Attorneys Instructed 20 Proceed with
Condemnation Of Land-Eatisfac-
tory Progress Being Made.

Satisfactory progress on the estab-
lishment of the new water works sys-
tenn in this city is being made by the
board of commissioners. and it is be-
lieved that before MANY weeks shall
have passed active work will be il
full swing. The specifications were
ready for distribution last week, a
number of copies have already been
sent ont to prospective bidders. So far
there have been about 40 inquiries
from contractors, and it is believed
that more will come in during this
week As the competition for the es-
adjustment of the system will be keen
tho city will undoubtedly get the adj
vantage of the lowest figure at which
the plant could be satisfactorily in
stalled.
SATURDAY. the members of the water
board instructed their attorneys,
Faulkner, Walker 81 Woods, to pro-
coed with the accounts for the con-
demnaton of the land which the pro-
posed route will need. and no trouble
over the acquisition of the properly is
anticipated. Some individuals have
shown a disposition to "'hold up the
city in the matter of sale of the land
needed for the mains. but it is thought
that everything will be satisfactorily
arranged without causing any delay.
1t was at first intended to end the
period for receiving bids on the 2lst of
May. but the water board now believes
that the better plan will be to post
pone the day until May 81 This will
give prospective bidders more time in
which to look over the ground and
specifications, and to revise their fig
ures, and will probably result in low
er, and, of course, more satisfactory
figures to the city. 1t is intended to
publish the notice for bids in the pa
pers of this city. in order to give the
local contractors an opportunity to
place their bids.
While the members of the water
board are moving with all possible
speed. there is no undue haste. The
project on hand is an important one.
and nothing will be overlooked that
will tend to make the system one of
the best III this section of the coun-

MARTIN BROWN NOMINATED
Monday Night for Councilman In the
Fourth Ward.

Martin Brown was nominated Mon
day by the citv executive committee
for councilman in the Fourth ward on
the Republican ticket in place of Mar
vim Bremen, the former nominee who
withdrew. The cause of Mr.. BJen.
ner's withdrawal was ON account of
his age and also that he did not wish
to run for public office, for when his
name was mentioned at the primaries
he asked that he be not nominated.
There was no one in the Third ward
in place of Mr.. Gettle. who withdrew
the day after his nomination and the
executive committee seem to realize
that the gentlemen on the other tick
cts are very desirable for the office of
councilmen in that ward. The NOM
inees are now commencing to work in
their various wards for the coming
election. which from all reports will
not be a parts fight as has been in
former years.

PART OF MONEY RECOVERED.

Charles Butts, the man who was ar
rested Monday by Constable L. L.
Lemen, was released from custody this
evening as there was no evidence to
show that he had kept the monev in
his possession with the object of fraud
or theft. When he was arrested Nom
dav on the charge of having in his
possession the money that had been
lost. and had not returned it to the
owner, he admitted of having found it
and of still having it in his possession.
He told the officers where they might
find the money, it being in the bottom
of his trunk at his home near the
mountain.
The officers then proceeded to his
home but after search, failed to find
the money in the trunk, his mother
told them that if they brought her son
out there that he might find it for
them This morning thew again went
the prisoner with them. AS soon as
they reached the house, the prisoner
went to the trunk, expecting to find
the money where he had put it but it
was not there. He then questioned
his mother and she admitted having
moved it for safety.
She then produced the money but
when counted bv the officers only
amounted to $t24, S36 of it having
been spent. The officers showed him
/ the money and he readily said that it
was not all there. He asked his moth
er whera the balance was, but she de-
MED having seen any more. 1t was
learned later by the officers from a
storekeeper on She mountain that the
mother had spent the money for cloth
ing.
From the actions OF Butts it showed
that he had not spent any OF the
money! but after finding it. put il
away in case he learned who had lost
it. The officers then turned him
loose, having no evidence against him.
CASE DISMISSED.

store of Rarnsbure Bros. at Van.
clevesville last winter, and which was
postponed last Saturday was held
| in the Circuit Court room in the court
house before Justice SNYDER Tuesday
afternoon. There were so many wit
nesses summoned IN the case that the
room of the justice was not large
enough to accommodate them all at
one time, 50 the case was taken for
trial to more commodious quarters.
The justice sat in state in the seat
usually occupied by Mr.. Louie"
Gerhardt, CLERK of the Circuit court.
while the interested narties distrib-
uted themselves Dromiscuosly over the
pace both within and without the rail.
When the case was called The attorney
for the defense. Messrs Wade Kilmer
and Lawyer Clifford objected to the
presence of the witnesses while the
evidence was being given, and hejus-
tice ordered them to leave the room.
Among the witnesses were several
buxom lassies from the neighborhood
of.the scene of the robbery. who tlut-
tered anxiously about the dignitied
precincts Of the staid old court room,
and who seemed somewhat relieved
when the order to leave the room was
issued There were also present as
witnesses in the case four lads of ten
der years. who seemed pulled all out
of proportion with the Importance of
the unaccustomed situation, and who
grinned sheepishly and consciously
when summoned to the rail to take the
oath. 1t is.donbtful il the LADS ap--
preciated the Importance Of what they
were asserting to when the solemn
oath was administered.
A bundle of the recovered plumber
was exhibited and identified by one
of the witnesses as a portion of the
stolen property. Sheriff Billmver, of
Jefferson county, was one of the wit
nesses, and detailed the efforts of
himself and deputies to capture the
culprits and to locate the property.
The trial was abruptly terminated
at 8 O'Clock when Llovd made con-
fession of his share in the robbery.
He was held for the action of the
court He implicated Boyd in the
crime, and the latter will have trial
on Tuesday next.
