meantime, President Lucas is to investi-
gate the matter and the Helena club
binds itself to abide by his decision. sub
ject to appeal to the board of directors

HAVE A KICK COMING.
Granite Street Residents Need Relief
From Dust.

The residents of the paved portion Of
Granite street, between Main street and
the court house, are very seriously con-
sidering the a~dvisability of p%etitioning
the city council for relief from the dust
storms which follow the street sweeper
on it's nightly peregrinations in that
vicinity.
They believe they have a justifiable
kick coming at the loose manner in
which the work of street sweeping is
performed, and pedestrians on Granite
street who are nightly enveloped in the
clouds of dust which follow in the wake
of the sweeper wonder why a little more
care is not exercised in sprinkling the
street before the sweeper is set in mo-
ton.
IT is true that an effort is made 10
sprinkle the sides of the streets previous
to their being swept, but for some cause
the center of the street is neglected, and
in many instances the interval between
the sprinkling and the sweeping is so
great that the sides of the street are as
dry as a limeburner's shoe before the
sweeper gets around. The business
houses on the street suffer as much dam
age as the private residences from the
dust which is waited through doors and
windows from the revolving sweeper.

He states that he promptly notified the
agent of the company at the shipping
point, that the stomach had been re-

Coroner Taylor said yesterday that the
reason he had refused to take the package
from the Express Office was that no ar
