WANTS BIRMINGHAM PJ7 ON 7RO7TING CIRCUIT
 WI7H OTHER BIC CITIES
ODOROUS FELI'E
 IN THE GOAL HOUSE
NOVEL COMPLAINT IS MADE TO
 CITY SANITARY INSPECTOR. ANOTHER WOMAN WANTS HER
 NElGHBORS WINDOWS NAILED.

"Oh, Mr. Sanitary Officer I wish you would send a man out here and make my neighbor move away; she has a bad odor" were the words which came from a feminine voice over the telephone yes- terday to the street commissioner of- fee. It was at a time when a number of the servants of the city from the de- partments were holding little consulta- ton, and their laugh when the request was told was only circumstantial when compared to the thunder which followed other little truthful anecdotes.
 It seems that the people of Birmingham not only take an interest in electing their officers, but use them as servants when ever the chance offers. When the sani- tary officer went to investigate the odor of the next door neighbor he found that the lady who made the complaint had one of those feline animals, whose profes- sion is to to smell bad, in her own coal house.
 Only the day before a woman, as tall as house, and not less lean, pushed herself through the commissioner office and de- manded that her next door neighbor be put in jail right then. It soon appeared, between her exhausted pauses, that the water from one house ran off on the roof of the other, and despite all her railings the neighbor would not keep the water to herself.
 Another desired that all the windows on the near side of her neighbor's house be nailed up to keep them from seeing what was going on across the way. If all the requests to force people to build new fences were carried out, Birmingham would be newly fenced in.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-According
to the district attorneys office Eugene

tions in ink occur In the printed volume
and the prosecution refuses 10 accePt
service in this matter.
Schmitz was sentenced July and FAR
all took his appeal on the same oay' as
suming that judgment had been entered
on the rough minutes. The fact that
this had not been done. it is declared,
made his appeal fruitless.
Judgment was not entered or engrossea
until July II, three days later, and Clerk
McManus of Judge Dunnes court has
made an affidavit to that effect.
The law, however, allows ninety days
in which a new appeal may be filed.
Fairall, who did not discover his error
until the printed transcript was placed
in his hands, allowed this period TO slip
by without making any move. ne thei,
1t is said, induced Deputy Clerk Buckley
to set the date of entry back to July g..
The correction both in the certificate OF
Judgment and the certificate of appeal
appear on the margin il. ink under
Buckley's initials. The district attor-
neys office refused to accept service.
The transcript of appeal bears on its
back neither the signature of Mr.. Lang

made public by Fairall himself, who
started an investigation by declaring the
records of the court had been changed.
