A MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY

Wallace, Idaho, Aug. s.-The
sheriff's office has been notified Of the
discovery of the remains Of dead
man on the north fork of the Clear
water river, about 45 miles from Iron
mountain, and Deputy Sheriff Will
liams and Coroner D. f. Keys, both
residents of Mullan, left for the scene
to prosecute an investigation.
The remains were found not far
from cabin, and we're evidently
those Of an elderly or middle aged
man and appeared to have lain where
discovered since about February. A
diary, is reported, was found near the
body, but the name in the book, IL
any there were, has not been given
the sheriff, 80 the officials are still in
the dark as to the identity Of the
body.
The diary according to the inform
ant, had been kept up to some time
in February, and notations were
made by the writer that his eyesight
was leaving him. At last he wrote
that be was almost blind, and the
next entry was simply q scrwling
mark to show that the writer could
not see what he was doing. A line
Of miners fuse was found connect
ing the door Of the cabin with near
by brOOklet or spring, evidently plAc-
ed there when the unfortunate pros

PASS SEWER
ORDINANCE
City Council Transacts Much Inn
pOrtant Business

An adjourned regular meeting Of
the council was held last night and
the sewer ordinance launched. Those
present were Mayor Collins, w. A.
Andrew, and Geo. Williams.
After pssing over several small re-
ports, the report Of FIRE and water
committee was heard. This showed
that the hydrants at the corner Of
Fourth and Wallace, Sherman and
Second streets, and also one near the
depot are out Of order, and are prac-
tically useless. w. A. Andrew stated
that these hydrants were damaged by
excessive use by the sprinkler, and
said that the present arrangements
for getting water for the sprinkler was
a poor one, due to the fact that when
the water was turned on, it was only
turned part way, not allowing the
full amount of water to pass out, but
letting large amount of it flow back,
washing out the foundation under the
hydrants. Mr. Collins stated that
new valves had been ordered, which,
when installed would remedy the
present trouble.
o. B. Moon was present, and asked
on behalf Of the residents Of Sherman
street, that the city have the sprinkler
spend more Of its time on that por-
tion of Sherman street where. grad
ing has been done, stating that the
dust was deep, and at times unbeara-
BILE.
Mayor Collins told him that with
the present small force, they were un-
able to give them better service.
The report of the committee on
streets and public property was made
by Geo. Williams, who stated that
Mr. Weile would be in the city dur
ing the week, for the purpose Of
checking up the grade ON Sherman
street.
Reporting for the health and police
comittee, Mayor Collins stated that
he had employed man with a tank
W uhAAAlG tAAN AAAbuEE anu NN1HPNb
Mr.. Andrew informed Mr.. Moon
that the sprinkling bill for the past
month was $3.50, and that the large
ness of the bill was due to the excess
sive sprinkling on that part of Sher-
man street where Moon had asked for
more water. He also stated that the
sprinkler was often on the streets all
night.
Mr.. Andrew, who has been acting
as a special committee in charge of
the rock crusher, stated that he had
had the crusher taken To the rock pile
and made ready for use. The ques-
tion Of purchasing the land in that
vicinity came up and ON a motion by
Andrew the chairman was directed to |
purchase five acres of land from
Ralph Best, that land being the por-
tion now covered by a rockslide, and
located east Of town, for the purpose
of furnishing the city with crushed !
rock for use in matchmaking the |
streets, at a price not to exceed $500. |
Mr.. Anderw stated that an expert on /
had said that the rock /

and very desirable for this work.
Mayor Collins stated that he had
purchased the land, and that he was
ready to transfer it to the city for
$500. Also, that Ralph Best would
dedicate a street to the city in his
tract Of land.
The report Of the village treasurer
was received and placed on file. This
report showed balance on hand OIL
e21s.9I The report OF the justice Of
the peace showed that flnes amonnt-
ing TO s116 had been collected dur
ing the month Of July. This report
was laid over, awaiting the marshal's
report.
The report Of road overseer showed
that but 175 poll tax receipts had
been issued to date, from October 4,
1905. Andrew said that this amount
was ridicuously small, and asked why
more taxes had mot been collected.
After some discussion the chairman
was directed to instruct tbs road
overseer to collect all taxes possible
and to prosecute any who might re-
fuse TO pay. The board was inform
ed that Anderson had refused 10 pay
his tax, and after having another man
work 1t out for him he refused to pay
the man. He also refused to Pay for
moving the lumber In front OF the
Rogers building on July 4. The re-
port Of the road overseer was received
and placed on file.
Under petitions, the clerk read a
communication from J. p. Lanier
asking that he be granted license
for saloon in the building recently
occupied by E. Biorlllund. On
motion by Andrew the application
was laid on the table.
The finance aud claims committee
allowed bills amounting to 1854. rs.
The sewer ordinance was submitted
by the sewer committee and readsthe
first time for passage. This ordinance
provides for the establishment 81

sions Of the ordinance requires the
treasurer Of the village, who shall al
so act as treasurer Of the sewer COM
mittee, to give a sufficient bond.
The amount filled in by the board
was s15, 900.
Andrew stated that superintendent
bad not been appointed for the Gene
terry, and by a motion, Sam Smith
was appointed to fill this Office, az d
salary OF ESQ month. There was
some discussion over the price Of lots
in the cemetery, the clerk asking II
one party could purchase one lot con-
tanning three graves for s15. He
was told that one person could pur.
chase as many lots as he desired IL
he would pay for them at the rate es-
tablished in the ordinance.
The meeting adjourned TO Ave
o'clock this evening, when the sewer
ordinance will pass its second read
ing.

GRAND JURY.
Foreman Says That Entire
Police Force Should Be
Put on Duty in the City

The Grand Jury will recommend at
its next meeting that every member of
the Police and Fire departments be put
on duty Immediately The numerous
crimes that have been committed re-
Gently and the failure of the Police De-
partment to bring the culprits to sjus-
tice have aroused the members of the
inquisitorial body to action. Foreman
Brannan will suggest that a chain
gang be established
Brannan has taken cognizance of the
deplorable condition of the Police and
Fire departments at the present time
He said yesterday: The terrible crimes
that have been committed recently and
the inability of the police to capture
the perpetrators mean that some dras-
tic measures must be taken. Every
member of the Police Department is
needed now more than ever, as the
