the side of the sheriffs buggy, pleading
and begging with the officers TO turn the
prisoner over to him. Williams was placed

GERS reached the town word of their mission
passed around rapidly, and before they had
made the arrest of Williams men, women
and children were in the street. Mrs. Veach,
mother of the child was almost Wild and

probable that steps will be taken to i'm
prove the Main-street bridge over the Wa

is by far the largest and most important
in the city, and over which thousands of
persons pass daily. has not received much
attention in late years, and the floor es-
pecially, is In dangerous condition OnIy
loose boards form the sidewalk and thor
oughfare, and many of these are unsafe
The proposition now is to asphalt the floor
and build a new railing. This would
strengthen the bridge and calm the fears of
all. The commissioners will take the mat
ter up in week or two and come to some
