NEW MELAN SPAN.
Edwin Thatcher Makes Proposition to
LenRthen Bridge.

Edwin Thatcher, of the Concrete Engi-
neering company has proposed to the
council to build an arch at the north
end of the Melan bridge to replace the
washed out approach and has offered to
cut his royalties upon his patents half
in two for the work. In response to
request from the council to make a
written proposition he has filed the fol-
lowing statement of his offer with the
streets and walks committee:
ITO the Mayor and Council.
In accordance with our statement be-
fore the council at their last meeting we
will make the following proposition to
the city of Topeka in regard to the cree
ton of the Kansas avenue Melan bridge.
In case the city seriously contemplates
the extension of the said bridge by the
addition of one or more spans OF Melan
arches, we will agree to furnish plans
free of charge to the city, and If, after con-
sideration of such plans and approx
mate estimate, the city decides to con-
struct the work we will reduce our
charge to one-half of our usual charge
If it is decided to accept this PROPOSE
ton we will require profile of the pres
ent surface on north approach between
the old and Melan abutments. In the
event that the city decides to construct
the extension at once. but TO defer pay
ment for one or more years. we be-
lieye we can find reliable contractors
willing to build the bridge under such
conditions provided the obligations bear
interest.
EDWIN TEACHER.
CONCRETE ENGINEERING CO."
Although no estimate of the cost of
the work has been made it is believed
that it will be $50. 900 or more. The coun-
Gil has not considered replacing the APP
proach permanently yet because wood
en- approach that may last ten years has
been set up, but 1t is unsightly ana
should be replaced. If, at the next coun-
Gil meeting it is decided to look further
into the proposition the county commits
sioners will be consulted to see what
share of the work they will bear Their
decision will have an important bearing
upon the acceptance or rejection of Mr..
Thacher's offer. Mr.. Thatcher was one
of the builders of the Melan bridge.

For some reason the Santa Fe, like
other railroads, is often slow to receive
notice of wrecks, be it in the instance
of an unruly hand car, a passenger
train or the second section of freight.

Superintendent Hurley. heard nothing
about the wreck of the motor car in
Strickrott and Harmon Wilson, of To-
peka, were caught under said car was
discredited all because Mr.. Etter had
not heard of it. AS the news reached
Topeka in the form of a message from
Strickrott, who knew that he was in
the wreck, the wreck probably hap
pened.
1t is reported that the Rock Island
trouble with the store house men at
Horton has come to a close. When the
men struck they were only getting $1.50
per day. They asked $1.75. The COM
pany refused to give them that amount
but made an offer of $165. This was at
first refused by the men but after con-
sidering the matter they decided to ac-
cept. The company was not so easy,
however. They required that each of
the men make application for work and
they wished to. Some of the older and
most deserving men have been taken
back but the ring leaders in the strike
are barred from work.

breech block. which it is said can be
remedied, the present trial is declared to
be a success.

WAS ABLE TO TESTIFY.
Girl Who Attempted Suicide Testifies Against
Her Sisters Alleged Murderer.

~ =
/ Williston, Dec 81. Miss Mildred King
the sister of Pearl Taylor, who was
found dead from an overdose of NOR
phine at Williston last week, was on
the stand and told what she knew of
her sisters death The evidence given
by her, it is thought, will be sufficient
to hold Benedict on the charge of
murder
Benedict, according to reports, had
been Pearl Taylor's lover for some time
but she had turned him down for an
other man and Benedict is supposed to
have in a fit of jealousy given her the
morphine that caused her death.
The witness is the woman who tried
to commit suicide by taking a dose Of
carbolic acid to avoid giving testimony
against Benedict, Monday and but for
the timely action Of DR.. Belyea might
have accomplished her purpose.
Benedict will probably 60 on the stand
in his own behalf some time today.
IN Pearl Brown, the girl cowboy, who
shot her lover, will be given hearing
after the close of the Benedict case. 4
The residents Of Williston are thor
oughly aroused over the recent tragedies
in the sporting circles in that city and
"A general clean up Is expected shortly.

Mr.. SMITH HAS TROUBLES.
Horse Dealer in Hoe for Hiding the Animals in
Canada.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 3.-M. O. Hall and
wife came in last evening from the
Wilds of Mofall and are registered at
the Leland. Some time ago, Mr.. Hall
bought a bunch Of horses from a man
by the name of Smith, for which he
paid $3.50. After receiving the money,
Mr.. Smith gathered the horses together
in one little bundle, as it were, and
took them across the line into Canada,
where they remained in seclusion for
several months. It seems that Mr.. Hall
got wind of the locality in which his
purchased horses were incarcerated and
went over to have an interview with
Smith, who made all kinds of promises
chief among which was that he would
return the horses to Mr.. Hall on this
side of the line. According to the story
Smith failed to keep his promise and in
an unguarded moment wandered across
the line to the American side and fell
into the hands Of an officer who arrest
ed him and brought him to Minot. Mr.,
Smith is now lodged safely in the Ward
County jail and will have hearing
as soon as matters can be arranged.
