SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Police Force Trimmed Up Building
 Inspector Case.

There was q special meeting of the city council yesterday afternoon. to which coHsidera ble interest attaches. James Marshal. assistant zanjerO. re- signed his office and a man named Easterwcod was appointed as his sue ccssor. MT. Marshall's action was probably due to some criticisms recent ly made regarding himself and some other city employees wearing police badges. It was therefore ordered that all except regularly appointed officials should surrender their badges.
 An effort was made to remove r. Sunderland from the office of building inspector. In fact there were two re- quests Of that kind One was from q number of contractors who complained that the building inspector had accept ed contracts on work that he had him. self issued permits for. The ohter was Q resolution of Councilman Dunlap, asking for his removal on the ground that he had not been strict enough with contractors. In view of the fact that 9 case under the building OrGi- nance was to come up for trial later in the day. and to give opportunity for further investigation, the matter Wae allowed to go over to a later meeting.

Mobs are always cCwardly as a body and in that one there was not man who would lead the attack upon the armed prisoners. The lynching vas deferred and a day or two later Kerrick and another prisoner broke out of jail. They stole couple Of horses in the town and went into d distant part of the state. Unfortu- nateiy for them one of the horses which they had stolen was an animal of considerable speed. He was entered by the fugitiVes in several small races which he generally won. kerrick s companion, elated by easy money, got drunk and confidential and told newly made friend how the horse hap paned to be there. It was not long after that that Kerrick and his part her Were back in the jail.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont)
 In the first opening of Oklahoma 10 settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after Cor tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost inn possible to check. and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neiShbOrs brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was e peated. The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked q complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by ElVey 6 Hulett.

AN ARIZONA MAN
Who Made Weak Place in the Wall
 of Folsom Prison.

A revelation was made in Phoenix yesterday which may prove to be or interest to the authorities of Folsom prison of the state O. California. About three years ago James Kerrick, who had been implicated in several cattle stealing cases in the neighbcrhood of C'ila Bend, was convicted and sent to Yuma Before the end of the year he was released on parole. the principal condition being that he shClld leave the territory and stay out of it. He has been back since put has never re- mained in one place long enough to attract attention to the violation Of his parole.

That was before the tablishment of the prison at Fol som. kerriclz was taught the trade Of stone mason and became quite expert.

The leading oil well contractors
in the west are Patterson q Irwin,
of this city. The members of the
firm are John A. Patterson and
John :. Irwin, both long time resi-
dents of Florence, and also the two
most expert well drillers in the en-
tire west. During the last four
teen years they have been in the
employ of the United Oil company,
and as IA result, have brought in a
great many of the producing wells
for that corporation. The firm of
Patterson and Irwin was founded
in March and the first contract
was the now well known Keystone,

that event Patterson x Irwin have
had their choice OF contracts IN
this field, and have undertaken to
