OFFICES FILLED

Two Marketmasters And Two

Board of Public Works Determined
to Fight out Question of Right

TOOK STEP AT ITS MEETING.

wHARFMAsTER - Frank
Brown.
SEWER INSPECTOR =. A.
FRANKIE or A. Bundesman.

Regardless of the exercise of that
right by the general council, three
city officials were elected yesterday
afternoon at the meeting of the board
OF public works, and 1t may mean a
settlement OF the right Of appointment
in the courts If either the appodntees
of the board of public works or those
made by the general council contend
for the positions.
The board of pu1 lie works claims
under the charter Of second class cit
les that IT alone hss the right to ap,
point officers to the above three posi-
tons because it has control of the
wharf, sewers and market house. Its
petition to the general council to that
effect was ignored. and 1t proceeded
to the election notwithstanding.
The council appointees are market
master, Charles e. Bell; wharfmaster
Frank Brown. and sewer inspector,
A. Bundesman.
The question OF the right to APP
point was before the present general
council The board Of public works
restseits claim on implication Moth
ing is said in the charter as to the
|appolntive power and the Offices are
created by the general council which
has consistently assumed the right to
I'll them. The city solicitor in his
opinion did not give the board OF pub
iiic works any satisfaction, so II en-
|ployed an outside firm to bring an
|oginion.
The officers assume their new du-
ties January /, when interesting COM
plications will result. with possibili-
YES of injunctions and law suits,
that may cost the city. the members
of the board of public works, individ-
|ually, and the contestants a consider

Awakening from her sleep at a
o'clock this morning, Mrs. A. F. Mil
Ter, residing eight miles from the city
on the Hinkleville road. found a
brisk fire rapidly eating its way into
her kitchen floor. without word
to her sleeping husband she procured

knew nothing of their danger until
they arose some time later.
Mr.. Miller is well known farmer.
He retired last evening early and
left a fire in the kitchen stove. He
awoke last night feeling that some
thing wrong had happened or was
about to happen, but did not rise. He
was soon asleep again. At this time
he smelled no smoke and had not
the least warning that his house was
afire.
Four o'clock is getting up time
for his wife and going into the
kitchen she beheld the room ablaze.
Flames four feet high confronted
her. Grabbing up a bucket OF water.
which was fortunately handy, Mrs.
Miller dashed II on the blaze. Run
ming to the wei she procured the sec
ond, and third, and never ceased her
rapid work until the last spark was
lput out.
But for the fortunate discovery
the house might have been destroy
ed and the family consumed. The
fire originated from the kitchen
stove.

throw up his hands. Jack did as
ordered and the little fellow pulled
the trigger. As the rifle was loaded

unfortunate boy, just below the
heart and passing clear through his
body.

HALF BREED SUSPECTED OF
CRIME, LARGE POSSE IN
PURSUIT

Santa Maria, Cal, Oct. 2y.--
Probably one Of the most cold
blooded and unnecessary murders
was committed here today.
Mrs. Lawrence Hourihand and
her two daughters were husking corn
in the back of their house this after
noon They were accosted by a
man and the women made no re-
sponse.
This seemed to infuriate the man
and he drew a gun and fired at the
group. One shot struck the older
girl, aged lG, and she. died soon
after.
A passing automobile party heard
the shots and saw the man escaping.
They fred several shots, but all went
wild, and the man got away.
Nat Hatwell, a half-breed Span
lard, is suspected of the crime. For
a time he had worked on the Houri-
han farm, but was recently dis
charged.
As soon IS the report OF the shoot
ing reached town a posse was formed
and they are now in pursuit.
