Reder & Phipps' delivery team
kicked up quite \ sensation, Wednes-
day afternoon, by runaway down
Washington street, to the blacksmith
shop OF the McClellsnd Brothers,
where they obligingly tipped the wagon
over for repairs. A couple cases OF
eggs were badly damaged and other
groceries somewhat shaken up, but
aside from to the wagon the damages
we're nominal.
1t seems that Littlewood, the man
who has posed SO often lately before
the public as witless being through
our ambitious country" dailies, has
not strayed off demented, as one of
them suggested, but is strenuously en-
gagged in turning up an honest dollar
in a logging camp at Black Lake.
Now if they will let the man alone, he
may recover his mental equipoise, but
it is enough to set a man wild for Rec
and Oily to join teams on him.
The City Council at its meeting
Monday night, imposed semi-annual
lax of Sc on all stage coaches, ex-
press wagons, hacks, carriages, carts,
drays, or any other vehicles engaged
in the transportation OF passengers,
packages, goods, freight, wood, lumber,
or building material, for hire. This
license applies to one.hore rigs. and 81
for each additional horse shall be
paid. Refusal to comply with this
ordinance is a misdemeanOr and pun
ishable by fine of from $20 to 500.
The City Council, Monday night,
provided for re.assessment for special
Improvements on the following streets
Central street from Pioneer to Wash
ington, Central street from Fourth to
Washington, Mill street from Fremont
to a point $50 feet west of Chestnut,
Sherman avenue from Water street
to Jefferson. Eleventh street from
Water to jefferson. This is the pre-
liminarv step toward re-establishing a
lien on the abutting property before at
tempting to fix the amount and col. |
lect the tax.
1t seems that about all the SUBJ
contractors on the Capitol annex are
"leary" of Goss. the boss, who halts so
often for REIMBURSEMENT OF the load he
has contracted to draw. Now the
Expanded Metal Company want an
other thousand dollars or more added |
to the $4,000 held up of the appor-
tionment due Goss. The subcontrac-
tor on the steel roof, having had $lO,.
1875 held up, Contractor Goss has only
$374.04 left to pay for the work of the
preceding and this month. Now it is
in order for him to stall" again.
Lewis Moustgard, q Danish work.
man, fell from the third story of the
capitol annex, Wednesday, a distance
of 80 feet, and strange to say, escaped
serious injury. The workmen on that
building seem to have charmed lives,
for this is the second fall that would
undoubtedly have resulted fatally un-
der ordinary conditions. The late
victim fell on his head, but aside from
loss OF few TUFTS OF hair, there is moth
ing to show for his rough experience.
He got up Immediately and walked
away to supper, and resumed work the
next day.
Extradition papers have been issued
by the Governor of this State against
E. F. Bourcke, former resident OF
Seattle, now supposed to be in Cali
fornia. 1t seems that while engaged in |
the insurance business in that city he |
stole q quantity OF jewelry OF John B.
Blick. in December last. 1t seems |
that Bourcke led a dual life while
there, and it was only when his wife !
who remained in Seattle appeared with |
some OF the stolen jewelry on her per.
son that suspicion was aroused. A. J. |
Lang, a Seattle detective, is on his
track.
The Oyster Land Commission, con-
sisting Of the Governor, the Fish Com
missioner and the Land Commissioner,
held a session in this city Tuesday.
The Governor was elected President
of the Board, and three reserves in
Mason county were set aside. The
first is in the Narrows, at Hammer.
sly's Inlet of Big Skookum; the other
two in the channel and spot hole" of
Oyster Bay. The Commission selected
Hans Bergeson, of Mason. and Wal
lace Stuart, of Pacific, as patrolmen, at
salaries of SIS per month, whose duty
it is to keep close surveillance over
the reserves and arrest all offenders
found violating the law.
The legal contest over the guardian
ship of Georgia Forester, has been on
in the Superior Court several days. 1t
will be remembered that George Glais.
ford, while in the Alaskan country,
was sued by his wife for divorce and
the custody of the said child was &C.
corded to the mother, when the de-
cree was entered. Last Tuesday, af-
ter Glaisiord had sworn that he had
known nothing of the proceedings
for divorce, letters we're read from him
while North advising her to bring
suit, and hoping that the little girl
would have q good home with her
grandparents. On this showing. an
information was filed Of perjury, and
the case was continued till 1890 A. M.
Monday.
