able nature then 1t is a matter OF
Judgment how far the council should
take chances in conserving the city's
interests; and if the deed is worth
less the sooner the city finds it out
and takes steps to correct the error
the better. In any event the council
should have some ore of report on
the. matter. There ought to be no
'hold-up' in the matter, but the city
should have what it is fairly entitled
to.
IN addition, l have an Interior mo-
tive in calling this matter up at this
time. So far the present city admin
istration has been guilty of no more
serious errors than those of judgment,
but if this matter is not taken up and
disposed of before the end of the pres
ent fiscal year the graver charge OF
Sinking a responsibility may he war
ranted."
The council fully conceded with Mr..
White in the idea that the matter
should be disposed of, and instructed
the committee to bring in a report at,

POISONED AIR
Just Before Heavy Storm Killed Kit
tens and Live

Just previous to a heavy shower to-day
nearly every kitten less than months
old in the vicinity died apparently from the
effects Of some gaseous matter in the air.
A bunch of eighteen cattle was seen com
ing from the flats, when eight Of them fell
to the ground. A farmer living near by
ran out to them and found six of the eight
already dead. John Morris, a stockmen
living on White River, reports the loss of
six head in the same way. It is generally
believed that the copious rains which have
fallen since have neutralized whatever
poison to animal life may have been in
the air. It was a phenomenon heretofore
unknown there.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS

Lake Into FumIng Sulphur
r PonH

Los Angeles Cal, Cor. New York Tribune.
Since the recent series Of earthquakes
in this state a remarkable change has
taken place In Evans Lake, little sheet
of water in Riverside county. It was clear
before the shocks, but since has turned
the color Of birthstone. Sulphurous fumes
arise and are perceptible half a mile
away. All the reeds and tules on the
border Of the lake have turned yellow
and died.
Ten miles away are well-known sui
phur springs and a health resort. It. is
supposed that the earthquakes opened a
fissure and made connection between the
sources Of the springs and the lake. There
have been three shocks, which have done
slight damage.
