effect.
The city council will meet this ev-
ening to consider the matter of build
ing a bridge, subject which has been
under consideration for some time.
and as 1t is an adjourned regular
meeting 1t is probable that an ordin.
ance will be introduced having as its
purpose the regulation of proper OBJ
servance of the Sabbath in Durango.
1t is said now that Ordinance No.
229 could not have been repealed IL
there had not been some assurance
that the saloons could again open af.
ter midnight and on Sunday, and since
the sheriff has reinforced his order
to observe the state laws, 1t is propos-
ed to secure some law which will at
least close the billiard and pool rooms
midnight and Sunday. The saloon peo-
pie appear to be divided on this prop
osition. Some OF them want to let
229 stand wiped ont so they can put
partitions across their saloons and
run their pool tables after midnight
and on Sunday; others are in favor Of
enforcing the laws as they appear on
the statutes.
II the council is willing to divide
It's attention this evening. leaving the
bridge matter long enough to take up
the new ordinance, spirited discus
sion OF the substitute for 229 is ex-
pected.
There are hve steel bridge men here
now and more are expected in this
evening.

Young Rich was held for the felon-
iOus killing of Morgan. and 1t Is said
by one of the attending physicians that

ut will be remembered that Morgan
and his brother, Canadians, employed
at the mill. were tatken out in the hills
to hold bag for snipe and that they
confided in the good fellowship of
their comrades to the extent of staying
out until nearly frozen. and on their
return found their bunk house barred
against them. They became enraged
and 1t now appears that instead of
Rich doing the decent thing, he shot
one of them because it was easy

serve as warning to hoodlums who
enjoy that sport that gives their tel.
