RICHMOND TELEPHONE CASE.
Plumbing Ordinance, Appropriation for
Dog Pound, Purchase Of an Adding
Machine, Etc. Will Hold Their
Attention.

A. the conclusion Of the Joint session
80 Council tonight the Board Of Alder
men will hold their regular montn1s
meeting, at which several matters 81
importance will be considered. Pro1ntne''e
among these will be an ordinances AroD 1
the Common Council granting right TO
tI,a Richmond Telephone Company &c.
mace their wires under ground; final ae-
tion on a resolution giving the citizens
Of richmond the right to burn soft coal
and shavings for steam heating purposes
during the next six months, final ac-z
ton on an ordinance creating a Board OF
plumbing Examiners, and the appropria-
tion of $3.50 with which to keep the dog
no,,nd in operation until the first OF the
year.
From present outlook it appears as II
a strong fight will be made against con
currence in the ordinance giving the tele-
nhone company the privilege TO place
their wires underground. This Will oe
led by those who think the city Should
get g, certain revenue out OF the opera
ton OF the company in Richmond
AZ the last meeting Of the Common
Council an ordinance from the Street Com
mittee granting the company the right
to 20 under ground In the down town
district was passed, but not until after
IL had been amended in such a manner
as to relieve the company from paying
& per cent Of their gross receipts into
the City Treasury for the privilege OF
doing business in Richmond. When this
amendment was suggested there was
slight Show Of fight on the part OF GER
tain Councilmen. but the measure was
finally passed and now co.ues up to the
Board Of Aldermen for concurrence.
FIGHT PROBABLE.
That a fight Is imminent Is not to be
doubted. several aldermen expressing
themselves yesterday afternoon as oo-
posed to relieving one company from
such a tax and imposing 1t upon another.
The Southern Bell is now operating ul-
der such franchise. In accordance with
these ideas an effort to again amend the
ordinance placing tbs per cent. clause
in it will be made tonight.
There IS no doubt but that the ordi-
nance from the Common Council per-
hitting citizens to burn soft coal and
shavings for the next six months will
be adopted by the Board. However. it
is likely that an effort will be made to
have the existing ordinance. which makes
such action illegal. repealed, as several
members are Of the opinion that it Is
dead letter, having bep openly vio-.
lated for years They arelunable to see
the necessity Of having 3uch a Law and
favor this action IN preference to amend
ing it so as to- allow citizens to burn
soft coal and shavings this winter.
The Board will no doubt concur IN the
action Of the Common Council In pass
ing the plumbing ordinance. as board
OF Examiners is made necessary by the
new State Constitution.
The appropriation OF $3.50. with "n a-o
to continue the operation OF the oos
pound until the first OF the year VIZ
doubtless receive the approval OF tns
aldermen, as this amount was aslseu
upon as compromise between snose

TRAIN ROBBERS PURSUED.
Party Of Men and Dogs Are Hot on
Their Trail.


Denver, July ia News special
from Saguache, Colorado, last night
says:
Special Agent A. W. hcOwn, with
posse of six men and the dogs from
Canon City. have just reached Sam
Calvert's ranch, twelve miles west of
here having trajled the Marshall pass
train robbers since 3 a. IN. The trail
OF the robbers was picked up at Mill
switch and followed over the divide.
The robbers camped last night near
the head of Indian creek, on the west
ern slope of Mount AngOro, not over
ten miles from the scene of the holdup.
They evidently broke camp about day
light this morning and came on leisure
ly down Indian creek, reaching Its
junction with Middle creek this even
Ing. At this point they crossed the
trail of Sheriff Williams. who has NJ
ready gone up Middle creek.
When Brown and his party reached
the outlaws camp this morning their
camp fire was still burning and the OFF,
GERS think they were not over two hours
behind them. at least. All four rob
bers appear to be keeping together ana
their trail is plainly parked. Brown
and men are fatigue1 and the dogs are
played ort, SO that they have been OF
little use except to catch the trail OF
the robbers at first. The robbers
crossed Middle creek. going westward
over the divide toward Sheep creek
and are now In the hills between the
two creeks.
The robbers are in very rough
country. but if Williams and his COW
boys, who are thoroughly familiar with
every foot of the ground. can be
reached and gotten on the trail. the
bandits will certainly be captured or
killed.
