trlbuting the cigars freely ever since.
Frof. j. II. Barker was threatened
with an attack of appendicitis last week
and was confined to his bed for several
days. He is much improved this week

AT a meeting of the directors of the
Quigley Lumber company, held Monday
evening, Humphrey Williams was ap-
pointed manager of the yard in this city.
Bruce Clifton, who was the manager up
up to that time was transferred to Boul-
der Park, where he will have charge of
the Bigelow mill, operated by the Quig.
ley company. The promotion of Mr..
Williams to managerial control is well
deserved. the gentleman having been in
the employ of the company over four
years, during which time he has render
ed most efficient service.
The business streets of the city were
the scene of very lively time Saturday
night. A quartette OF young fellows who
had imbibed too freely in spiritual liquors
became obstreperous and commenced
creating disturbance. The night mar
shal soon put an end to the fracas and
placed three of the disturbers under ar.
rest. The fourth made break for lib
erty and ran up Eureka street with the
heetness of deer. The officer fired at
him a couple of times, mostly to frighten
him. 1t did all right and the elusive in
dividual increased his speed to Scotty
pace. Nothing was heard of him until
the next morning, and the news received
was to the effect that he had reached
Apex before day break, had eaten some
breakfast and afterwards continued on
his record-reducing trip. The supposi.
tion is that he is still going. The three
the officer arrested were tried before Po
lice Magistrate Hooper Monday and
were fined $1,000 and trimmings, amount
ing in all to $1,000 a piece.
A letter was received by Coroner AS.
