The marshal told him then that he had no desire to treat him harshly and really preferred his room in town to his company, and that if he would go back and work the rest of Tuesday without the ball and chain and would agree to get his money and leave town, he would be liberated Wednesday morning. He promised and went back to work but inside of two hours he had given the chain gang the slip again. had cashed his check and paid whisky bill he owed and was trying to keep under cover when he was captured again by the police.

RESUME WORK
ON CITY SEWER

All surveys preparatory to the re-
SUMPTION of work on the down town
sewer system have been completed by
Engineer Guilland and the construc-
ton work will be commenced as soon
as the material and equipment can be
distributed by Contractor Clarke.
Mr.. Clarke arrived in Lewiston two
days ago and it is expected the work
will be resumed within a few days.
The labor situation may prevent the
operations being commenced on a
large scale at this time, but an effort
will be made to secure a large force
of locally unemployed and after this
supply has been exhausted it is prob
able a shipment Of labor from outside
points will be made.
The work last fall was largely per-
formed by men from the railroad
camps who were passing from the
Riparia construction to the work above
CuIdesac. but with the completion OF
the Riparia grade work few railroad
laborers have passed through the city
and the sewer work will necessarily
be performed by men brought from
other quarters.
