CITY GOVERNMENT.
Much Business Disposed of at Last
Session of Present Board.

A special. meeting of the city govern
ment was held, Monday evening and
much OF the business was cleaned up,
as IT was the last of the present body.
The first to come up was a set OF
resolutions in regard to the death of
Augustus {. Page who had served as
tax collector. This was unanimously
passed by both boards and a set of the
resolutions were ordered forwarded to
the bereaved wife and daughter.
Roll of bills, No. u. amounting to
$1541.24, as follows: Highway depart
ment, $455.79; poor and insane, $S4S.SS:
and contingent, $236.57; was ordered
paid.
The bill of DR.. F. H. Crocker for $40
for assistance in the amputation of the
leg of Mcclellan, a person who lost his
leg by being run over by a train in the
freight yard, was referred back to the
assessors for settlement, the State hav
ing to take the case in it's hands. Nc
Lellan being a resident of England.
The report of the joint standing
committee on highways. sidewalks and
bridges reported that they did not
deem it best for the city to construct
a drain across the yard of Mrs. Berry,
Washington street as per the request
of o. G. Andrews. they having in their
possession a letter from Sumner
Smiley stating that while he occupied
| this house, he was obliged to build the
drain himself the city having no ac-
ton in the matter whatever. They al
so reported that they did not think the
city liable in the claim of William
Hood for damages sustained by his
| a. hx- fa, cli lin, a
sidewalk on Chestnut street and sus-
tanning a sprain of her left wrist.
The report of the joint standing
lcommittee of fire department reported
that they had had constructed a hose
wagon for use on Highland avenue and
VICINITY, examined and accepted the
same for the use of the department, it
filling all the requirements.
The mayor was authorized to trans
| fer from one account to another what
sums of money. he found necessary to
settle the accounts of the departments.
owing to the death of Tax Collector
Page, the sum of money that was to
| be transferred to the city will be less
than what it otherwise would. To
overcome this, the treasurer was au-
thorized to hire money to settle all ac-
counts.
| The joint standing committee re-
ported that they had failed to agree on
the bill of City Solicitor G. A. Hildreth.
The bills Represented, with his salary
iamounted to $354.52. A cOmmunica-
ton from him was read asking that all
charges not agreeable to them and
what they did not seem pleased to pay
| be deducted. This they did not want
to do and an order was passed by both
boards that the matter be left with the
mayor for settlement. There being no
| further business to come before the
boards, the council adjourned sine die
while the aldermen adjourned to meet
on Monday of next week to receive the
returns from the election when they
adjourn sine die.

CRASH AFTER CRASH
Continued from page l.)

Sheriff Robertson is taking all means
to discover. if possible. the perpetrators
of the crimes.
The general impression here, this
morning, is that the acts are the re-
suits of a general movement to rid the
district of all high grade ore purchas-
ing institutions.
Bloodhcunds from Canon City have
been called for.
For years there had been systematic
stealing of rich ore from the mines,
amounting to thousands of dollars
monthly. 1t is alleged that more than
80 assayers in the district have made
a business of buying such ore. Re-
Gently the Mine Owners Association
discovered that shipments Of high grade
ore had been made by assayers from
this district to smelters at San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake, but all efforts to
stop the traffic were unavailing.
