licensing drays and other vehicles
doing business for hire and we
understand there are now four
draynen who have liquidated and
in good grace until April 10, 1904
The council also passed resolu-
ton licensing the bus to do bust
ness as a carrier of passengers for
the small sum of $40 per year pay
able semi-annually in advance.
Mayor kapp also rendered his
resignation in writing the same to
take effect on Dec. 18th, at which
time he will hand in his report for
the term he has presided as mayor.
This will give the City Fathers
time to pick out suitable candi-
date to fill the unexpired term. Mr..
Kapp resigned owing to his in
creased duties as land agent, as he
could not be at home much of the
time this winter and might be
away when his services were most
needed,

fight, which OCCURS tonight, is at
fever heat in sporting circles today.
the pool rooms are thronged, and the
betting is quite brisk, The odds still
favor Fitzsimmons. ranging from 10
to to 10 to 8. At o'clock this af-
ternoon the men were scheduled to
weigh not over 1853 pounds. Gardner
makes rather close fit. He has con-
served his strength in a systematic
manner and is said to be right on
edge Fitzsimmons will be at least
four pounds within the limit and has
no complaint to make regarding his
fitness for the fray, although cold
made him a little stiff in the joints.
This yielded to vigorous massage,
however. Eddie Graney. who has
handled all the big contests recently,
will be the referee.
