TELEPHONE FIRH ALAsm.
r. L. Griffin VIII Put In a System for
sI.1s per Box.

An AKDMoREfTE reporter at
tended the fremen's meeting last
night. aud while there learned from
Alderman Slaughter. chairman Of
the fire company, that Manager
Griffin, of the Chickasaw Tele-
phone CO.. had made him a propo.
sition to pu: in a dozen boxes, to
be placed at such places in the city
as the council might suggest.
Your reporter visited the tele
phone exchange this morning aud
found Mr.. Griffin, who said /:
Yes, / did tell Mr.. Slaughter that
| would put in II boxes. or more,
at sl.25 per month"
How would these boxes be
placed, and how could the party
desiring to turn in an alarm get It
them and into themi"
Simple enough" Mr. Griffin
said. II propose to put the boxes
on the street, enclosed in a box
that will protect it from the
weather. aud have the key to the
box hang on the outside of the
porch Of some one living in front
of the box.
These boxes will be used for
fire alarm only, and will be con-
nected directly with the fire engine
house, and the sender of the mes.
sage can tell the man on watch at
the fire house exactly where the
fire is.
| will keep everything in per.
feet repair and all the expense the
city is at is the sl.25 for each box
put in."
IL the city would put in about 2C
of these boxes-about FIVE to each
ward-together with the phone;
already in use by private parties
il would give us a very good fire
alarm system, and the fire boys
could then get to some of the fire:
before the building is consumed.
This is a matter that the city
council ought to take up at its
next meeting. Twenty-Five dollai:
per month is a small sum, aud We
doubt il single tax payer would
say a word against it.

SHOT HIS EVE OUT.
J. D. Shsnks Uses Shot Gun on L. L.
Boland.


This morning Deputy Bridges
came in with J ID. Shanks, charged
with assault to kill, and placed him
in Jail.
Deputy Bridges told the reporter
that. from the evidence as adduced
upon the stand before Commits l..
sioner Hardy, Shanks and Boland
lived several miles from Ravia, aud
last Saturday Shanks went over 10
Bolaud's house and asked Boland
if he would take some eggs to town
for him.
Boland studied a minute, think.
ing of what he had to carry, per-
haps, for his old lady, and Shanks,
thinking he did not want to ac-
commodate him, remarked to him
TO say yes or no, that he liked for
person to be plain with him.
Just what transpired then is not
exactly clear; at any rate, Boland
did not carry the eggs to Ravia
Shanks went to town himself aud
took his shot gun along. While in
Rayia, about 6 O'Clock in the af.
ternoon. the two men met aud the
matter came up again. hot words
were exchanged, and Shanks shot
at Boland, the shot taking effect
in one Of his eyes.
Shanks was arrested and tried
as before stated and committed fol-
assault to kill.
