In closing he pointed out the advantage of having another business street in the city, and the insignificant amount which will have to be paid by the individual taxpayer to secure the big improve ment.
 There were several reservations made in the contract to make it con form with existing conditions, the most important of which was to asK of the property holders deed to only the surface rights and reasonable number Of feet downward, leaving to the property holder the mineral right.
 The contract will be submitted to the<-various property holders within the next few days by a committee of the council and there seems to be pt- tie doubt that it will meet with their approval.

OWN TROUBLES
 TOOK UP TIME
 OF WITNESSES
Those Subpoenaed In Brady Wilson Assault Case Were Settling Own Disputes At Time of Big Fracas

Sweeney said everyone was drunk that is with his exception-''Not down in the dirt drunk, your honor, but just with comfortable jags on" he explained, and nearly everybody in the court room believed as Sweeney did before the hearing was over.
 Sweeney was a witness in Judge Burdick's court yesterday in the case of s. F. Wilson, a bartender, charged with assault with intent to kili, com mitted on John Brady in the Butte sa- loon early Thursday morning.
 Brady who caused the complaint to De made out against Wilson, first swore that Wilson struck him with gun on the side of the head, but later made the statement that the bartend- CT shot him. The. trouble apparently started over nothing.
 "I saw Wilson reach in a drawer for something" said Brady, while on the stand. When he brought his hand out he had gun in it. l start ed Tor the door when he struck me and I fell to the floor"
 How far were you from Wilson when he struck you?" Asked Attorney Neale.
 70, about six feet" answered Brady.
 fsYou mean to say that this man Wflson reached over the bar and struck you and you six feet away? shouted the attorney.
 T guess he did. He either struck me or shot me, I don't know for sure which" said Brady.
 Then expert testimony was demand ed. D. Johnson, of the Calumet & Ari- zona dispensary, who treated Brady's wound took the stand. He described the wound as a laceration an inch and a hall in length on his head and not of serious nature.
 eIn your opinion, doctor, was it a bullet wound9" asked District Attor- ney Shelley.

 A communication from Thomas Higgins, owner of a great deal of property in Tombstone Canyon, was read. It dealt with the matter of the sewer system and the electric line crossing his property, but only in a general way. the writer being in ba0 health and unable to attend to busi- ness until he arrives in the city with in the next few weeks.
 The various claims against the city were then reported on by the finance committee favorably and allowed by the council.
 Several other matters of minor i'm portance were to nave been taken up but owing to the lateness of the hour were laid on the table. The council adjourned at 11:30 o'clock

The total cost ot the new subway will be s50,000.
 The suDway quesucn precipitated a controversy which was indulged in about an hour and a half on various sides. Objections were made by some present to the clause providing that the city at large should stand 20 per cent of the cost of reconstructing the waterway. Mayor Caven called on several for an expression of their opinions in all of which the main argument against the project seemed to be that the improvement was be- ing made in the business section of the town instead of the locality in which the speaker happened to be a property holder.
 In answering the objections Mayer Caven pointed out that in the first place the reconstruction of the sub way is a matter of the utmost import ance to the future of Bistee, tn1s De- ing the practical way to get the electric car line to the westerly limits of the city, and afford the people in that vicinity the same advantages as win be enjoyed by the people of Warren. He then brought out the fact that the property owners who will have to bear 80 per cent of the cost of re- construction, pay about one-third of

Attorney Neale then asked that the case be thrown out of court as the prosecuting witness had not made out a case against the defendant, but Judge Burdick waated to hear the rest of the witnesses.
 Pat Miller and Paddy Brawshaw both swore that they were present at the time of the trouble, but their testimony indicated that they were settling dispute of their own and had cliDched and fallen to the floor and were rolling under beer table in the rear of the room when Wilson is said to have assaulted Brady.
 A witness named De Luc, swors Brady, armed with an iron pipe, ran toward the bar as though he were go- ing to assault Wilson when Wilson struck him, he didn't know what with. Brady, he said, took few steps to- ward the door after he was struck, then fell but got up quickly and dis appeared.
 James Flynn, another witness, swore he was in the saloon at the time but was engaged in a fist fight with Kid Lewis, a local pug" and was prevented from seeing what was going on.
 Sweeny said he was there fin the hottest" and that he saw Brady lean ing on the bar as if ready to vault it. when Wilson struck him. He didn't know what Wilson had in his hand. The crowd got between Sweeney and Brady so he couldn't see him fall, that being the only event he missed.
 Judge Burdicl1 took the case under advisement.

SERIOUSLY ILL

New York, May 2.-Announcement
was made last night that the Rt. Rev,
Henry Goldman Potter, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of New York, is so
seriously i'll that he has been forced
to abandon his participation in the
affairs of the church.
For a week Bishop Potter has been
confined to his room in his residence
in West Eighty ninth street, suffering
from the effects of a ply break
down. due to overwork. His condi-
ton, which by his physician and by
those friends who have seen him is
admitted to be grave, has been made
worse by attacks of stomach and liver
trouble.
Bishop Potter is - years old, and
until the day his health gave way, he
insisted on doing as much work as
was done by men much younger and
stronger. There was slight improve
ment in his condition yesterday, when
it became possible for him to sit on
couch in his room for short time
He is still very weak. however.
