agent of the Carpenters Union, who
was accused of having embezzled STAT
from that organization, appeared be-
fore Judge Holt Wednesday morning
and the case was dismissed upon mo-
tion of the county attorney with the
consent of the complaining parties, it
appearing that the whole matter had
been settled. The judge also dismissed
the case against Mrs. Emma Blake
field, charged with being accessory to
felony in aiding her husband to cs-
cape. Attorney ]. A. Peterson, who

H. Kelly & Co., one of the two firms
seeding from the Master Plumbers
association, were on Monday awarded
very important contract by the d
rectors of the chamber of commerce,

work will cost between $4,000 and
100000 and Mr.. Kelly says that
large portion of this amount will be
expended for labor. The firms who
have left the Master Plumbers asso-
citation say they are ready to pay union
wages and to employ none but union
men, but the striking plumbers claim
they are bound by contract to work
for none but members Of the Master
Plumbers association.
The coal men are a bit put out over
the action Of the city council Tuesday
night in rejecting all bids and decid-

open market. But they admit on the
side that the city may save a little
money thereby. The hard coal agree
ment can't be broken, they declare,
but possibly some one may be willing
to cut the soft coal figures a few
cents. The board of education recent
ly rejected all bids for the seasons
supply in their department and then
turned around and made a private
contract that saved them about $500.
The city's contract is much smaller
than the boards, however, and there
saving as this.
