THOSE DIRT Bills

y
CHARGE AND SAYS EVERY
LOAD CHARGED FOR WAS De
LivERED.
Last evening during sthe wait for a
quorum for the eitys council, the
excavating contractor who was
alluded to by the Tribune Thurs
day as not having placed the dirt on
the street for which he had charged
the city, asked the members Of the
council what they were going to do
about his bill. The aldermen present
talked the matter over informally but
could do nothing. The contractor
stated that every load Of dirt charged
to the city by him had been put on
the street where he was directed to
put 1t by the chairman Of the street
committee, the street commissioner
or the city engineer, and that not a
cent had been charged to the city for
dirt which had not been delivered In
good faith, all Of which he said he
I. could abund liant y prove. He emphat.
ically denied that he had been paid
by anybody for the dirt from the
laundry excavation, except,.of courae.
the pay he received for removing It
from the ground, and he stated
definitely just where the dirt Il had
been placed on the streets at the
direction of those in authority. He
said he did not have to sell the dirt
to the city as there was al lively de-
mand for It at ten cents . yard from
property owners who wished TO fll
law lots or level up their lawns, but
that the city authorities had been
very anxious to get the dirt for the
streets and insisted that that is where
the dirt from the laundry went. He
was very emphatic that this dirt in
/ question did not go on private prop.
erty, ard said that now that a row
had been made over this system Of
buying dirt the authorities we're try
ing to avoid the issue and throw the
onus on him and he supposed they
would try to make It out they knew
nothing about the matter. but he
could prove that they showed him
where to place the dirt and that the
dirtsWent where they ordered tito go.
The city engineer, to. whom the
various bills for dirt were referred in
an effort to discover where the dirt
was placed and how much Of IL went
iainto. the sewer trenches, had returned
the bills to the city auditor with
pencil comment on the bottom Of the
bills. AT the time the; dirt was de-
Iivered the engineer was not then in
charge of the street work as he is
now supposed to be, but it was sup
posed he knew, at least in a general
way, where the filing was being done.
On the bill for the laundry dirt is the
notation that he did not know any
1 thing about that bill, and further
notation that the certificate that 631
u yards Of dirt had been removed from
/ the laundry excavation had no bust
ness to accompany the bill, as the
certificate was given 70 the contractor
81 for the sole purpose Of affecting q
settlement between the contractor

WAS NOT EFFECTED. g
For the first time in several years
"a burglary OF a place of business In
Bismarck has occurred. s5 j.
Sometime during last night, prob
ably between 2 and o'clock, a large
pane of glass in the rear of the
Strauss jeWelry store was broken, by
thieves who through the opening en-
tered the store, stole about $3.50 worth
Of small jewelry and trinkets and got
away with their plumber undetected.
| In entering through the broken win
dow the thief or thieves severely cut
q hAnd as blood was found on the
floor leading from and to the window
and on the show cases and on some
Of the goods not taken. The cut
must must have been a bad one from the
quantity of blood lost by the robber,
and this should lead to the discovery
Of the thief. &f F "
The safe was not touched, which,
IN conjunction with the character Of
1.-The the goods stolen leads to the belief
fthat the crime was committed by
some Of the local young men or boys
who are going the pace that kills and
cannot can or do not earn half the money
T they spend for booze or other 1uxuries.
The articles taken were: two field
glasses, cut glass cologne bottle, the
cork OF which was left behind, a box
of silver tea spoons, 10 gold fob
chains, Is silk fob chains, Is brace
lets and chains. two silver bracelets,
IT, gold rings, SO silver thimbles, 10
silver scissors with novelties at
tached, 10 napkin rings and two
| candle sticks. Mr.. Strauss says
there may have been other things
taken, but that is all he could think
OF at the time he was seen. < Pr
r. There was light burning in the
store at the time and persons passing
could have seen the, robbers as they
| worked at#the cases close to the front
| win ows and "a evidently made a
thorough Investigation Of the store as
blood was found all over it. ri. n T.
Mr.. Strauss is Ia member Of 1.-THE

offer Of 500 for the arrest and bon
viction Of anyone entering ,aSstorea ii

Of glass was broken out but there

"The Matchmaker"

A full house greeted Daniel Sully in
The Matchmaker" at the Opera house
last evening, and had the pleasure of
witnessing 4 real treat. Indeed it is
not too much to say that the play was
one of the finest productions that has
appeared in the city in a long time.
4 bright comedy. with the deeper
pathos ana above all, clean and whole
some III every detail made the play
one that was 4 pleasure to witness.
There Was not 4 weak place in the
cast, and while larger companies may
have visited our city. it is safe to say
that few that come this way equal it
in cleverness.
Mr. Sully as Father DAILY" of course
was the central figure of the evening
ana his work was of the strongest.
True to all the prccepts of the calling
of the priest he yet had the whole
hearted humnr of the Irish race that
made the evening one of delight.
All the rest were excellent. +. A.
Turner, as Arnold Leslie and Ethel
Wright rs Margaret Manning" both
deserve special mention for their work
while Frank Stone as Col FitZhugh
Morris" was above criticism. as was
Pauline Harise. Other strong work
was done by Robert Strauss and Ger
trude Earl.
Not the least pleasing feature Of tn"
evening was the presentation of a
beautiful bouquet of flowers to Mr..
Sully by the Knights of Columbus. I'M
der " hose auspices the play was given.
Augusta % oplr will always have z wei
come for Mr. Sully and his company,
whenever they come here, ANA hope il
will be often.
