OF three strips of cuticle three or four
inches long and three-fourths of an
inch wide After the operation he
found that the front of his legs be

IN accident with lamp at Lewiston,

Serving Two Masters.

The report of the sanitary commit
tee brought forth the charge that the
sanitary officer of the city was serving
two masters; he was receiving pay
from the city for doing his work, and
pay from the city scavenger for not
doing it. Under these conditions, it
was claimed that he could not render
efficient service to the city. Mr. Riley,
of the sanitary committee, stated that
sanitary conditions were not as they
should be, but preferred to wait a
while before submitting report. The
sanitary committee was ordered to
thoroughly investigate the charges
and report to the next session of the
council.
Alderman Nichol asked that the Or
dinance compelling property owners
to put down sidewalks be enforced
against certain parties on East Second

dered the courtsey of TIE floor that
they might be heard in behalf Of the
measure. In the course d the speech
es made by the delegates, a lively tilt
occurred between them and City En-
gineer Harper, who took exceptions TO
some of the remarks made on the
Coor. The delegation was then inform
ed that the ordinance for this purpose
had been passed at the last session of
the council, instructing the city en-
g.neer to establish this grade as soon
as possible.

The train crew on the southbound

remains of negro man lying just be-
side the tracks at the crossing Oppo-
site the hardwood mill. in the out
skirts of town Tuesday morning. The
engineer was the first to see the body,
and stopped his train and backed up
thinking he had run over a man and
killed him at first Examination
showed, however, that No 8 had not
done the work, as the man had evi-
IDENTIFY been dead for some little while,
although the body was still warm.
A great cash in the back of his head,
just above and slightly back of the
left ear, was the only wound discover
ell upon his person.
The matter was reported to the Off
clals Immediately upon the arrival of
the train at the depot here, and the

mains, but owing to the absence of

For while the theory of murder
predominated, but it is now pretty
generally believed that the man was
struck by train No. 4. northbound. and
killed. 1t was ascertained Tuesday
morning that his name was William
Baul, and that he was eighteen years
of age. An examination of the spot
where he was found showed no indi-
cations of struggle of any kind, but
on the other hand all the indications
pointed to the theory that he had
been sitting upright beside the tracks
and a train struck him in the head,
killing him almost instantly When
found his body was lying almost par
allel with the tracks, with the con-
cussion in his head upward. One wit
hess at the coroner's inquest stated
that he had found brains and blood
spots just seven cross-ties from where
the body was lying, and north of it.
