember much of description
of the murderers. He says he il
sure they were masked and thinks
they were either women or dressed
in women's clothes.

EXTENSION HAS
NOT BEEN MADE
Fort Street Continuance Hin
dered by Excessive Prices
OF Property.

No steps have been taken by the
property owners along the proposed
extension of Fort street to come to an
agreement with the Government
whereby the continuation of the street
can be made possible. The Superin-
tendent of Public Works several months
since asked the owners to make some
proposition for the Government to take
hold of. The owners have done nothing
in the premises.
The truth of the matter is that the
owners ask too much for what would
have to be condemned for street pur-
poses. Despite the fact that their en-
tire remaining property would be en-
hanced several times it's present value
the owners are holding out for prices
which would obtain along established
, streets.
The betterments which accrue to in
side property are worth a big sum, and
the loss of property which would go in
to the proposed street extension would
be gained by new frontages. In but
one case along the proposed route of
the new street has there been any evil
dence that the property owners look
upon the matter in this light.
| Superintendent of Public Works Nc
Candless stated yesterday to an Ad-
vertiser reporter that the extension of
Militant street from Queen to Halekau-
villa street was in progress, and when
completed would have cost the Govern
ment something like $4,000 cash. The
property owners were gaining addi-
tional values to their property by the
extension but nevertheless the Govern
ment was held up.
1T will probably be the last street
we shall extend" said Mr.. McCandless
unless property owners make it easier
for the Government. 1t Is a very shor
street to cost that much money. Thinl
what it would cost the Government Il
a long street were to be cut through &
block. We cannot afford it and stree
lextensions will probably not be mad
until new basis is made to figure on.
