Plans for the new city hall are now
being worked out. by Architect F. T.
Howard and within short time theS
will be submitted to the council foFc
approval. After being accepted, bIds@
for the erection of the building WIN
be asked for at once and the work:
carried to completion as fast as pos
sible.
As outlined at present the PLANS
provide for a building 72xSo feet
ground plan, and two stories in
height. The lot upon which the
building will stand is 80 feet by 100.
Consequently there will be room for
small park on Alta and Cottonwood
streets. 1t is estimated that tho
building will cost s2s,000 to $4,000.
The main entrance to the city hill
will be on Alta street and in the CEN
ter of the building. On the first
floor there will be four offices on the
Alta street side. The recorders Of
flee will be in the northeast corner.
next to it the office of the mayor.
While on the opposite side of the hair
will be located the marshal's and the.
water superintendent's offices. Back;
of the offices will be a hallway.
from the hall directly in the rear of
the recorders office. This room Will
be 20xSO. The southeast corner of
the lower floor will be devoted to
housing the fire department appar-
atus, room 25x4s feet being used for
that purpose. The entrance to the
fire apparatus room will be from Cot.
tonwood street.
In the opposite rear corner, the
southwest, will be located the city
Jail, occupying space 22x30 feet, with
two cells in the center. There will be
an entrance to the Jail from the hall
way, and also from an alley extending
down the west side of the building
from Alta street.
The second floor of the city halr
will be used for a council chamber,
firemens quarters and offices. The
council chamber will be on the west
side and will be large enough to ac-
commodate a moderate number of
spectators. The firemen's hall will be
IN the northeast corner just above the
apparatus room, and it will be 29x50'
feet. Adjoining the hall will be a
firemen's reading room. and adjoining
that the office OF the fire chief.
The rest of the upper floor will be
taken up by an office for the city sur
veyor, two committee rooms and two.
offices, not yet assigned.

TWO To ONE IN
NELSON s FAVOR
THE ODDS EXPECTED TO
BE GIVEN BEFORE NIGHT.
Both Fighters Profess to Be in Perfect
Condition and Entirely Confident
OF the Outcome-Britt VIII Quit
the Game IL He Does Not Whip
Nelson-Salc OF Reserved Seats
Very Rapid.

San Francisco, July 31.-Bettine
on the Britt-Nelson fight opened
lively this morning, with plenty OF
money in sight on both sides. The
Nelsonites continued to bet at 10 to 6,
and the Britt admirers are keen to
take it up. So much Nelson coin is
on tap, however, that odds in all
probability will go to 2 TO l before
nightfall.
Both the fighters are resting only
a few miles apart in sunny Marin
county, where a leisurely walk will
bring out the perspiration. Both
slept late this morning and after
breakfast went out on the road for a
breather. More than to take short
walks they will not do, as both are
down to weight and ready for the
weighing-in process, which will take
place at o'clock. They will not
come to San Francisco until late this
afternoon.
Nelson in his just before the battle
statement says: II have never been
in better condition in my life, and
will prove to the public the report
that l am in a bad condition as a
result with the fight with Cans, is
false. I expect to put Britt away in
less time than was required in our
fight at Colima."
Britt says: II am better satisfied
with my condition than was when
met Nelson two years ago. Have
been preparing myself for this fight
for almost six months, and If 1 don't
whip the Dane tonight it will be be-
cause he is the better man, not be-
cause l am in fine condition. But
know I am the better man, and If
don't win will quit the game"
Both the fighters are expected to
be pronounced physically perfect.
The reserved seat portion of the
house is almost entirely sold out this
morning.

thieves were so bold in their work
that many residents of that section
had become intimidated by them.
But though many charges were made
at that time it was impossible for
the complainants to produce any
tangible cases for the officers to
work upon at that time and nothing
came of the matter.
However, Price and Connell are
now in durance vile. According to
Sheriff Taylor there is a very strong
case against the two men, though
both deny their guilt.
Price and Connell are accused of
having stolen a band of horses from
Camas Prairie people and of having

Roy Connell and Jim Price, both
of the Camas Prairie country, are
now lodged in the county Jail,
charged with horsestealing. Price
