Editor Echo:
Permitting me space in your valua-

against, and call attention of taxpayers
of Leavenworth to, ordinance No. %,
passed by the town council sometime
ago, in which said council vacates
strip of land ten feet in width on each
side OF Ash street in First addition
thereby reducing width of said street
from 80 to 90 feet, and dedicating said
vacated strips of land to the perpetual
private use of abutting property owners
absolutely free of all costs and for no
legitimate reason whatever. This ac-
ton is certainly against public policy
and uncalled for except to satisfy the
avaricious desires OF few property
owners on said street to graft some
thing for nothing Numbered among
the benefciaries of this free distribution
OF public domain is member of the
town council which passed the ordi-
nance and who has frontage OF 270 feet
on Ash street; he, therefore, receives
as gift from his fellow-councilmen
2,700 square feet OF public domain.
Another citizen, who, a year ago was
the most rabid of all advocates Of incor-
poration, and who is credited with be-
ing the instigator of aforesaid ordinance,
is fortunate enough to have frontage
on Ash street and, therefore, the town
council presents him with D, 100 square
feet OF public domain for no other con-
sideration than that he is good fell

by ordinance No. %, given to one of its
own members and few other favored
ones a total of $4,000 square feet Of

council allows this ordinance to become
operative it will establish dangerous
precedent and in the future it cannot
honestly and consistently reject other
petitions to vacate streets and alleys
and dedicate the same to private use.

MAN DECAPITATED
Fell Under Wheels Near PeshastIn
sunday Night

Last Sunday night about ten O. clock
word was received that a man had been
killed on the railroad track near Pc
shastin. Marshal Debord went after
the body and found it in charge of a
track walker one and half miles this
side of Peshastin. One foot had been cut
off, one arm was broken and the head
entirely severed from the body. 1t
was brought here and Coroner Saun-
ders notified. He came up on the
train from Wenatchee Monday after
noon. After making an examination
decided that an inquest was not nee
essary. From all the information OBJ
tainable it appears the man was beat
ing his way by riding on the rods or
brake beam of a freight train that left
here on Sunday evening going east
and lost his hold or was struck by some
thing and fell off.
The man appeared to be between As
and SO years old and of rather gen.
teel appearance. The hair was gray
but the mustache dark brown and
slightly gray. From papers found on
the body it appears his name was
James Graham, and at sometime he
must have made his home in Denver,
Colorado as he had letters with that
address. The body was sent to Wenat-
chez for burial.
