A Bau Mistake.

Last evening there was considerable
excitement at the residence of David
Davis, manager of Laughlin's tin mill,
corner of Sixth and Centre streets. Mr..
Davis and family have been away, and
yesterday the neighbors noticed that
a man entered the house through the
day. When Mr.. Davis returned home
last evening the citizens notified him
OF the stranger entering the house, and
Mr.. Davis Immediately called the po-
lice. During this time the neighbors
became aroused and when the police
arrived there was quite a number OF
citizens collected. By this time the
crowd expected to catch a burglar, but
as their imagination grew and the po-
lice started 10 enter the house. they
were surprised by Dan Terrill opening
the door and asking what was the mat
ter This surprised the crowd, as Mr.
Terril is Davis brother-in-law The
matter was soon settled and the police
returned without any reward, and
those who had warned Mr. Davis of
the burglar soon became secluded and
could not be found. The question now
is, who is the joke on?

LEGISLATION UNNECESSARY.
COmmi ssiOners' View of House Bill
for Opening Street.

In report on House bill 3342, for opening
a street through block 205, from 18th to
18th street, concurrent with the streets in
the adjacent blocks called Wallach and
Caroline, the District Commissioners have
informed the House District committee that,
in their opinion, the proposed Legislation
is unnecessary. They have, therefore, rec
commended unfavorable action on the bill.
The street which would be opened in the
manner proposed, explain the Commission
ers, would be minor street, and full au-
thority, they state, is vested by law in them
to open such minor streets whenever pc
tition is presented to them by the owners
of a majority of the real estate in the
square. 1t is believed by the Commissions
ers that the provisions of the law referred
to by them cover the opening of a minor
street through the block in question in a
satisfactory manner, and for that reason
they believe the proposed legislation is un-
necessary.
