oughly discussed.

The switchmen, crossngmen, dis
patchers, inspectors and others came

GETS TEMPORARY POSITION
Former Assistant Fire Chief Is Given
Appointment Of Telephone
0narafnr

D. A. Moriarty, formerly assistant
fire chief and later inspector in
the office of the building superin-
tendent, was yesterday appointed as
emergency telephone operator in the
fire department.
Mr.. Moriarty was assistant chief of
the fire department on two separate
occasions and was considered one of
the best fire fighters in the service.
While assistant chief in 1893 he sus-
tanned such a serious injury to one of
his legs that the member had to be
amputated. Since that time he has
hobbled around on an artificial limb.
AS a cork leg renders a fire fighter
practically useless, Mr.. Moriarty was
given employment In the office of the
building inspector and held that posi-
tion for a number of years. A few
months ago he was tried by the civil
service commission on charges of favor
ing one contractor over another in the
of fire escapes and the
ordered him dismissed from
the service.
The position Of telephone operator is
under civil service and 1t is doubtful
If the commission will permit him to
take the examination for the permanent
position on account of his dismissal. AS
the emergency appointee he will be
to hold the place for sixty
days or until permanent operator is

BOY DROWNS
IN RESERVOIR
LAD SLIPS FROM DAM INTO DEEP
WATER
Son Of Mrs. Lauretta McPeek Loses
Life In Pool at caIabasas.
Body Not Yet Re.
covered

Earle McPeek.. the fourteen year old
son of Mrs. Laurette McPeek, matron
at the central police station, was
drowned yesterday afternoon, in a
reservoir three miles from the Russell
ranch west of CalabaDas. The boy
with his family had been spending a
few days at the Hunter ranch, near by,
and had gone into the canyon on a
picnic with his mother and brothers.
He was playing about the dam and in
some way slipped and feel into the
water, which here is about eighty feet
deep. The body has not been recovered.
The McPeek family left Los Angeles
the first of the week for a vacation
outing, and went at once to the Rus
sell ranch. The boys were delighted
with country life and yesterday per-
suaded their mother to make a trip
with them into the canyon. Arrived at
the reservoir they halted for a basket
lunch.
Earle climbed upon the dam. Just
what happened thereafter is not known.
Perhaps he slipped and fell, perhaps a
part Of the structure gave away with
him. At any rate he was precipitated
into the water and drowned.
The McPeek home In this city is To-
Gated at sic South Avenue Twenty.

Experience Maketh Wise.

Argyle, Minn., May 5, 1906.
Editor of Sheaf: It is amusing as
we'll as instructive to read the cor
respondence in the different papers
in regard to dividing Marshall coun-
ty, even our old friend w. H. Ing
alls is getting excited over it, he
seems to think that no one will vote
against the proposition; then again,
his old neighbor, L. P. Brandstrom.
hopes the voters of this county have
sense enough not to divide. So it
goes.
Now 1 believe this to be a question
that will stand arguing from both
sides. 1t looks to me as though our
eastern brothers had an infant on
their hands that must and should be
taken care of, and if, as Mr.. Ingalls,
says, it will not increase their taxes
more Than S. per quarter section of
land to give that infant boost, it
seems to me they are foolish to kick.
They not only boost up the business
men and toWnsite company of Middle
River to happy and prosperous con-
dition, but it is also liable to boost
up few needy farmers to a county
office and perhaps help to check the
emigration from this county to Can
ada. When l stop to think Of my
past experiences in this county l am
compelled to say, divide, and as soon
as possible. Don't fool away your
chances by voting against SO impor-
tant a proposition. just think of the
number of your old friends OF past
campaigns that you may help to lift
lrom toll and drudgery on a mortgage
ed farm to seat in your new court
house, no matter if you do have to
run in debt to build it.. We are all
used to debts, so by all means, 1 say,
divide if possible. Make it four coun-
ties instead Of two. We will have
candidates enough in the field to fill
all offices. and some left that can be
appointed to important positions on
the side.
Mr.. H. O. Berve asks in his letter
if Middle River intends to pay the
officers salaries, books, records, etc.
What foolish question to ask. Let
the old settlers pay expenses. They
own the land and will get the expert
ence. They have wanted a county
seat for years, now is the time. He
also says it would be better for the
farmers to use the money in build
ing roads instead Of a Court house,
never mind the roads, they are an
expensive luxury. Better do as 1
do when l go east. /, wait until it
freezes up, before l go. So say,
