Boy Named Wallace Told of Clyde
Fslt's Bloody Hands.
The exact manner in which the noIica
gained the first clue which led to the
discovery that young CLYDE Felt was
, responsible for the death of old man
Collins has never been explained. and
efforts have been made by the officers
TO keep the affair secret, for the pur-
pose of protecting erOm the consequent
publicity those VINO gave the first in
formation
For several days the officers who
were at work on the case believed i'm
piicitly that the old man had COM
mitted suicide, and ridiculed as absurd
any theory other than self-destruction.
lille the body of the old man was at

youngster at the time. but thinking OF

were brought 10 light. NJ Taylor re-
lated the speech of the boy to Chief
Hilton and to Sergeant 8urbi ige, The
officers at once followed the boy. who
is about the age of Clyde Felt. His
name is Wallace, but the OF GERS did
not learn his first name. Th5 boy at
first denied any knowledge of the
crime. but later admitted that another
boy named Johnson had told him of
having seen Clyde Felt come down
from the mountain and go to the
spring. where he washed the blood
from his hands. When asked how the
blood was there. Felt replied that he
had killed a hawk.
TIE officers then began a search for
the Johnson boy. and from him learned
the story. The boy begged not TO be
brought into the affair. But in the
trial which viii follow Johnson may be
placed on the witness stand to testify
20 the actions &c young Felt on that
day. Following this clue, the officers
began work on the murder theory, and

ton of the city. This work, it is pointed
out, cannot be done without the assist
ance of extra men, and if the addi-
tional force appointed is discharged at
the end Of the sixty days. it viii mean,
according to the authorities, that She
same work will have to be done over
at some other time.
viii Make City Clean.
If it is completed now, while the citi-
zens are manifesting an interest in the
matter and exerting themselves to help
the department, the conditions VIII be
made much, IL IS claimed, that the reg
ular fOrGS\ employed by the department
viii be enabled to keep the city in good
sanitary condition hereafter.
The course that is being pursued by
the health department at present is 10
have each man visit every house In his
district and make a complete report o.
the conditions found there, whether
they be sanitary or unsanitary. Printed
slips with blanks for the desired infor-
nation are furnished each inspector
and every house from the grandest
mansion to the humblest cottage is
completely described in regard to con
ditiOns conducive or detrimental to
health.
These reports, which will be thous-
ands in number when the work is COM
pleted, will be classified according to
streets and kept on record at the health
department. When cOntagiOn breaks
out in any place, by referring 20 these
reports the exact conditions existing
there can be quickly ascertained, and
the authorities viii know just what
steps to take to remove the contribut-
ing causes of the cOntagiOn, and pre-
vent its spread in that community.
The data required to be secured at
each house and recorded is as follows;
Ward, street, number Of house: name
Of occupant; how long resident; name
of owner, area of lot, Of house Of out
house; site of house, wet or dry; age
Of house, material; number OF stories:
number Of living rooms: number Of

and operating in a union station, and
the desirability of having a close con-
nectiOn with the Rio Grande in case
the California line is built it is be-
lieved that the Short Line would much
prefer to build a station of its own on
the present site or one near to it..
Hence the feeling that, despite the Of
fetal declarations in favor of a union
depot, an agreement on the question is
by no means in sight.
In this connection it is stated that
an agent Of the Short Line has for
some time been picking up prsperty
west of Pioneer square. This is be-
tween the union depot site and the
tracks on Third West street, and would
give the Short Line access to the depot
from it's present tracks. provided
joint structure should be erected on the
original site.
Pioneer Square Question Up.
Councilman Eardley offered a reso-
luton at last nights council meeting
TO appropriate $500 for the care Of Pho
neer park during this season, but the
adoption Of the resolution was opposed
by Councilman Robertson. who ex-
pressed the belief that within very
short time the council will be petit
toned to call for vote Of the people
on the question of ceding the square
for depot purposes to the San Pedro
railroad.
The ObjectOr pleaded that it would
be unv-ise to expend any money to
maintain the park until the people de-
cided what would be done with the
tract.
FeTnstrOm made the point that the
council authorized the expenditure of
$500 on the park last season. even after
the square had been by ordinance va
Gated as the historic park, and he
failed 10 see the wisdom Of now turn
ing It into desert-like spot.
Robertson's amendment to refer the
resolution to the committees ~
finance and public grounds prevailed.
