CONTRACTOR CROOK ANXIOUS
TO COMPLETE SEWER SYSTEM
WANTS GET THIS CONTRACT OFF HIS HANDS
Has Acted In Accordance With Orders and
Insists Aggrayating Delay Was
Not Contractors Fault

j. A. Crook, the contractor asso-
ciated with Mr.. Gilligan in the con-
struction of the new trunk sewer
system arrived in the city Saturday.
He has been at work on some large
contracts in Seattle and has just re-
turned from Eugene, Oregon, where
he was making arrangements for
some steel bridges.
Speaking of the trouble over
the sewers here Mr. Crook said last
night that after the serving of the
injunction on the Gilligan company,
by Doctor Angus and others of Pros
ser, as party to the city of North
Yakima, he had caused the work to
stop and had wired his attorney, C..
F. Reavis at the home office of the
company at Falls City, Nebraska, for
| Instructions. Mr.. Reavis' reply was
to stop all work and wait for orders
1--WE are just as anxious to go on
with this work as any one is" said
Mr.. Crook, land that story about
our being connected with DR.. Angus in
his suit is all foolishness. What
have we to gain through such an ac-
tion? The council had expressed
it's willingness to grant us an ex-
tension of time before the suit was
L.
assigned for our connection with the
Sunnyside end of the affair. In the
mean time l am only waiting word
from the home office, that all legal
impediments have been removed be-
fore resuming work. We certainly
hope the delay will not last much
longer as the time now is very good
for another start. There are many
idle men in town and the water Is
sc ting lower every day.
II have heard that notice was
served by the city on our bondsmen
and also on our home office to con-
tinue the work, but as | have heard
nothing from there, do not think
the condition of affairs critical The
delay is no fault of ours and we have
in no way been a party to it; on the
other hand our tools have been kept
here ready to go to work with at any
time. We now have a pipe laid to
Yakima avenue and Ninth street
and would have been done now, had
we been allowed to so on without
hindranee
TIL company intends to establish a
branch office in Seattle with Mr.
Crook in charge as they have found
the territory to be reached from
there very rich in business opportuni-
ties.
The machine will not be returned
TO Yakima to be used in the compile
ton of the sewer here if it can be
kept busy in Seattle as in the soil
there it will earn great deal more
than it can here.
Mr.. Crook said that he had expect
ed to receive letter here. from Mr..
Reavis concerning the situation, but
! it had arrived and been forwarded
to Seattle and he would not get 1t
until his return
The last thing Mr.. Crook said was .
81 wish every one would understand
that We are very enxious to get to
work on this job and get it of ouf

they make no proposal looking toward
return to the hotel.
Nor does the crowd thin out. 1t Is
gala occasion among the good peo-
pie of the city, and they take advan-
tage of the occasion. With plenty Of
stirring music, cigar and beauty at
their side, the average Mexican citi-
zen is happy enough not to envy a

with that bad, wicked Professor
john" she says.
Bob chuckles.
81 thought you were quite taken
with that individual at one time" he
remarks.
ooh, that was before l found out
what a wretch he is. If he dares to
even look at me again, I'll tear his
hair out!" and at this Bob roars again
and again.
Apparently you don't know that
the professor wears wig, my dear
girl But don't worry your poor lit
tie head about the matter. Your own
Bob is able to manage that monster
of science. I'm waiting for the
chance to come when we can meet
face to face. He will make himself
scarce, If he's wise man."
They issue forth, and are soon
merged into the crowd that is on the
food-tide now, to ebb later on, when
the music is over. Already the open
air concert has begun. 1t is night of
nights, when Pedro Gomez, the leader
of the band, has promised to Guido all
previous efforts, and give program
to please the most exacting.
81 thought saw Senior Lopas," re-
marks Pauline.
| "Alone?"
"Juanita was with him, that strange
girl, in whom the good and evil seem
struggling for the mastery. | should
fear her, perhaps, under the circum-
stances, but something seems to pre-
vent me. Where l should hate, am
forced to love-"
These strange words annoy Dick
somewhat. He ponders over them
again and again, as if he would en-
deavor to see what influences cause
such an expression, but it battles him
More than once he appears about to
grasp the shadowy substance, but 1t
seems to melt away in thin air, and
he feels as though he had been chas'
ing a will-o'the-wis across some deep
vale or country churchyard.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1906-06-15

is bound to cor fess that he feels far
happier than ever before in all his
life. There is a charming sense OF
full ownership concerning the lovely
girl who clings to his arm-she has
confessed that she loves him, and al
though they are too sensible to act
like a pair of spooney lovers, they ex-
perience the same delight, not to be
described in cold words that comes
to all who feel the holy passion.
AS in the case of Colonel Bob, this
does not cause Dick to forget his reso-
luton to remain continually on the
qui vive, as danger hovers near. 1t Is
peculiar situation, but at some fu-
ture time, when these war clouds
have sunk forever beneath the hori-
zon they can afford to indulge in
loves young dream without one
thought of danger,
Now he sees the dark countenance
of Barcelona, and the look which the
bullfighter gives him Is enough to
warn even a more careless man than
Dick that peril menaces him. He has
already made up his mind that If an
assault Is made upon them openly on
the Alameda, he will, with Bob's as
sistance, standing back to back,
make the Mexicans recall the famous
days of the Alamo, when Texans piled
rampant of the slain around them
ere finally yielding up the ghost-men
whose names and memories have
been revered in Texan history as he
roes and patriots.
He has also made up his mind that
under such circumstances his first
bullet will be for Tordas Barcelona,
as he recognizes in this individual
| the man who would do him the most
harm. If the willy senior is in sight
he may come in for the second lead
en- messenger, unless Bob has alreaIIr
put a quietus upon him.
The hour grows later.
Still the music continues; indeed
Gomez and his band seem to have
kept their best work until now. Miss
Pauline and Dora do not think of re
firing from the plaza, and the gentle
men would not hint at such a thing
because they are not in the habit OF
showing the white feather. In this
case, of course, it might be justifiable
as they are considering others be-
sides themselves, but all the same
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1906-06-15

Now they reach the Alameda, the
plaza is filled with people. In the mid
die. upon the platform, Pedro Gomez,
the most favored leader south of the
Rio Grande, waves his baton. and his
military band play in manner that
no capital need be ashamed Of. Much
of the music is local or Spanish
bright fandango or a more sober
polka-a national tune, or some air
unknown to foreign ears, but which
has a pleasant ring when executed by
well-drilled Mexican musicians.
Dora is delighted; her feet keep time
to the music, and she huns the airs
as though they are quite familiar to
her. Given the opportunity, she
would dance in minute.
Bob has had his eyes about him.
He feels uneasy.
There is something in the strange
weird music, the crowds of dark-faced
people, and the very atmosphere, that
seems to warn him that danger is
afoot-enemies lowering near. He
does not imagine tie fact. but knows
that evil eyes are upon them all the
while.
So Colonel Bob, always ready
keeps his right arm free, and much
of the time his hand is upon a weap-
on which he can draw in an instant
with more speed than the average
man, for sheriff in Western state
has to be a man who can shoot while
the desperate across the room Is
drawing back the hammer.
And on this night, on the Alamo
da. is formed the compact against
the two comrades-men meet Senior
Lopez. and shake his hand, receiving
money, in some cases, and always a
sign that is to mark them as mem
bers of the clique, or league.
More than once desperate men
armed with the national knife, the
cuchlllo, haunt the footsteps of the
two Americans. anxious to earn the
rich reward offered; for the Mexican
senior. having been baffied so many
times in his efforts to make Pauline
prisoner, so that he may force her
to sign away her rights with regard
to the great FL Dorado Mine, and al
ways through the fundamentally oil
these men, has descended the scale
and sunk all respect for his honor
He realizes that he will never be al
lowed to do his will so long as the
Americans are alive: hence they must
bite the dust.
