Every conceivable scheme is being used
by the finance committee of the council

amounts in all funds to about $50, 900, de-
spite the fact that the sI25,G00 carried in
the special funds is included in the to-
TAI cash the city has in the bank

The jury summoned TO INQUIRE into the

Aaron to stop three times before he
fired the fatal shot, but without the in

scribed the manner in which Aaron broke
away from the chain gang. The two pris-
oners corroborated Policeman Harris
story and Garrison correlated Policeman
K2st.
Chief Pitt was asked what were the
duties of the policemen detailed as guards
of the chain gang.
1t is their duty to take the prison
ers out to work and bring them back, ."
replied the chief.

jurors.
Not particularly that" said Chief
Pitt. but to bring them back"
DO YOU expect the guards to kill

tinued the juror.
''Well," answered Chlet Pitt, they are
there TO do their duty. No, | don't think
il their duty TO kill runaway prisoner
but they should wing him in some way
to keep him from getting away"

owners have not been properly notified
that they have something coming.
1t also appears that after deducting the
rebates due that there is substantial
balance in the fund and, as the paving
company has been fully paid, 1t does not
appear what is to become of this. 1t may
be perpetual offset against overdrafts
or 1t may be juggled in some way so
that the city can use it for other work.

1906 and the property owners have ten

Warrants in Auditors Hands.

These warrants. TO the amount of ST.
l24.S9. are locked up in the vaults of the
auditor and the money is still in the treas
ury helping to offset interest accounts on
overdrafts
No notice has ever been given to the
property owners that these warrants are
waiting for them and the amount is be-
ing credited as one of the assets of the
city.
The reason for this is that the finance
committee of the council desires to keen
all the money it can as long as it can
and therefore no effort has been made
to notify anyone that they have rebates
coming.

city, Tuesday morning, February 18th,
of tuberculosis, from which disease
she had been suffering for many

Slapped the life and the strength of the

suffering that had been borne with
fortitude by the gentle wife and
mother.

was Mary Alletta Wilson, was born
September Goth, 1873, her parents be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper Wilson. who
lived near Moscow. Here the girl
made her home till she became the
wife of VIM. C. Campbell, of this
city, the marriage having occurred on
June 9th, 1900. Two little girls
came to bless the few years of wife
hood that life had for the deceased,
both of whom still survive to mourn
that loss of a mothers tender care
that had been denied them. The little
ones are Eva, aged six. and Dolly,
aged three years.
Mrs. Campbell! had been member
of the Congregational church for the
past seven years, being at all times
consistent in her Christian faith.
The funeral services were held We'd
