Said one member yesterday: ut is high
time the City Council is doing something
to upbuild the city. Cows havc been one

rNIo on Il plo MI {re In a l,o.s a
lar, a young man of the city this morn
ing called for warrant against mo-
1 tornan of the Petersburg line. So excited

I Squire, for an instant thought there had
teen some grievous wrong committed
and after some questions, learned that the
4 raotornan had left the young man stand
4 ing on the corner,when he wanted to get to
i the Cockade City. 1T was too bad. Hor-
| rible, that the young man, who IS one.

/ squire refused to issue a warrant upon
such evidence and the aforesaid artist got
"riled.'' Now, the; squire, who carries
/ a ball from a soldiers gun in his left
! leg. is not the man to drive to- do any
| thing and this fact was at once COM
mrnicated to the artist with implicit In
| strrctons to leave the office at once.
