DECIDES PORCH A NUISANCE
Council Orders J. W. Benham to Re
 move Part of His Building.

The city council met Friday evening and decided to abate what it was pleased to term a nuisance, in ordering the removal of the arcade erected by J. w Benham in front of his new build ing al Jefferson street and Second ave nue. The matter came up in the shape of a resolution offered by Councilman McNeil, ordering that MT. Benham be instructed to remove his arch within forty-eight hours, and if he did not fol- low out the wishes of the council the city marshal do it for him. Councilmen McNeil and Sanders supported the resolution. and it was opposed by MT. Frickas. while Acting Mayor Dyer re- fused to vote, stating in explanation that he had not had sufficient time to fully investigate the case.
 The resolution was drawn up by City Attorney Bullard, who rendered an opinion to the effect that the arcade came under the nuisance class and as such the council had full power to do away with it.
 The little difficulty has aroused a great deal of discussion. The alleged nuisance is very pretty piece of archi- lecture in the style of a Moorish porch, consisting of pillars and arches.
 MT. Benham may fight the resolution and enjoin the city from action until the dispute can be adjusted by a court decision.
 Little other interesting business came before the council. There was a long discussion over keeping in repair the bicycles used by the policemen and no conclusion was reached. One hundred and three bills were passed upon and it was decided to advertise for bids for city printing and meals for prisoners. the bids to go before the council at a meeting next Monday night.

 THE WELZ ESTATE. A new turn was taken yesterday in the estate of Michael Welz in probate court. When Welz died in the county hospital some months ago he was believed to be pauper. It was discovered a few days worthless chicken ranch and a special administrator was appointed in the hope that enough might be realized from his belongings to reimburse the county for his burial. His estat. grew and finally s. P. Hoef5r was appointed general administrator to succeed Dr. H. A. Hughes, the special admits trator. Soon after that it was learned that Welz had been the owner of some mining property in Yuma county and then will came up ;from Yuma in which Abe Frank was named as ex- ecutOr. In the meantime there was a contest between the general and spec ial administrators over f5es Yester- day the court under the will issued let ters to the eXecutOr, who filed his bond and took the case out of the hands of all his competitors The es- tate is worth only about $500. so that it is Fortunate that W5lz left no heirs in any way dependent upon him.
